N. B. The letter b placed over any figure, fignifies that the 
Mercury was fo many degrees below o. Thus on the 31ft of 
December 1765, you find *>15, >>29, that is, 15 and 29 below 
zero; or 47 and 61 below the treezing point. Again, on the 5th 
of January 1766, the numbers are 25 and b 25, which is 2- 
above, and 25 below o. So that the difference between the 
higheft and loweft degrees of heat on that day, is 50 degrees. 
On the 27th of May (1765), when the Mercury rofe to 85, 
and fell no lower than 58 (the mean of which is 7 \i) at 
Quebec, at a place down the river, called Mont Louis, was a 
heavy ftorm of fnow, which continued the whole day: the 
diftance of thefe places is about 260 miles.
