at different Degrees of Beat. 269 
Bladh, in the Memoirs of the Academy of Stockholm for the 
year 1776, whofe determinations, as far as they reached, agreed 
very nearly with mine. The water I nfed was common water 
well boiled and filtered. The experiments were for the moft 
part three times repeated, and the difference in each trial 
amounted to a very few grains.

Hence we fee, that a cubic foot of water weighs 485,3 grains / wyi? f 
more at 42 0 than at 62°, and confequently is equal to 1001,109 ^ 
avoirdupois ounces, and in the temperature of 82^ it weighs lefs 
than at 62° by 788,5 grains, and therefore is equal to 998,1 98^ yy#' r^y//~r 
ounces. At the boiling point it wants 16589 grains, or 37,9 1 5 ^ 3 J 9 / $/ / J 
ounces of the, weight it poffefles at 62% and confequently 
weighs but 962,085 ounces, &c.
