  Of 
  these 
  thirty-two 
  signal 
  stations 
  but 
  one 
  tripod, 
  that 
  over 
  

   Mott 
  2, 
  was 
  built, 
  and 
  seven 
  flags 
  over 
  others 
  ; 
  the 
  remaining 
  twen- 
  

   ty-five 
  being 
  natural 
  objects. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  year 
  I 
  have 
  made 
  fifty-seven 
  other 
  surveys 
  of 
  in- 
  

   dividual

  Six 
  tracts 
  in 
  Long 
  Island 
  Sound 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Mattituck 
  

   were 
  surveyed 
  in 
  relation 
  to 
  our 
  recent 
  triangulation 
  in 
  townships 
  

   and 
  ten-acre 
  lots. 
  These 
  tracts 
  had 
  been 
  laid 
  out 
  before 
  from 
  the 
  

   shore 
  before 
  the 
  triangulation 
  system 
  had 
  been 
  completed 
  in 
  that 
  

   locality. 
  

  

  Long 
  Island 
  Sound, 
  6 
  surveys, 
  2,285.0 
  acres. 
  

  

  Each 
  year 
  it 
  becomes 
  necessary 
  to 
  repair 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  signals 
  

   and 
  at 
  intervals 
  to 
  entirely 
  rebuild 
  others, 
  and 
  on 
  new 
  survey 
  work 
  

   it 
  is 
  generally 
  necessary 
  to 
  have 
  some 
  tripod 
  signals, 
  although 
  as 
  

   many 
  natural 
  objects 
  are 
  taken 
  as 
  can 
  be 
  used 
  to 
  advantage. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  year 
  the 
  tripod 
  signals 
  on 
  the 
  southerly 
  shore 
  of 
  

   Staten 
  Island, 
  used 
  in 
  the 
  Raritan 
  Bay 
  surveys, 
  were 
  repaired 
  and 
  

   painted. 
  Also 
  repairs 
  were 
  made 
  on 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  signals 
  between 
  

   Port 
  Jefferson 
  and 
  Horton's 
  Point, 
  and 
  all 
  were 
  inspected. 
  There
