Abstract
SOME interesting and considerable variations in level were noticed on Coe Fen, Cambridge, after the floods of 1947. A portion of the Fen is used by the Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, for practical exercises in surveying. For this purpose, concrete blocks approximately 1 ft. 0 in. square by 1 ft. 6 in. deep have been sunk into the ground to form the survey stations, the actual station being taken as the centre of a steel tube cast solid with the concrete block and projecting slightly above the surface of the block. These stations are grouped into closed polygons.
