For the places not otherwise marked in these Tables, the tides were referred to the 
transit immediately preceding, as giving sufficient exactness for general maritime 
purposes: but observations received at the Admiralty since the above laws were 
discovered, have been referred to the third, fourth, or fifth preceding transit, accord- 
ing to their place in Table B. 
The Devonport tides discussed some years ago, apart from those of neighbouring 
places, appeared to give the greatest exactness with the fourth preceding transit, 
which has accordingly been used in the Admiralty Tables. Ihere can be no doubt 
at present that the third preceding transit is more correct for this port ; but the 
labour of recalculating new Tables would be great, and the difference of the result 
would never be more than one minute in the time and one inch in the height.
