paft. Had I had fuch an inftrument, as Mr. Derham 
had, to meafure the hundredth part of an inch, it 
would have increafed the quantity greatly; but I have 
only taken notice of it when it amounted to the tenth 
part of an inch. My inftrument is very fimple and 
plain ; it is a tin vellel about thirteen inches high, 
the aperture at top is four inches and an half fquare, 
the bottom the fame ; the oppofite fides parallel to 
each other. It Hands in my garden, free from the 
drippings of any trees or houfes, and raifed upon a 
pedeftal .about two feet from the ground. You will 
obferve a x in September f i, and September 54. In 
thefe months we had hurricanes. If any thing of 
this kind would be agreeable to you, or the Society, 
I diall take great pleafure in communicating them, 
when in my power. I am, dear brother, 
March 31, 1755. Your affedlionate brother, 
F. Byam.
