W. W. † Heard a very uncommon sound, seeming to be within the factory; and near as I can liken it, it was the same as firing a small carriage gun; the factory people say it is very frequent in cold weather, and they imagine it to be the beams of the house, as the same is heard on board the ship. N. B. On 14th, at 4 h. I, for the first time, had a fire in the observatory. J. D.

The thermometer A was within the lower observatory, on the south-east side, close to the barometer; and its ball was exactly the same height with the mercury in the basin thereof. The thermometer marked B was without doors, on the north side of the observatory. The signs + and — which are annexed to the altitudes of the two thermometers signify, that they stood so many degrees above or below the cypher respectively. Both the thermometers are according to Fahrenheit's scale. W. W.
