The Instrument with which the foregoing Observations are made, 

 are placed in the Western verandah of the Honourable Company's 

 Observatory, at about 5 feet above the surface of the ground, and 27 

 feet above the level of the Sea ; the Thermometer was made on purpose 

 for the Observatory, and at 75° (the only point at which a comparison 

 has been made) it was found to differ insensibly from the Royal Socie- 

 ty's Standard ;— the Barometer is one of two Standards which I have 

 lately constructed, and may be depended upon to 0,01 of an inch.
