That inthis way gas may be measured with great accuracy, may bedemonstrated by transferring any number of measures, taken 78 General Refiections on Heat. separately, into the serai-oval receiver, and subsequently re-measuring them. The Eudiometers (figs. 6 and 7 ), with the accompanyingsemi oval glass vessel, (fig. !3.) may be employed with thed
