The higheft obferved this year was at 
84° on Auguft 30, 4h. P.M. I think it 
would not be uninterefting to many of 
your readers if fome of your Meteorolo- 
gical Correfpondents would give a Table 
of the average ftate of the barometer, 
‘thermometer, &c. for every day in the 
month for thefe laft ten years, with a lift of 
the higheft and loweft points for every day 
of the fame pericd. 
4 I would freely undertake todo it, but 
: have not time. It may be worth obferv- 
ing, that the fame quantity of rain has 
fallen in this place during the lah fix 
months of 1804 as in the fame months of 
‘ 3803, and that the whole rain of this year 
2 does mot exceed the average of the laft five 
years more than half an inch.

my affent to the remark upon the Pocula 
. Acheloia, Georg. I. v..9. The fubftitu- 
tion of the water of Acnelous for water

With refpeét to. the Achzlous I have 
nothing more to add, but that Dawes 
(wide Mifcel. Critica, p. 176) was preci- 
pitate in affirming that the name of this 
river could not be written AycaAwios. ‘The 
evidence of Apollonius Rhodius on this 
point is fatisfactory. L. IV. v.293 :

hit two, Greek pide 0S, quis

uted by fome of the mott celebrated poets 
of ancient Greece fometimes reciprocally 
for each other. I do not know that this 
circumftance has heen an ima dverted upon 
by others; I hall tigrefore iluf@rate my 
meaning by aPproppiste examples. In

The lax concordance of odlis,: ufed 
here merely as a relative with its antece- — 
dent, is alfo deferving of notice. ‘It re-
