Abstract
IT is with very great pleasure that we record the issue of the first of a new series of Professional Papers by the Ordnance Survey. The fundamental work of the Survey is recorded in a series of volumes which form one of the most important contributions to geodesy that have been made; but in more recent years new material has oftener been referred to in the annual progress reports than dealt with thoroughly in special publications such as the one before us. At the present time, when there is already high-grade work in hand, and much more will be required in the survey of all parts of the Empire, the experience gained by the great survey establishments is of the highest value to those engaged on similar work in the oversea Dominions and the Crown Colonies.
