hope that lines of geoidal section may be observed in the following
countries
A. (I) In Italy: from Como to Otranto
(II) From Corfu through Greece and the Aegean Islands to
the Turkish West Coast;
(III) In Turkey: from the West Coast to the Lebanese and
Syrian frontier
(IV) Through the Lebanon, Syria and Israel to the Egyptian
frontier
In Egyptfrom Israel to Cairo and in those parts of the
Nile Valley where sufficient observations do not yet exist;
In Norway: along latitude 6o° from the Swedish frontier
to the Atlantic
In Swedena meridional Section from latitude 6o° to
latitude 56° and thence through Denmark to Germany
In Germany and Austriafrom the neighbourhood of
Strasbourg along the Danube to Vienna and beyond
In Vugoslavia: from some point in Greece northwards to
Belgrade and the Hungarian frontier.
In countries where adequate section lines exist the I.U.G.G.
also expresses the hope that further observations will
eventually be made sufficient to determine the form of the
geoid in the whole country.
11.International Geophysical Year
The I.U.G.G., considering the opportunity offered by the Interna
tional Geophysical Year during which several expeditions will be
organized in the arctic, the antarctic and on islandsrecommends
that gravimetric measurements should be made during these expedi
tions over the largest areas possible on the polar continents and the
greatest number of islands.
B.Resolutions adopted by the International Association of Geodesy
and transmitted to each National Committee.
Section 1Triangulation
1. The International Association of Geodesy, considering the con
ditions under which the general adjustment of the European Trian
gulation Net has been performed during the preceding period, expresses
the hope that an agreement could intervene between the interested
countries in order that such homogeneous data obtained therefrom
be used in the compilation of nautical charts and in the publication
of data useful for navigation.
2. The I.A.G., considering that it is not feasible for each country
to obtain the special equipment required for making precise geodetic
length measurements, resolves that the Central Bureau initiates plans
for the organization of an international base measurement and geodim-
eter party, when it is fully determined that the latter method is
