certain of the true Proportion between the Tnjcan-^nd 
Efigliff} weight, I have therefore giv*en Dr. M. A. D/iPs 
B.ain, both in the Tnfcan Pounds and Ounces as he lent 
it me ^ as alforeduced to our Engit[l} Jroy pound ana Cen- 
tefimals of that Pound, according to Mr. Greav'a's pro- 
portion, which is different from that affigned by Sir Jo- 
f/as M( or. 
As to Dn SchemhzeAs other Obfervations of the Winds, 
the Weather, the Thermometer, and divers other very 
curious and remarltable Matters, I have not inferred them 
into particular Tables, becaufe thefe following general 
' Remarks may in fome meafure fupply that defedt. 
L For the Tber^mmier. It would have been in vain 
to have compared his Obfervations with mine, by reafon 
we have not yet a Standard for Thermometers, as we 
have for the barometers ^ they being every where in all, 
or moft refpeds different^ fome with large, fome with 
fmall Bottles of Spirits 5 fome accordingly with longer, 
fome with {hotter 5 fome with wider, fome with narrow- 
er Canes,, or Shanks 5 fome filled with more highly refti- 
fy’’d, and confequcncly more e^panfive Spirits, fome with 
more phlegmatick and duller Spirits. 
The difference particularly between Dr. Schenchx^erh ‘ 
and my Thermometer is, his isabour one Foot long 5 that. 
I obferved with ail along (till it was broken this Year j 
about two Feet and a half ^ and that I now obfevve with, 
three Feet and a quarter 5 the boreof the Stalk is fmali, and 
the Ball is large, and confequently th- Rang great, nnfwcr- 
ing every the leaft alteration of Heat and Co!d= 
l 5 uty: t thus much 1 have been able to obferve by com- 
paring Dr. Sebeuebzers and my Thermometrical OlTerva- 
tions, viz. That notwithftanding the Alpif^e Sfwrvs have 
mighty Effeds on the Weather in SmtzerU/?d, and othci 
conterminoKS Places, yet there is much more agreement 
between the Heats and Cold at Ztiyu-h and ,
