No changes have been made in the numbering of those pages of Appendix 3, Report of 1903, which contain the descriptions of bench marks. Changes have been made in the index which simplify it and make it applicable only to the descriptions contained herein. The index has been placed after the descriptions, while in the original it was before them.
Data received at this othee since the appearance of the original publication made it desirable to change some of the descriptions in order to make them conform to the changes in topographic features in the vicinity of a bench mark. Only a very small percentage of the descriptions have had any changes made in them.
