Barometer and Thermometer made in Norway. 293 



verig, in the diocese of Bergen in Norway. In compliance 

 with our request the same accurate observer has communicated 

 to us his observations on the mean state of the barometer and 

 thermometer, and on the temperature of springs, with the 

 view of determining the mean temperature of the parallel of 

 60° in the old world. 



From 1798 to 1807 the observations were made at Mal- 

 manger in the diocese of Bergen, in lat. 59° 58', and at an 

 altitude of 64 Rhinland feet above the sea. From 1807 to 

 1828 they were made at Ullensvang, in the same diocese, in 

 lat. 60° 19', and at the height of 32 Rhinland feet above the 

 level of the sea. The height of the barometer, which is given 

 in French inches, is reduced to the temperature of 0° of Reau- 

 mur's scale.
