World ; and in this comparison we shall begin with the Asia- 

 tic Pole, and suppose it to have a temperature of — 3°£, and 

 to be placed in 80° N. Lat. and 95° of East Long, from Green- 

 wich.

From these differences, which are almost all negative, it ap- 

 pears that we have assumed too great a degree of cold for the 

 Asiatic Pole. If we make it 0° of Fahrenheit, we obtain the 



following results :
