The above Journal was kept, like the former 

 one, with great care. The thermometer was of 

 Fahrenheit's construction ; the barometer a marine 

 one, said to be the same which was round the 

 world with the great circumnavigator Captain 

 Cook. On account of the manner of suspension, 

 (in gimbles), and the contraction in the tube, in the 

 greatest storms the height of the mercury may be 

 ascertained to ^-th of an inch, and in moderate 

 weather to -^4-th or ~--th part of an inch. 



According 0 to this Journal, in the month of May 

 1808, between the latitudes of 76* 17' and 78 0 36' 

 North, the medium height of the barometer, ob- 

 served always at noon, was 29.81 inches, and of 

 Fahrenheit's thermometer, The most pre- 



vailing winds, during the whole season, in Green- 

 land, were between the North and East quarters.
