While the Beagle was at Plymouth, in 1831, an excellent marine barometer, made by Jones,
fwith an iron cistern) was sent by water from the maker's hands. This instrument was suspended
in rav cabin, with the cistern at the level of the sea (excepting during the first eight months when
it was placed six feet higher), and by it all the barometrical observations recorded m this table were
'^'in" 1 SSe! wMe'^conveying the same barometer by land from Woolwich to London, it was seriously
injured, and therefore, to give value to its indications while on board the Beagle, I annex some corresponding
observations, made at the Royal Observatory, and at Somerset House.
