Thefe Tables give an ealy View of the Barome- 
ter and Thermometer in the feveral didant Parts of 
the World fpecified : which would have been very 
inftru&ive, had they been obferved throughout the 
Year, as they were at Naples. 
By the Barometrical Obfervations it appears, 
that the Afcent and Defcent of the Quickfilver is 
not fo great at Naples as in the more Northerly 
Climes : For it was but twice in the whole Year, 
above 30 Inches; and but thrice as low as 29 . iz 
Inches. And fo in Thilof. TranfaEl. N° 321. I 
obferved, that, at Zurich the Range is but 
about an Inch ; but at 'Vpminfter I find the highed 
Afcent to have been 30.44 Inches; and the lowed 
Defcent 27.44 Inches, which is a Range of xj In- 
ches : And by my Account of the Betersburgh Ob* 
fervations in 1724, it appears that the Mercurial 
Range there is 3.31 Inches, in Bhilofi Tranfatt. 
N° 424./, 107. And as for Norway , the Obfer- 
vations are tjo few, and all made only in the Sum- 
mer Months, whereby no good Judgment could be 
made: And Bengal had no Barometer . 
By the Thermometrical Table we may judge of 
the Heat and Cold of the feveral Places. For the 
right underdanding of which, I mud repeat what 
I faid in a former Abridgment, viz. That in 
Mr. Haukesbees Thermometers, the Point of Ex * 
tream Heat is 5 Degrees above o ; that 45* Degrees 
below o, is the Point of Temperate-, and 65 De- 
grees, the Point of Freezing , But Dr. Cyril ( vide 
BhiLTranfaff.FP 4 29.^. 336.) faith it freezes with 
them at Naples when the Spirits are only got to ^De- 
grees. His Words deferve Confideration : lllud ve-
