Note 1109 — Chapter X · THE ASTRONOMICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE KNOWN WORLD

The relation between the parallels as given in the Almagest, loc. cit. and in the Geography, loc. cit., are shown graphically in the adjoining table (Fig. 11, cols. I and II). In the text of the Almagest the parallels are not specifically named beyond the twenty-sixth. Each paragraph, however, is numbered to correspond to the parallel which it describes through the thirty-eighth. The thirty-ninth paragraph describes conditions at the pole.
