The observations here recorded were intended to bridge over in some degree the gap between the very low pressures (below 1·5 mm.) dealt with in a recent paper and pressures approaching the atmospheric for which the usual mercury column and cathetometer method is adequate. The principal novelty consists in the use of two similar manometric gauges. Pressures in the ratio of 1 : 2 are obtained by the use first of a single gauge and secondly of the two gauges connected in series.
