CHAPTER V. 



THE SUPPORT OF THE HIMALAYAS. 



The geodetic stations in the Himalayas, with the exception of a 

 few isolated observations which will be dealt with separately, are 

 ranged along the southern edge of the hills, covering some ten degrees 

 of longitude and a distance of forty miles in from the edge of the 

 hills. The latitude stations are given in table No. 28, arranged in a 

 series of groups, in order of groups from west to east, aiid,°in each

 in the Himalayas on the assumption used in the text.

group, of their distance from the main boundary. In this table is 

 also given a calculation of the deflections which should be expected 

 at each station, in accordance with the assumptions of imaginary 

 topography which have been used in the preceding chapters. These 

 deflections are given in three elements ; firstly the effect of the 

 attraction of the Imaginary Range, supposed to be compensated 

 according to Mr. Hayford's factors for a uniform compensation
