Abstract
IN the British Empire at the present time, geodetic operations are mainly confined to Canada, India, and South Africa. The Dominion and the Union are working principally for the more pressing needs of development; in India, on the other hand, apart from the necessity for revision, more attention is being paid to the interpretation of results. The Great Trigonometri-cal Survey of India itself being long complete, triangulation is now being carried on in the outer zones in Burma and on the Siamese frontier at the date of the last Geodetic Report.1
