( 33 ? ) 
By this Table, efpecially by the Upfale Obferva- 
tions, it appears, that the colder Months in this Year 
1716, were not fo exceffively cold, as their Nor- 
therly Situation would incline one to imagine, Up- 
fale itfelf being 60 Degrees North. But by the 
Table, fome of the Days in January, February and 
March , 6cc. at the beginning of the Year ; and of 
September, Oclober, November and December , at 
the latter end of it, may be obferved to have had 
the Thermometer fometimes not fo low, or very lit- 
tle below the Freezing Point. In January and 
December, for Inftance, when it was at 67.7, which 
was lower than in the other Months, it was not 3 
Degrees lower than the Freezing Point , at 6y De- 
grees. 
But by the belt Judgment I could make of the 
Berlin Thermometrical Obfervations, they feetn to 
have had no lefs, if not more fevere Weather, than in 
the Northern Parts, particularly than at Lunden,Up- 
fale and Pithea , where the Weather feems to have 
been milder than at Betna and Bygdea \ at which 
two Places, I find they had frequently Showers and 
Storms of Snow, and more hard Weather than at the 
other Swedijh Places, or Berlin. 
What the Caufe of this different Warmth fhould 
be, I leave others to judge, whether the Proximity of 
the Sea, or the Warmth of mineral Vapours, and 
the Guard of their Woods fkreening off the cold Winds 
(which two latter I remember 01 . Magnus afcribes 
much unto.) 
But for the better judging of the State of every 
Month, be pleafed to take this View, which the curi- - 
ous Author of the Betna Obfervations hath given, to-
