This instrument was suspended in my 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 in this table were taken or corrected. In 1836, while conveying the same barometer by land fiom Woolwich to London, it was seriously injured, and therefore, to give value to its indications while on board the Beagle, I annex some cor- responding observations, made at the Royal Observatory, and at Somerset House.
