printed publications, particularly in Brewster's Journal, 

 the history of which I have always here inserted. 



'April 1829. Physical Notices of the Bay of 

 Naples. No. III. : Pausilippo and Lake Agnano. On 

 the Defects of the Syinpesometer as applied to the 

 Measurement of Heights. Physical Notices, No. IV.

* No. II. of the Physical Notices, or Herculaneum, was 

 in great part translated in the Bibliotheque Universelle 

 for April, and No. I. has, I hear from Prof. Jamieson, 

 recently appeared in German in a periodical of Leonhard. 

 In Jamieson's Journal last year appeared an abstract of 

 observations on the temperature of springs at Colinton : 

 these have been translated in the Bulletin Universelle for 

 August 1829. In the same work appeared my paper on 

 registering thermometers, from Brewster's Journal of last 

 year. Jamieson published in his Journal for October a 

 r of mine to him on a boulder on the Pentlands : a 

 notice of it, and also of my paper on Serapis, appeared 

 in the E<linlmrgh Journal of Natural and Geographical 

 No. Ill/ 



In his meteorological journal he thus writes : 



' Friil <i if, January 1st, 1830. I now enter the fourth

original character, as I intend to make it the receptacle of 



all my experiments connected with practical meteorology ;
