Abstract
In a paper which the Royal Society did me the honour to publish in the last volume of its Transactions, I gave the results found from all the thermometrical observations which have been taken at the Apartments of this Society; and I stated that I had made some progress in the connection of this series of results with those deduced from the observations at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. Since that time I have reduced the two series of observations to one and the same series, and I have now the honour to lay the results from their combination before the Society. In my former paper I stated that no observations had been taken between the years 1781 and 1786. Had the particulars of these years been about their average values, their omission would not have materially affected the final results, but on examination I found that those years were distinguished by very severe weather, and that their omission would have a sensible effect; I have therefore supplied these par­ticulars, as detailed below.
