50 PRIMARY TRIANGULATION AND PRIMARY TRAVERSE, [hull. 216. 
and Sugar Loaf stations of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 
near Harpers Ferry, W. Va., but during the season of 1902 Mr. Gan- 
nett extended a belt of triangulation from Wray-Gebhardt stations 
in the transcontinental belt of United States Coast and Geodetic Sur- 
vey near Huntington, W. Va., up the Ohio River, and connected with 
previous work near Parkersburg. The discrepancy in latitude and 
longitude was distributed arbitrarily so as not to disturb figure adjust- 
ments, and has been applied so as to reduce all positions to the U. S. 
standard datum as derived from Wray-Gebhardt.
