From this Table he obferves, that the Februaries 
were the dried Months, and 1726, the dried Tear 
in all the Six , and that the Octobers were the wet* 
teft Months , and 1728 the 'wettejt of all the fix 
Years. 
Further alfo he faith, that in the four Seafons 
of the Years (reckoning their beginning from the 10th 
Day of their refpeftive Months, vix. of December , 
March , June and September \ that I fay) lefs Wet 
falls in Winter and Spring, than in Summer and 
Autumn, and that the wet Weather increafes, as the 
Seafons advance ; that in Winter is the lead Wet 
that it increafeth in Spring j is more in Summer 5 and 
mod of all in Autumn. 
For the Proof of this, he hath made a Table of 
the mean Quantities of the Rain in the four Seafons 
of each of the fix Years 5/ the Sums of which fix 
Years Rain, are in Winter, 39.490 Inches ; in Spring,, 
52.188 Inches 5 in Summer, 58.25 Inches; and in the 
Autumn, 74.558 Inches, But in the many Years 
that I obferved the Weather at Upminfter , I find it 
not fo. 
After thefe Obfervations of the Weather, the il- 
ludrious Marquifs proceeds to the Barometrical 
Indications of it ; and hath made Tables of the Ri- 
ling and Falling of the Quickfilver, together with the 
Goad of the Winds, both againd Rain, and alfo a- 
gaind Snow, hoping to predift from thence the feveral 
forts of Weather. But I omit the Tables, becaufe I 
think little of general ufe can be concluded from them 
but what is commonly known. 
I omit alfo his Table * of the Sum and Mean Alti- 
tudes of the Barometer, and Thermometer 5 but his 
following Table may be of ufe. A T a*
