(m) From this comparifon with Mr. Messier’s obfervations at Paris, which 
makes the Lake of Geneva only 1168 feet above the level of the fea (whereas 
from 18 obfervations in Italy, near the fhore of the Mediterranean, it appears 
to be 1228, viz* -f 60 feet different) I am inclined to believe, that Mr. Mes- 
sier’s place of obfervation is about 50 feet higher than I have fuppofed it, viz* 
160 feet above the fea indead of 108, as deduced from three obfervations only at 
Boulogne, Calais, and at Dover. If this be allowed,, the fame number of feet 
mull be added alfo to all the other heights that are determined by comparifon 
with Mr. Messier’s obfervations. I am,, however, by no means fure of this, 
but leave it to future obfervers. 
(n) On one fide of this mountain is a little dream called Aman^on, that 
joins the Yonne and the Seine, and thusgoe^to the Atlantic; while on the 
other lide is found the Ouche, which, uniting with the Saone and the Rhone, 
Tuns to the Mediterranean; this part of Burgundy then feems to be one of 
the higheft, in France.
