This fpace I divided into 90 degrees on 

 all the Thermometers , beginning to number 

 from the freezing point. Sixty four of thefe 

 degrees is nearly equal to the heat of the 

 blood of animals; which I found by the rule 

 iven in the Thilofophkal Tranfatfions, Vol. 

 II. p. 1. of Mr. Motte's Abridgment, viz. by 

 placing one of the Thermometers in water 

 heated to the greateft degree, that I could 

 bear my hand in it, ftirring it about : And 

 which I was further affured of, by placing 

 the ball of my Thermometer in the flow- 

 ing blood of an expiring Ox. The heat of 

 the blood to that of boiling water is as 14 

 + ?rto 33. 



By placing the ball of one of thefe Ther- 

 mometers in my bofom, and under an arm- 

 pit, I found the external heat of the body 

 54 of thefe degrees. The heat of milk, 

 as it comes from the Cow, is 55 degrees, 

 which is nearly the fame with that for 

 hatching of eggs. The heat of urine 58 

 degrees. The common temperate point in 

 Thermometers is about 18 degrees.
