  By 
  referring 
  to 
  the 
  Tables 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  seen 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  regular 
  

   progression 
  as 
  we 
  pass 
  from 
  one 
  order 
  to

  The 
  progression 
  is 
  complete 
  in 
  the 
  carbonic 
  acid, 
  although 
  there 
  are 
  

   slight 
  retrogressions 
  in 
  the 
  temperature 
  and

  the

  complete

  Adopting 
  four 
  

   orders, 
  then, 
  we 
  shall 
  find 
  the 
  regularity 
  of 
  progression 
  sufficiently 
  note- 
  

   worthy

  the

  of

   It 
  is 
  less

  in 
  the

  as 
  might 
  indeed 
  be 
  expected, 
  from 
  

   the 
  varying 
  condition
