For which reafon I have alfo all along noted their Diffe- 
rences. 
It is manifeft from the Tables, That throughout the 
whole Year, the Mercury was lower at Zurich than at 
Upmwfler^ by fomecimes one, fometimes above two In- 
ches The moft remarkable difference was at the 
latter end of September and beginning of O^ohery when 
the difference was for a good while above two Inches 
The reafon of which, I giiefs, was becaufe at 
Zurich I imagine the Air was more enclined to wet, at that 
time, than at Dpmwjier^ as alfo becaufe the Winds then 
were Northerly and Eafterly with us 5 which, *tis well 
known, do make our Barometers rife, even in wet Wea- 
ther. But the mean difference between Dr. Scheu^hzer*s 
and my Barometers, I take to be about half an Inch 
Efiglijh, From whence I conclude. That the Situation of 
Zurich is near a Quarter of an Englipj Mile higher than 
that of Upminjier above the furface of the Sea ^ or elfe 
that that part of the Terraqueous Globe, lying nearer 
the Line, is (according to the received Opinion) higher, 
or farther diftant from the Center, than ours is, lying 
nearer the Pole. 
Farther. It may be obferved from the annexed Baro- 
metrical Tables, That (as near the Equinodial the Ba- 
rometer is obferved to ftand nearly at a (lay, but the more 
Northerly the Latitude, the greater the rang of the 
Mercury, fo) at Zurich the difference (laft Year) was 
not fo great between the higheft and loweft ftations of 
the 5, as it was either at Paris or XJpmwfter. Fora( 
Zurich the difference was only one Inch P^r/V-meafure 
at Paris Dr. Scheuchzer faith it was one Inch two Lines 
and an half 5 but at Dp minjler it was 18 Inch, (ar 
feme Years ’tis more ) which is greater than either 
them. I 
The laft thing which I fhall take notice of relating tci 
our Barometrical Obfervations is, That I obferve although
