years’ observations which it was originally proposed to execute; 
the gauges have now been removed, and the experiments are 
ended. A condensed view of the conclusions which seem fairly 
derivable from them may be useful, as a preliminary to the ma¬ 
thematical investigations and further experimental researches 
which the subject appears to demand. 
No sooner was the first series of results tabulated, than they 
were easily seen to be principally dependent on two ascertainable
