“Abel XVIL. —* Abstract of a Meterological Foirsiak kept at 
Deerfield, (Muss.) beginning March 1817, and ending 
ovember 1818. North pron 42° 34 bit West 
5 ee 72° 39’ from London ; by Evwarp Hirca- 
coux, A. M. to which is added a | Meteorological Table, 
ep at rie by Dr. T. R. Bec 
Tuts abstract embraces nothing but the range of the 
thermometer, direction of the winds, and state of the weath- 
er. ‘The thermometer used was an ordinary one, with Fah- 
renheit’s scale ; and on ee sid SANE Ber was ea 
to vary one degree’ from th the was 
made in forming this abstract. "The ole mi ies ‘ther- 
mometer was on the second story ofa brick building, twenty 
feet from the ground, where it was not exposed to the direct 
or reflected rays of the sun.- Several circumstances render- 
ed it necessary for me to fix on 7h. A. M. 11 P. M. and 10 
P. M. for the hours of observation in the winter, and on 6h. 
A.M.2 P.M. and 10 P.M. in the summer. Iam sensible 
the observations were not, on these several accounts, of the 
most delicate kind; but believing them to give a tole- 
rably correct view of the temperature of this climate, and 
knowing of no journal of this kind kept in this asi I 
presume to offer this to your consideration. My thermom- 
eter has accidentally been broken, or TI should Caubaibe the 
journal so as to make out complete years before sending i it 
to you.
