Abstract

I QUITE agree with the opinion expressed by Mr. Gulatee of the Survey of India1 that Stokes's formula for the elevation of the geoid above the spheroid of reference is rather sensitive to systematic errors in gravity. The proper course seems to be, however, not to abandon Stokes's formula but to try to rid of error the reduced values of gravity, so that the results of applying the formula may be trusted.
