51 6 Lieut . Col. Lambton’s abstract of the results deduced 
which a northern direction from Daumergidda would render 
it necessary to passthrough. But it would be a sufficient point 
gained, if a series of triangles were carried from Nagpoor in 
Berar, to Kalpy on the Jumna, which two places, if the maps 
are correct, lie nearly on the same meridian. From Kalpy, 
the meridional series might perhaps be continued north to 
the Kemaoon mountains ; Kalpy would, also be a favourable 
position from which to extend a series to the east and west, 
and for meridian stations not more than sixty or seventy miles 
from each other, where the positions of the meridians ought 
to be determined by pole star observations. Data would then 
be had for extending the survey on a more enlarged scale 
over the upper provinces ; and the arc between Nagpoor and 
Kalpy might be easily reduced to the one terminating in 
latitude 21 0 6' (that station of observation and the one near 
Nagpoor being connected), so as to form one entire arc 
between the parallels of Pumice and Kalpy. Thus would be 
formed a geometrical connection between the southern and 
northern possessions of the East India company, and a com- 
plete basis laid for local and detailed surveys of the whole. 
Innumerable might be the individuals employed in carrying 
them into effect, and various might be the description of 
these surveys. By the assistance of this work as a foundation, 
they might all be rendered useful ; but without it, no com- 
bination of the best common surveys could ever be formed 
into a correct map to embrace such an extensive territory as 
British India.
