PRACTICE OF LEVELLING CONTENTS. Col. Sykes' apparatus for finding altitudes TABLE I. To find barometric pressures and elevation corresponding to any observed temperature between 214° and 180° 85 write C at top of tower, and state as follows, viz. In triangle CDB 81,49+40=121.49, and 81.49—40-41.49; then 121.49: 41.49 :: tan, C+B=69° 3': tan. C-B-42° 24'; then to find BC 69° 30'-42° 24'}= 270 5′-angle C, sin. 27° 5' : 40 :: 41°: CB=57.62. 2 VOL. II. Page 208. Belfast. There have been two reservoirs, for supplying the wealthier inhabitants with water, for a considerable time past. New waterworks are in progress of execution, for supplying the town with excellent water from the Cave Hill. Page 209. Dublin.
