3S6 Register of the Thermometer Jcept at Wanlochhead, ^c. 



As the above register was taken at Wanloikhead, within a 

 few yards of the highest inhabitated house in Great Britain, on 

 that account I hope it may be of some value. Admitting the 

 Company's house at Leadhills to be 1280 feet above the level 

 of the sea, by my measurement the situation of the gage was 

 106 feet higher, or 1386. 



I beg leave ajso to add, that I had last summer measured, 

 by means of a theodolite, the height of the Lowthers, and found 

 that it rises 1129 feet above the Agent's house at Leadhills, 

 and consequently 1129 + 1280 = 2409 feet above the level of 

 the sea.
