In Table XVI. of Mr. Baily, the Equation of equal Altitudes is given for the entire

interval of 24 hours, but it is seldom required beyond the above limits.

Puissant, calculating the compression from the measurement of the great arc in France, obtains different results on different sides of the Meridian of Paris, making it as low as

2 on the side of the Atlantic, and 30s to the Eastward; which latter quantity is generally assumed on the Continent.
