original stations of the U. S. S, BOWDITCH Survey of 1944, and one sta~
tion taken directly fram the U. S. S, BOWDITCH Survey of Eniwetok. Stations were located so that all Project islands were tied in directly to
the scheme or could be tied in by local triangulation, A new station in
the lagoon off the south end of Runit Island was established to strengthen the base expansion quadrangle. Japtan was not included in the control

requirements, but could be tied in by local triangulation,

To simplify reference to stations, where practical they have been

given the name of the island on which they are located.

Some of the

U. S. S,. BOWDITCH and Joint Task Force Seven stations have been renamed
and reference to the renaming is made in the station recovery notes. The
stations of the survey and location are as follows:

GEOGRAPHIC POSITION AND AZIMUTH
In the interests of economy and because little accuracy would be

lost thereby, it was originally planned to accept the geographic position
of station North Base and the azimuth of the new base line as the origin

of position and azimuth, as well as the length of the base line. But,
after the new station Pinnacle had been built in the lagoon and the base
expansion quadrangle could be observed, results indicated that the loc-

ation of the North Base marker was eccentric to the position established
by the Task Force Seven Survey and could not be accepted as the point of
orgin of the H&N survey. A computed difference of approximately four-
