The mean height of the barometer at Athlone In June was 

 29.765, and of the thermometer 57.19. 



At Belfaft that of the barometer was 29.965, and of the 

 thermometer 59.12, 



The mean of the morning obfervations at Athlone in the 

 month of May was as to the barometer 29.630, and as to the 

 thermometer 48°. 9, and at ten o'clock we may fuppofe it 50°. 



By calculating from thefe data Athlone lies 279 higher than 

 Belfaft. 



But in the month of June the mean of the barometrical 

 obfervations in the mornings gives 29.72 inches, and the mean 

 of the thermometrical obfervations at eight in the morning 

 52.6, which at ten o'clock we may fuppofe S3-^- 



Calculating from hence we have the height of Athlone 

 over Belfaft =210 feet ; perhaps the truth may be between 

 both, and then the height of Athlone over the fea fliould be 

 244 feet. Bat obfervations of this fort are generally taken too 

 carelefsly to imprefs much confidence.
