Class III — Errors larger than 9 meters. These large errors are most likely to be
due to incorrect orientation and are therefore not included in the
calculation of m p .
Class IV — Errors in reading or calculation. A survey of how the errors in these
classes are distributed among the different series in shown in Table I.

n = the number of points. Classes of errors — see text.

Remarks: (') Of these, 55 near land with sparse vegetation, equal to 5% of all points —
variation from 4.5 to 5.7% for each series.
The number of errors in Classes II-IV together is highest, 239, in a scale of
1:15.000, Aviogon, and lowest, 157, in a scale of 1:15.000, Aviotar.
Among the field workers, N had the greatest number of errors in Class II-IV, with
a total of 354 for all series while F had only 174 for the same series (A had 248).
The sum total of errors for each series did not show any great variation, with the
highest number of errors, 215, in series 3, and the lowest, 171, in series 4.
