Prof. Reynolds’ Paper
The referees have found great difficulty in
following the argument of this paper; partly in consequence
of the fact that such terms as “mean-mean-
motion” and “relative mean motion” are used
without any precise definition. There is a well-
known distinction between molecular and molar
motion; but it is not clear <s>where on physica<\s>
in the case of molar motion how any physical
distinction is to be drawn between what is “mean”
and what is “relative”.
The introduction might be greatly shortened,
as a good deal of it <s>cannot <\s> can only be understood after
reading the rest of the paper. The purpose of
[para]5(a) p. 3 is not evident. The author’s view
does not appear to be different from that generally
held, but it is insisted on as something new.
