It may be the foot in cases where the bubo has been found in the groin, but I hold it is not ne cessary to find a sore, as infection may have taken place through the smallest rent in the skin, which, by the time the bubo makes its appearance, has entirely healed

The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty Charts which has been found to be 4 feet To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 3 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to the height given in the table.
