This fpacc I divided into 90 degrees on 
all xh^Thermometers y beginning to number 
from the freezing point. Sixty four of thefe 
degrees is nearly equal to the heat of the 
blood of animals ; which I found by the rule 
given in the Vhilofophical Tranfabiions, VoL 
II./. I. of Mr. Matters Abridgment y viz. by 
placing one of the Thermometers in water 
heated to the greateft degree, that I could 
bear my hand in it, ftirring it about : And 
which I was further aflured of, by placing 
the ball of my Thermometer in the flow- 
ing blood of an expiring Ox. The heat of 
the blood to that of boiling water is as 14 
+ to 33. 
By placing the ball of one of thefe Ther- 
mometers in my bofom, and under an arm- 
pit, I found the external heat of the body 
54 of thefe degrees. The heat of milk, 
as it comes from the Cow, is 55 degrees^ 
which is nearly the fame with that for 
hatching of eggs. The heat of urine 58 
degrees. The common temperate point in 
Thermometers is about 18 degrees.
