TRIGONOMETRICAL SURrEr.

We hero froth a sisielltern correepoodeol. that Dr. SPCA-
Inch, of Blackheath, has been in the Shetland Isles all thia
mummer, by order of the Board ofOrduance, Wog sauteieled
with the trigonometrical survey Nader the late (keen)
Mudge, and continued by Captain Colby. The ',odium oh.
jest of the survey is to ascertain the specific gravity sad
danoily of the earthed the shalom'. and in the circuits where
the Zenith Sector Ass placed. for determining the extreme
soethera point of the meridiousl are begun by the late Ge-
net& Boy, sod Now continued from Denson to Balls. These
enerectioas are required to determine say eventual swam
arising from a deviation is the plumb line, and aloe the local
billoesusse eapible of affect Mettle pendulum, is used by Dr.
Gregory sad M. Blot, and mere lately by Captain Koller.
The whole is coonemed with similar ohscroationa, carried ou
for mum Yearimest, Oa the meridional are in qnestion as it
pups, through l&gland and Scotland. This effeet aw as-
trosomical instruments was first noticed by the Freud, *ad
Spaofsh aalrgeomers II South America, and applied by
J. Maskelyse se the problem of determining She earth's
duality. It is treated of at full length In Berea De Zilch's
work, sad the ',emit, n 1 atirodine to it was strongly urged
by the late lamented D. Playfair. The madam of the
Beard of Ordisaace, in selecting Dr. 111.Colloch for as
iw-
vertigatioe of sorb importance to science, deserves the
highest praise, and is ass earnest of the attention they have
paid Is the doe and accurate eXeCeliell of this important
work. Dr. Ill'eallocis is (twitter, we are informed. extend-
ing his observations, sous to farm • geological map of the
