(g) Mr. banks, affifted by other gentlemen, meafured very accurately with 
a line the height of the ball of St. Paul’s above the floor of the church, which 
was found to agree, exceedingly near, with that taken from the engraved fefllort 
of the building. The diffance of the ball from the dining-room of the Spa- 
niard, was found by a bafe meafured on Hampflead-heath ; and their relative 
heights by the angle of depreffion of the ball, taken with the agronomical qua- 
drant from the faid dining-room. The heights of Paul’s- flairs and Scotland- 
yard wharf, with refpedl to each other, were found by meafuring from them 
feverally to the furface of high water in the Thames. And the relative heights 
of the church-yard and floor of the church with refpedl to the Labs, and ■ of 
Pulteney-flreet with regard to the wharf, were obtained by levelling to them 
refpe&ively.

meafured in the meadows from the Warren eaftward. Lord mulgrave, Mr. . 
banks, and Dr. solander, aflifled in the geometrical operations; as did
