Scope and Contents
Remarks page at beginning of book carries this notation: "This book contains a copy of angles read during the season of 1875 by the Party No. 3 Colorado Division. The instruments used were two, an 8 inch No. 7? Wrdemann transit reading to 10" which was soon discarded for its poor glass; and a Stockpole 6 in 10" transit no 1458 which, though less steady, and not so well divided gave better satisfaction. The weather generally was exceedingly bad for triangulation, it being the rainy season, the sky obscured by clouds." Note: entries in this book are out of order, beginning Aug. 6, 1875, at Cerro Blanco, followed by July entries that are in reverse date order, and then continuing through September to Oct. 9.
