Survey. — Two topographic parties of four men each, two leveling par- 

 ties of three men each, and one triangulation party of four men were 

 outfitted for work in this reserve. To the triangulation party was also 

 assigned the duty of connecting the triangulation with that to be exe- 

 cuted for the Teton Eeserve, both depending on a base line and astro- 

 nomic position previously measured near Sheridan, Wyo.
