The distance of the parallels of Dunkirk and Greenwich, deduced from the extension of the triangulation of England into France, in 1862, is 161407.3 ft., which is 3.9 ft. greater than that obtained from Captain Kater’s triangulation, and 3.2 ft. less than the distance calculated by Delambre from General Roy’s triangulation. The following table shows the data of the English arc with the distances in standard feet from Formentera.

The latitude assigned in this table to Saxavord is not the directly observed latitude, which is 60° 49′ 38.58″, for there are here a cluster of three points, whose latitudes are astronomically determined; and if we transfer, by means of the geodesic connexion, the latitude of Gerth of Scaw to Saxavord, we get 60° 49′ 36.59″; and if we similarly transfer the latitude of Balta, we get 60° 49′ 36.46″. The mean of these three is that entered in the above table.
