Description

Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. It contains valuable contributions to their knowledge of an exceedingly interesting and difficult subject. Some of the curves could be placed on the same plate. In general notes the author may perhaps create some prejudice against his work by his not always distinguishing between what is novel in his results and what has been lately proved by others. Provides an example of this. This could easily be remedied by a few more references and by the insertion of a line or two in the text.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1904].

Endorsed on verso as received 23 April 1903.
