( i88o ; 
Towneky and ZJpmwfier ( ijiz. from ^696 to 17C4. ) I 
^nd that all the 8 years Rmn at TowneL^y amounteih to 
bove 1700 /. Troj^ at Vprnuijier 825 /. only, Vv hich 
faid fumms being divided by 8, give 212/. rj one year 
with another, at Towmky^ and near 103/. at TJpmh;jter. 
Each of which fumms being doubled, and making a De- 
cimal Fraftion o\ the laft Figure, doth nearly give the 
number of inches, which all the Rain would have rifen 
to, if the Earth had not fwallovved it up, viz, 42 I inches 
-dLtTowneley, and about 20 i inches at Upntmjter, Where- 
fore the Rain at TJpf^/ij^jicr is lefs than at Paris, at Paris 
than -^t Lfjh^ and at every one of the places lefs than at 
Towmky by much. The reafon of which vaft furmount 
dtt ToTvndcyy n doubtlefs from the heightofthe Hills there- 
abouts, which retard or ftop the Wefterly Clouds : From 
which Point the Winds blow more than any other here in 
Erjglancl. But 
2. Notwithftanding the great difproportion of Rain 
between one place and another, yet there is a great 
agreement between our Barometers 3 one Rifing or Fal- 
ling when the other doth ; and that much, or little, as 
the other doth, although not always exaftly in the fame 
proportion. 
And this is what I find Monfieur Maroldi hath obferved, 
by comparing his Obfcrvations at Paris with mine at Dp- 
minfier^ in the years 1697 and 1698. Only at Paris the 
5 is commonly q or 4 lines lower than at TJpmnJier. 
And fo it appears to he at Towneley^ from this and fome 
other Tables, vi%^ 3 or 4 tenths of an inch lower at 
Towneley than at Upminflerr Which is an argument that 
Towneley and Paris are fituated higher above the lurface 
of the Sea than Vpmlnfler (which is nearly in the fame 
level with Londort) is. 
3. Another thing (hewn by the foregoing Table> is , 
That there is fome agreement between the Winds at 
Towneley and Vpmnjlcr. Which although not always 
exadj-ly
