Moray_._ In performance of what was promised in the last of these _Papers_ for Observing the _Tides_, here are subjoyned _Patterns_ of the _Tables_ there mentioned; _One_, for marking the _precise Time_ of the High waters and Low-waters during one Month; that is, between _New_ and _New_ Moon, or _Full_ and _Full_ Moon. The _other_, for marking the _Degrees_ of the Risings and Fallings of the Water in _Equal_ spaces of Time, and the _Velocity_ of its motion at _several_ heights: The _Degrees_ of _Heat_ and _Cold, &c._ The _Times_, assigned in the _first_, to the High waters and Lowest Ebbs, are taken out of Mr. _Wing_'s Almanack, for this present year 1666, as he calculates them for the Month of _September_ for _London Bridge_. Only, whereas he takes notice but of _one_ High-water for every day, _Here_ are set {312} down the Times of the other, and the two Ebbs intervening, by subdividing the _Differences_, he assignes between two Tides, equally amongst them. In all which, though there may be Errors, that is not to be considered, seeing the Dissein is to Correct and State the _Times_ of the _Tides exactly_ by _Experiments_, after this method. Mr. _Wing_ states the High waters to fall out at _London-Bridge_ constantly, when the Moon is 46. deg. 30. min. to the _West-ward_ of the _Meridian_. For the Times, he marks for them, are made up by adding every day 3. hours, 6 minutes, to those in his _Table_ for knowing the Time of the Moons coming to the South.
