Date: 28 July 1902

Description
Sectional Committee: Mathematics
Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions, in full. He has no modifications to suggest and thinks all the illustrations should be reproduced. The paper is an important contribution to a very difficult subject. It is the outcome of a concentrated effort by Professor Darwin and Monsieur Poincaré to attain to fuller knowledge of the problem of stability of rotating masses of liquids.
[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1901].
