This fpacc I divided into 90 degrees on 

 all the Thermometers , beginning to number 

 from the freezing point* Sixty four of thefe 

 degrees is nearly equal to the heat of the 

 blood of animals 5 which I found by the rule 

 given in the Thilofophical Tr an faff ions 7 VoL 

 11./. i. of Mr. Motte's Abridgment ', viz. by 

 placing one of the Thermometers in water 

 heated to the greateft degree, that I could 

 bear my hand in it, ftirring it about : And 

 which I was further affured of, by placing 

 the ball of my Thermometer in the flow-

 the blood to that of boiling water is as 14 



+ T 7 tO 3 3. 



By placing the ball of one of thefe Ther- 

 mometers in my bofom, and under an arm- 

 pit, I found the external heat of the body 

 54 of thefe degrees. The heat of milk, 

 as it comes from the Cow, is 55 degrees^ 

 which is nearly the fame with that for 

 hatching of eggs. The heat of urine 58 

 degrees. The common temperate point in 

 Thermometers is about 18 degrees.
