rence between thefe lafc 8 Years Rain at Paris and Vp* 
mhtfler^ than I found in the 8 Years, in which I former- 
ly compared the Rain of Towmley^ Paris, Lijle, and Up- 
ntltjjier together, in Philof. Tranf. N. 297. For by that 
comparifon it appeared, that lefs Rain fell at Upmwjler, 
, than at either of the other three Places* But according to 
thefe later 8 Years in the Table, a fmall matter more fal- 
leth at ZJpmwfier than at Paris, For the mean Proporti- 
- on for Paris fwhich accordingto former Years was above 
Qo Inches Paris meafure, or 22 Inches Englijh') is accord- 
ing to thefe laft 8 Years nomoie than 17 Inches, 9 Lines, 
i Paris- meafure, or 19 Inches Eftglijh: AndZJpmwJier-Kain, 
which I formerly computed at. Year for Year, about 20 
Inches and an half EngUJh, is for thefe 8 Years much the 
V fame, or a little more than that at Paris, 
The Proportions therefore which I (hall now lay down 
for the yearly Rain of all Places, whofe Rain I have had 
" Information of, are thefe 5 ior Zurkh (till farther Ob- 
^fervations are made) 52 t Inches 5 for Pifa (till farther

for Life^^ 4 Inches ^ for Towneley in Lancafhire 42 | Inches 3 
for ‘Dpminjier 19 * Inches 3 all the fame, that is Englifj-

? Tables is, The great ufe of Cold to the making of Rain. 
That Exhalations and Vapours are the matter of Rain, is 
- not to be doubted. And how they are raifed, whether 
according to the learned and ingenious Dr. Woodmrd\ 
or any other Hypothelis, I (hall not enquire. It is fuffi- 
. cient for my prefent purpofe to fay, That when thofe 
Vapours are raifed, they are conftipated and condenfed 
into Clouds and Rain, chiefly by the Cold of the Air to 
which they are elevated* And the greater the quantity 
of Vapours raifed is, and withal the more intenfe the 
' Cold of thofe airy Regions, the greater is the quantity 
of
