PENOBSCOT, WALDO, AND HANCOCK COUNTIES. 
Bucksport, Bangor, and Orono Quadrangles. 
The elevations published in the following list are based on an 
aluminum tablet placed in the post-office and custom-house building 
at Bangor, Me., the elevation of which is accepted as 23.725 feet above 
mean sea level. This elevation is derived from tidal observations on 
the Penobscot River at Bucksport, Me., during two lunar months, 
August and September, L899, and one adjusted level circuit between 
Bucksport and Bangor, over which a closure error of 0.255 feet was 
distributed. 
The leveling in the Bucksporl quadrangle was executed in L899 
under the direction of Mr. E. B. Clark, topographer, by Messrs. 
Robert Ooe and J. \V. Edgerly, levelmen; in the Bangor quadrangle 
in 1900 under the direction of .Air. K. B. (lark, topographer, by J. W. 
Edgerly, levelman; and in the Orono quadrangle in L 900 under the 
direction of Mr. W. H. Lovell, topographer, by J. W. Edgerly, 
levelman.
