7 p. in. the thermometer flood at 40, in the open 
air, in the fea at the furface at 37 ; and at the bot- 
tom in 80 fathoms depth, at 39. 
June 29th in the afternoon, between the ifland of 
Maggeroe and the main land of Lapland, in lat. 
70° 54', the thermometer flood in the open air at 
47 in the fea, at the furface at 44, and in 98 fathoms 
water, at the ground at 40. 
July 7th at fea, about 6 leagues diftance from the 
ifland of Tromfound, in the lat. of 70° 45', the 
thermometer in die open air at 46, in the fea at 
the furface 46, and at the bottom 70 fathoms deep 
44. 
July 8-th, in lat. 6S® 43', at the diflance of 12 or 
14 leagues from the ifland of Lofoot, in the province 
of Norland, the thermometer flood in the open air 
at 46, in the fea at the furface 47, 260 fathoms 
below the furface, but not at the bottom, at 52 : and 
100 fathoms below the furface at 46. 
July 9th, in lat. 65° 25^ the thermometer in the 
open air at 48, in the fea at the furface 48 — 210 
fathoms deep upon the ground at 48:. and 100 
fathoms below the furface at 46. N. B. The fhip 
was then by reckoning about 20 or 25 leagues from 
the neareft part of Norway. 
July 10th, in lat. 64° 40', about 30 leagues from 
the coaft of Norway, the thermometer in the open 
air, and in the fea at the furface at 52, at the ground 
in 1 41 fathom water, at 46 and 75 fathoms below 
the furface at 45. 
The foregoing thermometrical experiments, made 
in deep water, were effeded by means of a tin 
cyiiader, containing a large quart, with an apparatus 
therein.
