Trigonometrical Survey. 
CONCLUSION. 
Having communicated to the public, through the very re- 
spectable medium of the Royal Society, the particulars relat- 
ing to the trigonometrical operation, we shall close the work 
with a few remarks concerning it. 
In this early stage of the survey, the first object in view, hag 
been to determine the situations of the principal points on the 
sea coast, and those objects which are near it. Having executed 
this resolution, the result will sufficiently explain its importance ; 
as it will be found, that by the intersections of churches, or other 
^edifices, the coast is laid down from Fairlight Head to Port- 
land. Thus, Bexhill Church, Pevensey Church, the station on 
Beachy Head, Brighthelmstone Church, Southwick Church* 
New Shoreham Church, Goring Church, Pagham Church, 
Selsea Church, Selsea High House, Cackham Tower, and the 
Watch House at the mouth of Chichester Harbour, mark the 
coast of Sussex. In like manner, it will be found, that the 
coast of Hampshire is laid down from the intersections of many 
remarkable objects, of which the principal ones, are South 
Hayling Church, Portsmouth Church, Calshot Castle, East 
Cowes Sea Mark, St. Catherine’s Light House or Sea Mark, 
Ashey Down Sea Mark, the Needles Light House, Hurst Castle 
Light House, with Christchurch Head, or, as it is more fre- 
quently called, Hengistbury Head. The coast of Dorsetshire 
also, has many places laid down: — Poole Church, Brank- 
sea Castle, the Barrow on Swyre Head near St. Albans
