a fet of correfponding obfervations ; among which are thcfe 
you were fo obliging as to take for me at Chiflehurft * ; others 
at the fame time were taken in my garden, and on the Cathe- 
dral Tower; and others on the fea-fhore, about feven miles 
N.N.W. from Canterbury, where the thermometer was fuf- 
pended about 40 feet above high-water mark, 14 from the 
ground, and about 100 yards from the feaf. 
By Tab. VI. it appears, that every night, one only ex- 
cepted, during that time, the air was coldeff at Chiflehurft ; 
and that the mean heat at the fea-fhore was equal to that on 
the tower at Canterbury. In the month of June (Tab. VII.) 
it is remarkable, that the cold was flill greater in the night at 
Chiflehurff than at any of the other places, excepting where 
there appeared two currents of wind, the upper current 
from the S.YV. and the lower from the N.E. ; at which time 
alfo there was the greatefl difference between the thermometer 
in the garden and that on the tower. 
Tab. VIII. contains obfervations taken only at particular 
times, when the weather was extremely cold ; and (hews how 
nearly at fuch times the temperature in the night, at the fea- 
fhore, generally agreed with that on the Cathedral Tower ;
