there be feme, and that a pretty deal of asjreeihent be- 
tween the riling and falling of our Barometers, one be- 
ing very often high or low, when the other is fo 5 and 
one oftentimes riling or falling when the other doth fo^ 
and one riling much or little, or falling much or little 
when the other doth : I fay although the matter is of- 
ten thus, yet it is not fo certainly fo, as it is nearer 
home. In our Philof. Tranf. N. 286. I have given a 
Table of fome Heights of the Mercury oblerved at 
mnfier, and at 200 Miles diftance in Lancajhire at the 
fame time. And in the Hiji, de I' Acad, Roy, dcs Scien, 
Anno 1699. Monlieur Meraldi, by comparing his Obfer- 
vations at the Paris Ohfervatory with mine at Upmlnfler,^ 
takes notice, “ That there is a great agreement between 
“ the variation of the Heights of the Barometers in both 
Places 5 that he finds almoft always that when 'one ri- 
^ feth or falleth, the other doth fo too, although not 
“ always alike: That the Days in each Month whereon 
“ the Mercury hath been higheft or lowed, it hath been 
the fame at Paris as at Z)pmin(ier^ but ordinarily fome- 
what more than 9 or 4 Lines lower at Paris than Z)p^ 
‘‘ ntinfter.'* But the Agreement between the Variations 
of Dr. Scheuckzers Barometers and mine, although I fay 
often great, yet is not fo conftantly, nor fo certainly 
great as nearer home, viz. at London, Lancajloire, Paris, 
and other places, with which I have made the com- 
parifon.
