( 1*7 ) 
which Inftruments was to be gotten in New-England. 
Could we have had thofe Obfervations, they would 
have been of great ufe in feveral Phenomena of thofe 
diftant Places, which now I can only guefs at : 
And, 
I. I guefs, that notwithftanding Harvard-College 
is ten Degrees more South than Upminfier (it being, 
as Mr. Robie fays, in Lat. 42 Deg. 25' North, and

unufual Meteors , fhimder and Lightening than 
we have.
