an inequality of 2’ 5” is altogether impoffible in fo fmall an angle
‘as 5° 9" (See H at Avafaxa), the more fo that in the angle C

Such are Mr. Swamberg’s remarks on that important fubject,
which I hope the reader will not blame me for inferting in the
courfe of thefe travels. I fhall now proceed with the account of
