it may from the foregoing Table be perceived, that' 
the Froft kept a pretty equal Pace in both Places at its 
beginning. And my Notes give me reafon to think ic' 
did the fame the greateft part of its duration : But I can-* 
not be very fure thereof, my old Thermometer (the on-- 
ly one I then had) happening to be unfortunately 
broken on January 1 1 . For which reafon I- am unable 
to give fuch amother Thermometrical Table of his next: 
Period as - 1 have done in rhis. 
This third Period' he makes to end ^ 5 ^ 
with a Wefterly Wind, and a Thaw, which held for 
few Days. With us the Wind was Southerly at the fame 
time, and: a Thaw accompanying it for -a- few Days* 
likewife. 
The fourth Period he begins January

which I obferve there is a great Agreement between out’^ 
Obfervations-as tG the Cold 5^ and thofe Days on which >
