Trials of jars used in the i" sort of experiments: [Art. 240] tried by putting 

 a sliding plate with or without the white cylinder on neg. side. 



Th. Dec. 3 [1772]. Th. 55. N. 22. 



[6 observations.] 



[Result.] There seems some mistake in the 3 rd exper., therefore if we make 



use only of those exper. in which they sep. pos. the jar for j contains 



more than H; 



id est inc. of el., but if we made use only of the other exper. it would be

 jar i equals w. cyl. + g. c. 2 + B + - - + 5, 6 = 3184 



jar 4 w. c. + g. c. 2 + B + + 5 - 10 = 2675 



jar 3 w. c. + g. c. 2 + g. c. i + B + 5 - 7^ = 3635 



jar 2 w. c. + g. c. 2 + - - + 5 - 16 = 3050 



507] Trials of the 5** and 6 th trial plates, the trial plate being placed on neg. 

 side. 



Result. Therefore trial plate 6 - 56 = H. 



[Trial plate] 6 18 rather more than C'. 



By mean 6 18 = C, and trial plate 5 - 17 = C.
