Abstract
THE growth of the Indian Survey and the improvements that have been introduced from time to time are to some extent mirrored by the increase in size and usefulness of the tables, which the department find it necessary to publish. The fourth edition of these useful tables βto facilitate the computation of a trigonometrical survey and the projection of maps for India,β which fill a tolerably thick quarto volume, bears possibly the same relation to the modest first edition that the work of the survey of to-day does to the work accomplished some sixty years since. In that first edition only seventeen tables appeared. Each successive issue increased that number, till now we have no fewer than sixty-nine tables and six appendices containing useful matter likely to prove of assistance to geographical explorers.
