with us, a Qiort Account thereof may not be unaccept- 
able. 
The Ingenious Author having complained of the De- 
feds of Meteorology, and Mereorological Inftruments, 
and given fome Diredions concerning obferving the 
Winds, tells us, he had the help of the Obfervati- 
ons of three Eminent Perfons in his Diflertation about the 
Winter, namely, of Dr. Wolfus^ Mathematical Profeffor 
of Hall^ Dr. namber ’ger^ Mathematical and Natural Phi- 
lofophy Profeflbr of the UnivcHity of Jena ^ and of the 
Reverend Mr. Teuker^ an excellent Mathematician at Gza, 
The Winter he diftributes into five Periods. Thefirftof 
which he begins at O^obcr 19. 1708. at which time he 
faith the cold Weather began with them, the Northerly 
Winds then blowing, andfrofty Weather accompanying

For all the latter end of September the Winds were Nor- 
therly, and an Hoar-froft o\\ Michaelmas^ and the fol-

the 23th Day, my' Regifter (hews the Weather to have 
been for the moft part Hoar frofty, or Frofty, very 
agreeably to Mr. Remus’s Obfervations. The end of this 
firft Period he placeth on November 3. the fame with our 
O^ober 23. 0 . S, their Stile i perceive by divers Compa- 
rifoBS, and Hints in his Paper, being the New Style. 
As to his next Period, which with its Interval takes 
in November and December, I find a pretty deal of Agree- 
ment between his Obfervations and mine, the Weather 
' often being Warm, or Cold here, as it was there, and 
the Winds alfo not very different. Only! obferve the 
Cold i« one Place commonly to precede the other. Alfo 
the furious Wind, that he faith blew the Night before 
December 13. was not perceivable here ’till the fecond
