After I hour and 15 minutes had elapsed, the Heat 

 was found to be as follows : — 



At the surface of the ice ..... 40° 



1 inch above it ...... . 82 



2 inches ........ 106 



3 inches ........ 123 



The Heat of the water had hitherto been taken near 

 the side of the jar ; in the two following trials it was 

 measured in the middle or axis of the jar. 



When I hour and 30 minutes (reckoning always from 

 the time when the boiling-hot water was poured into the 

 jar) had elapsed, the Heat of the water in the middle 

 of the jar was found to be as follows : — 



At the surface of the ice ..... 40° 



1 inch above it ....... 84 



2 inches ........ 115 



3 inches ........ 116

An end being, now put to the experiment, the hot 

 water was poured off from the ice, and on weighing that 

 which remained, it was found that 5 oz. 6 grains, Troy, 

 (= 2406 grains) of ice had been melted. 



Taking the mean temperature of the water at the end
