taking it in my Hand, I found it was very cold, nor 
had it the lead Motion that I could difcover ; how- 
ever, keeping of it clofe between my Hands, which 
were pretty warm, in about a Minute I felt a fmall 
Palpitation, which prefently increafed to a dronger 
Pulfe, till in about fix or feven Minutes the Bird 
was redored to a perfed and uninterrupted Refpi- 
ration. About half an Hour after this, we again 
put the Bird into the Damp^ and continued it there 
about five Minutes, after which we found it pad Re- 
covery. 
I repeated feveral of the Experiments re- 
lating to Lights and Flame, which fucceeded with 
very little, if any Alteration, as before ; which we 
looked upon as an undoubted Confirmation of the 
Continuance of the Damp. Whereupon we pro- 
ceeded ; fird, to examine the Eladicity of the Air 
in the Well, by letting down a fmall Bell, the Sound 
of which was as didind and loud, as in any ordi- 
nary Well of the fame Depth. 
Then to difcover the Degree of Moidure, wetook.a 
large Spunge a little wet, which with the Stlh Strings 
whereby we let it down, weight X78 Grains.' 
This being fufpended in the Damp^ upwards of five 
Minutes, and then raifed, was carefully weigh’d, and 
found to be of the fame Weight precifely. After 
this we dried the Spungey which then weigh’d but 
i6i Grains, and having applied it to the Damp for 
the Space of ten Minutes, we found alfo, that it had 
not gained , the lead Part that could be perceived 
in its Weight. Alfo, a large Bundle of Cat-^
