Description

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Refers to work of Hector Munro Macdonald, whom the author has missed from their list of previous researchers. Criticises the author's use of curvilinear co-ordinates, and use of the term 'Fourier's series'. The diagrams should be redrawn so the positive axis is towards the right. Refers to work of Horace Lamb.
