XXI. Observations on the temperature of the ocean and atmosphere, and on the density of sea-water, made during a voyage to Ceylon. In a letter to Sir Humphry Davy, LL.D. F. R. S. By John Davy, M.D. F. R. S

Abstract
According to the promise contained in a former letter, I proceed to give you a short account of the observations which I made during my late voyage from England to Ceylon. At present, I shall confine myself chiefly to three topics, the specific gravity of the water of the ocean, and its temperature, and the temperature of the atmosphere; subjects of some importance in the natural history of our globe; and in which, I know, you are interested. Incidentally I shall notice the height of the barometer, the direction of the winds, and the state of the weather. For the sake of brevity, I shall present the principal results of my observations in the form of a table, to which I shall add some explanatory notes and general remarks.
