The barometer and thermometer ufed 
in keeping this Journaiwere made by Mefirs. 
Jones; Holborn, London. The barome- 
ter is of the Torricellian conftruétion ; its 
fcale is not full inches, but fomething 
lefs, owing to the rifing and falling of the 
furtace of the refervoir; the nonius moves 
by a key placed in the front of the baro- 
meter, and it has a floating gauge for the 
purpofe of adjufting it to its proper 
height. The thermometer is divided into 
halt degrees, and is properly graduated. 
The times of regiftering were eight 
o’clock in the morning, one at noon, and 
ten at nicht, in the winter months; and 
half paft feven, half patt one, and half patt 
ten, in fummer. My rain-gauge is a fin- 
veffel ; the trunk is to the funnel as nine 
to one, and has a floating index to afcer- 
fain the quantity. The latitude ard lon- 
gitude of Carlifle, and its height above 
the level of the fea, will be found 
in the Monthly Magazine for May laft.
