Darwin's remarks on Eeles's opinions. Ph. 

 tr. 1757. 240. 



Supposes that the particles of vapour are real steam, but 

 incapable of communicating their heat, perhaps on account 

 •f some motion. 



Hamilton on evaporation. Pli. tr. 1765. 146. 



Objects both to vesicles and to fixed fire, and maintains 

 the doctrine of solution in air.

 evaporation. A. Berl. 1769. 68. 1772. 103.

 Dobson on evaporation. Ph. tr. 1777.244. 



The mean annual evaporation, in an exposed situation at 

 Liverpool, was 38.79 inches ; the rain 37.43.

 *Deluc on evaporation. Ph. tr. 1792. 400. 



Maintains, that vapour exists in air precisely as in a va- 

 cuum, the distance at which its particles can remain with- 

 out uniting with each other being determined only by the 

 temperature, and not being affected by the interposition of 

 air. Deluc finds that the hygrometer stands at the same 

 height in a moist vacuum as in moist air.

Dalton on rain ,ind evaporation. Manch. M. 

 V. 346. Gilb. XV. 121. 



Compared the rain with the quantity of water that ran out 

 of a vessel of earth three feet deep, sunk into the ground. At 

 Manchester, where the rain was 33.5 inches, the evapora- 

 tion was 25 inches of rain, besides 5 allowed for dew. But 

 the rain was here prevented from running off the surface of 

 the earth, and there were probably some other causes that 

 increased the evaporation. . From the mean of many ac- 

 counts of rain, which appears to be about 31 inches for all 

 England and Wales ; adding 5 inches for dew, and deduct- 

 ing 13 for the water carried offby rivers, we have 23 inches 

 for the mean evaporation from the surface of England and 

 Wales. 



Dalton on the constitution of mixed gases, 

 and on evaporation. Manch. M. V. 535. 

 Gilb. XII. .085. Nich. VI. 257. VII. 5. 



Maintains, that there is no mutual repulsion betv/ecn the 

 particles of different gases.
