The Instruments with which the foregoing observations are made, are 

 placed in the Western Verandah of the Honourable Company's Obser- 

 vatory ; 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 diiFer insensibly from the Royal Society's 

 Standard; the barometer is one of two Standards which I have lately 

 constructed, and may be depended upon to 0,0100 an inch.
