EXAMINATION IN MENSURATION AND LAND SURVEYING. 
Maximum Number of Marks, 200. Pass Number, 100. 
Wednesday, May \0th,from 10 a.m. till 1 p.m, 
1. On the plan given on page 4 of this paper 1 draw in pencil the chain lines 
you would run to enable you to make and plot a complete survey without the 
aid of angular instruments. 
2. Compute the areas of the two inclosures given upon page 2, 1 using the 
ordinary plotting scale for this purpose, and giving the results in acres, roods, 
and perches. 
3. From the field notes given upon page 3 1 lay down the survey lines, and 
plot the details to a scale of 2 chains to an inch. 
Note. — The Candidate must not spend more than forty minutes over this 
question. 
4. Make up the level book on page 2,' filling in the rises, falls, and reduced 
levels. 
5. Plot the section in the last question to a scale of 2 chains to an inch 
horizontal, and 20 feet to an inch vertical. 
6. The points A and B are the ends of a base line measured upon the main- 
land, which is 84-36 chains in length. 
C is a point upon an island. 
The observed angle CAB is 82° 42', and the observed angle CBA is 72° 30' : 
required the length of AC. 
7. In a similar case to the foregoing, where the ascertained distance from 
A to C was 220 chains, the telescope of a theodolite stood 4 32 feet above the 
mark at A, having a levelled value of 172-56 feet. 
The angle of elevation observed to point C was 2° 16'. Give the reduced 
level of point C after making due allovgcnco for curvature and refraction. 
8. A field scaled from a plan with a scale of 3 chains to an inch gave as a 
result 10 acres, 3 roods, 20 poles ; it was then found that the plan had been 
plotted to a scale of jig, or 25 344 inches to a mile. What is the correct area 
of the field ?
