To Correspondents. 



My correspondent R does not seem to be aware, that the 

 heights of the barometer are not taken at the same time of 

 the day by Mr. Gilpin and Mr. Bancks. 



It does not appear when Zahn's experiment on the radia- 

 tion of cold was made, from the account of Prof. Kries, 

 who only mentions it incidentally ; and I have not his works 

 to refer to. I do not think it necessary therefore, to copy 

 from Musschenbroeck the account of a similar experiment 

 made by the Academy del Cimento, and published in their 

 transactions for 1667. 



Mr. Knight's paper is necessarily deferred on account of 

 the plate.
