Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Geologist for the Year 1883 This survey is made as a part of the United States Coast and Geo detic Survey, and at the expense of the United States Government. It is done under the direction of our Geological Survey, by authority of the act of Congress which directs the Coast and Geodetic Survey to aid States which are carrying on geological and topographical sur veys. The accompanying small State map has marked on it the points which have been accurately determined in latitude and longi tude in this survey. Those marked with a small triangle are primary stations which have been occupied, and from which angles have been measured to numerous other points. The numbers on points refer' to their names which are given in the following list. Those marked by a dot are tertiary stations. No numbers are attached to them. They have been observed upon from the primary stations, but have not been occupied and used as stations for measuring angles. A list of those which have been observed upon from the High Tome and High Mountain, during the past summer, are given below. The points which have been selected for primary stations in the southern part of the State, but have not yet been occupied for meas uring angles, are each designated by a small circle and a number, and they are set down in the list with the other primary stations.
