iu i66g, And F/fj? > to the and 4th Experiments I propofe rhis Inquiry 5 At what 
I'eafon of the yearjMonthsdayjand in wha£ wind and wcathtrj Branches and young Trees 
( grpeelaily fmall Branches jare fo full of i'apjthatjbeing held perpcndicuiarjthey will bleed 
tt both cods J as is there related 1 and Roocsjboth wayes ? And what gage the Barome* 
ten and Therraomeeers then held ? And In what forwardnefs theit Buds and Ltavesg or 
Chats were then fhot, or broken f And of what Diameter fuch Roots were i 
The latter part of the 4 th Experiment ^ipp^<irl»^fo manifeftiy to difagree with fojue 
Experlmenti ^ I ha?e made ghis Year? ss well as formerly . in Roots and Branches of Treesi 
whereby I found^that not onfy Gold weather, but Cold Wind and Sua- fetting (lopped or 
abated the Motion of Sap in the Sycamore i Which pu^leth me.3 how todire^Jt an Inqui- 
ry to find out the Caufe of this lingular Experiment > aad of the Obferyations alfo in the 
nth Experiment 9 which highly confirms this. The bell diredions I can at prefent de- 
mkif untiil the Esperimenteri fliall pleale to give us an accompt of the TImejSeafonjand 
dig? Ret only by the Months day» hourj bat alfo by the windjand the motions of the wea« 
ihcr-glarsj bcfofes after, and ae th« Inftant of thofe Obfervauons j ) are the enfuingj which 
we ftiall conclude with fome other inquities, 
I. What the dICerenc© of the Seafons of thst Experiment was from the foregoing? z 
Whether the Heatwerg fo great j when the Sycamores fo fenfibly abated, that itcoa- 
|ulat«d their Juyce^and^ by ihlckning it into Jelly and f© into Woodj ended the running i 
Andthmfore|, Wheiher this Experlmentof Cold, promoting j and of Heat, ftop- 
ping the bleeding , were not in the later end of their running on!y,and not in the former? 
Analffoj Whether 43 the rlfiiig of Sap be not rather to be attributed to the P^^r^e of 
teatithgnthe Abmrnmioi Heat ^ f. Whetkr the feafoaj that the Birch increafed » 
when tlie Syemore abated^ be not alfo to be imputed to thissthat the Birch runs notordina*
