The attached thermometer is let into the moveable brass cylinder connected 
with the vernier and encasing the outside of the glass tube. 
The immersed thermometer is secured within the tube of the barometer, a 
few feet below the general surface of the column of the water. 
The subjacent thermometer, by Newman, was placed immediately under the 
cistern of the barometer, and, its variations being found so very inconsiderable, 
it was registered only at intervals of four or five hours during the day, and the 
series completed for each hour by interpolation.
