Abstract
THE first point raised by Mr. Richards refers to my remark that the method of placing a single triangle of survey round a pyramid (as in the 1881 survey) was better than a line of eight lengths of traverse carried on by dead reckoning round the base, as in 1925. The effect of the error being possibly caused in the first of the eight angles, was only stated by me to illustrate the unsatisfactory principle of the method.
