TABLE OF CENTIMETRES AND INCHES.

100 centimetres = 1 metre = 39-1/3 inches; 1 centimetre = 2/5 inch as near as possible.

5 centimetres =  2    inches.
10     "       =  4       "
15     "       =  6       "
20     "       =  8       "
25     "       = 10       "
30     "       = 12       "    = 1 foot.
45     "       = 18       "    = 1-1/2 feet.
50     "       = 20       "    = 1 ft. 8 in.
60     "       = 24       "    = 2 feet.
90     "       = 36       "    = 3 feet.
100     "       = 39-1/3   "    = 3 ft. 3-1/3 in.

TABLE OF METRES AND FEET, FOR DETERMINING THE
HEIGHT OF MOUNTAINS, &c.

1 metre = 3 ft. 3-1/3 in. as near as possible, without using decimals; but at this computation 2 inches are lost in every 25 metres, which however have been duly supplied in the following table, but the fractions omitted:—­

TABLE OF KILOMETRES AND MILES.

1 kilometre = 1,000 metres = 1,093 yards = 5/8 mile, as nearly as possible, without employing decimals; but at this computation the kilometre gains 11 yards, 40 kilometres gain 1/4 mile, and 160 kilometres gain 1 mile.  This gain has been deducted in the following table, and all fractions less than 1/4 omitted:—­
