A propos de cet article

Ex-library. Original publisher's maroon cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine (including number "561"). 6" x 9 1/4." Forty-two pages, complete. One black-and-white plate, complete.

Covers are very clean and intact except for a few faint marks on front, slight wear to extremities, and light rubbing. A Near Fine copy. This is Bulletin 561, a report by the United States Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey about "spirit leveling" in the Territory of Hawai'i from 1910-1913, inclusive. The Introduction notes the scope of work as follows: "All results of spirit leveling in the Territory of Hawaii by the United States Geological Survey are included in this report, arranged by quadrangles. All of the elevations are based on tidal bench marks of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, and the Hawaii Railroad Co." The benchmarks used in Hawai'i spirit leveling are briefly described as having two forms, a circular bronze tablet cemented in a drill hole in the rock wall of a public buildings, bridge abutment, or other architectural structure or, in the absence of rock or architecture, a wrought-iron post set into the ground. The numbers stamped on the benchmarks show the "elevations to the nearest foot as determined by the levelman." The report is principally a list of "primary leveling" benchmarks with about a line or two per entry describing where that benchmark is located in Hawai'i. The Introduction says no precise leveling has been carried out yet in Hawai'i. The list is alphabetical by location (town, landmark, and the like) within a specific quadrangle or region. Example entry: "[Region] From point 2.3 miles northwest of Hakalau post office west, northwest, and north to Pohakupuka schoolhouse. [Constituent location] Hakalau post office, 2.3 miles northwest of, concrete culvert on county road, seaward side of south end; chisel point painted 'U. S. B. M.'; Feet: 321.06." A brief Appendix about "Secondary Elevations" is in the back.…
