If the last two pages in your N.A. are blank (i.e. pp. xxxiv-xxxv), you are
probably missing something. However, to be sure, you should look for altitude
correction tables, not: HP correction tables.

P.S.
You are luckier than some English sailors. While you can still use the
correction tables of last year's almanac, some of this year's TSO copies are
lacking daily pages for May and June. Quite embarrassing, considering that
this is the main season for many important passages. I thought I mention this
as food for thought for those amongst us who use celestial as backup for GPS.
Sometimes it works the other way round! So much for the myth of the self
sufficient celestial navigator, who does not depend on a properly functioning
system operated by the government.
My apologies to George Huxtable for "farting in church".
