Although the differences in time, in the above Table, in the 

 shade and in sunshine, are somewhat small, and might not be 

 considered, upon an insulated series of experiments, of great im- 

 portance ; yet the constancy of the result, on repeating the expe- 

 riments for many successive days, together with the general 

 agreement with the phenomena in Table II, and the great suscep- 

 tibility of the bar in indicating such differences when oscillat- 

 ing in a void and in small arcs, are considerations which claim 

 for these researches some degree of confidence. 



36. With a view of examining, in some measure, the accu- 

 racy of the preceding deductions, I resorted to the following ex- 

 periments : — 



(e) A bar of copper, of the same dimensions as the magnetic 

 bar above described, was made to vibrate under a closed receiver 

 in air and in a void, and the vibrations, arcs, and times noted, as 

 before (Table II), both in the sunshine and in the shade : the vi-
