“ What may be the caufe of this difference I will not take it 
“ upon me to fay ; I am inclined however to believe, that it has 
“ its origin in the power, more or lefs confiderable, which our 
“ atmofphere poffeffes of refradting the rays of light; at 1'eaft we 
“ cannot attribute it entirely to an error of the inflrument, fince 
“ an inequality of 2' 5" is altogether impoffible in fo fmall an angle 
“ as 5' q" (See H at Avafaxa), the more fo that in the angle C 
“ at Kakamavara, which is nearly of the fame quantity, the dif- 
“ ference is only O' 3l". On the contrary, it appears, from the 
“ theory of refradlion, that thefe angles ought not to appear the 
“ fame at different heights of the thermometer or barometer.” 
Such are Mr. Swamberg’s remarks on that important fubjedf, 
which I hope the reader will not blame me for inferting in the 
courfe of thefe travels. I fhall now proceed with the account of 
my journey.
