As remarked above, if we have y?=ax?—1, then writing y,=2y?+1 and #,=2ey, we obtain y,?=az,?+1. Moreover, for each value of a, in the first line, the first term, which is the integer part of ./a, is separated from the other by a semicolon, and the 1, which is the corresponding first term of the second line, is omitted. The calculations were made by C. H. Bickmore, M.A., of New College, Oxford: his values for « and y have been revised as presently mentioned, but it has been assumed that his values for the periods and subsidiary numbers (forming the first and second lines of each division of the table) are accurate ; in fact, any error therein would cause the resulting values of # and y to be wildly erroneous ; but (except in a single instance which was accounted for) the errors in 2 and 4 y were in every case in a single figure or two or three figures only. The values of « and y were in every case examined by substitution in the equation (y?=az?+1, or y?=az?—1, as the case may be) which should be satisfied by them. These verifications were for the most part made by A. Graham, M.A., of the Observatory, Cambridge. As already mentioned, some errors were detected, and these have been, of course, corrected. The values of fc given in the table thus satisfy i in every case the proper equation y?=aa? +1, or y?=ax?—1; on the ground above referred to it is believed that the ‘periods and subsidiary numbers are also accurate. It may be remarked, in regard to the verification of the equation y’?=aa?+1 for large values of x and y, it is in practice easier and safer to calculate az?+1, and then to compare the square root thereof with the given value of y, than to further calculate the value of y?. 1893.

In connexion with the subject we have a paper, ‘A Table of the Square Roots of Prime Numbers of the form 4m+1 less than 10000 expanded as Periodic Continued Fractions,’ by C. A. Roberts, with Intro- duction and Explanation by Artemas Martin, the ‘Mathematical Magazine,’ vol. ii. (No. 7, for October 1892), pp. 105-120. This extends, in fact, to numbers up to 10501, but only the denominators of the continued frac- tions (that is, the first lines of Degen’s and the present table) are given: thus the entry for 1009 is 31; 1, (3, 3). The paper just referred to notices errors in Degen’s tables for the numbers 853 and 929. For 853 the first line should be 29; 4; 1,5, 1, 2,4, 1, 1, 15, 19, (2, 2) (15 instead of Degen’s 14). For 929 the first and second lines should be 30, alge 9. 8) 2: 7,. 5; (2, 2) 1, 29, 5, 40, 19, 16, 25, 8, 11, (23, 23) The values of a, y in Table I. and those in Table II. (for the solution of y?=ae?—1) are correct for each of the numbers 853 and 929. On the Establishment of a National Physical Laboratory.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor OLIVER J. LODGE (Chairman), Mr. R. T. GLAzEBRooK (Secretary), Lord KELVIN, Lord Rayieicu, Sir H. E. Roscog, Professors J. J. THOMSON, A. W. RicKer, R. B. Cuiirron, G. F. FirzGrraup, G. Carry Foster, J. VirRIAMU JONES, A. SCHUSTER, and W. E. AYRTON. THE Committee hoped to have been able to present a report dealing with the work done at the Reichsanstalt in Berlin and the Bureau Inter- national at Sévres. They have not, however, been able to prepare this report in time for the meeting, and they desire to be reappointed to continue their investigations. The Best Means of Comparing and Reducing Magnetic Observa- tions.—Interim Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor W. Grytts Apams (Chairman and Secretary), Lord KELvin, Professors G. H. Darwin and G. Curystat, Mr. C. H, CarpMart, Professor A. Scuuster, Mr. G. M. Warprie, Captain Creak, THE AstronoMER Roya, Mr. Wituiam Exuis, and Professor A. W. Ricker. Tur Committee have considered and reported to the Admiralty on plans, submitted to them by Mr. Gill, for a Magnetic Observatory at the Cape of Good Hope. In conjunction with Mr. Gill, they have drawn up a scheme embodying their recommendations as to its establishment and maintenance, which has been laid before, and is under the consideration of, the Admiralty. The Committee desire to be reappointed, with the addition of Mr. Charles Chree in the place of the late Mr. G. M. Whipple. ON ELECTRO-OPTICS. 121 On Electro-optics.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Dr. JouNn KERR (Chairman), Mr. R. I’. GLazEBRooK (Secretary), Lord KELvin, and Professor A. W. Ricker. Tur Committee report that Dr. Kerr’s experiments have been continued, and that he hopes shortly to have further results ready for publication. Magnetic Work at the Falmouth Observatory.—Report of the Com- mittee, consisting of Mr. Howarp Fox, Professor A. W. RUCKER, and Professor W. G. ADAMS. Magnetical Observations. [Made at the Falmouth Observatory, latitude 50° 9/0” N. and longitude 5° 4/ 35” W., height 167 feet above mean sea level, for the year 1892, by Edward Kitto, Superintendent. ] Tue results in the following tables, Nos. 1, 2, 3,4, are deduced from the magnetograph curves which have been standardised by observations of deflection and vibration. These were made with the collimator magnet marked 66a, and the declinometer magnet marked 66c in the unifilar magnetometer by Elliott Bros., of London. ‘Table No. 5 is deduced from these observations. The inclination was observed with the inclinometer by Dover, of Charlton, Kent, No. 86, and needles 1 and 2, which are 34 inches in length, the results of which appear in Table No. 6. The declination and horizontal force values given in Tables 1 to 4 are prepared in accordance with the suggestions made in the fifth report of the Committee of the British Association on Comparing and Reducing Magnetic Observations. The following is a list of the days during the year 1892 which were selected by the Astronomer Royal as suitable for the determination of the magnetic diurnal variations, and which have been employed in the preparation of the magnetic tables :— January . =, -2,' “Oy 20;-22530 February ee Oy he, lege March . 10, 14, 17, 18, 28 April eo Gnd, 20, 22 May . 12, 13, 15, 23, 26 June ae oer et LAs 5 July Sos On 1S) 20)28 August . oe 4s 15, 19,30 September . 4, 5, 9, 12, 25 October . . 9,17, 23, 26, 28 November 8, LI, 12,.16;27 December 3, 9, 18, 26,27 122 REPORT—1893.

After consideration the Board of Trade Committee drew up an amended report, in harmony with the Edinburgh resolutions, for presentation to the President (see Appendix I.). The resolutions were accepted at Edinburgh by Dr. von Helmholtz on behalf of Germany, while in France an official committee decided last June to adhere to the propositions of the Board of Trade. Austria and Italy are connected by treaty with Germany for telegraph purposes, and in consequence adopt the same units. The Committee have learnt with pleasure from Mr. W. H. Preece, one of the English delegates to the International Congress of Electricians at Chicago, that the Congress has accepted a series of resolutions defining the fundamental units practically identical with the Hdinburgh resolu- tions. Thus these resolutions have now been accepted as a basis for legisla- tion throughout the British Empire, the whole of Western Europe, and the United States of America. The Committee are also informed that the Chicago Congress have adopted the name ‘ Henry’ for the unit of self-induction ; while looking with favour on this suggestion, they think it desirable to postpone definite action until the official report of the Congress has been received. In March last M. Mascart wrote to the Secretary asking the opinion of the Committee as to a name for the standard of resistance defined at Edinburgh. A circular letter was issued inviting members of the Com- mittee to express their views on four names which had been suggested, viz.: ‘International,’ ‘ Normal,’ ‘Etalion,’ or ‘Ohm de 1893.’ After receiving replies to the circular from twelve members of the Committee, the Secretary wrote to Professor Mascart to the effect that the number ON STANDARDS FOR USE IN ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS. 129 of members who expressed a preference for the name ‘ International’ was greater than the number declaring in favour of any other name, but that he thought that the Committee would accept whichever of the first three suggestions commended itself to the French Committee appointed to deal with the matter. During the year Dr. Muirhead has remeasured his standard condenser. He now finds as the capacity of a condenser constructed twenty-three years ago to represent ‘1 microfarad (B.A.U.) the value 09998 micro- farad. Tests have been made during the year on the l-ohm and 10-ohm standards of the Association. These are still being continued. The 100-ohm and 1000-ohm standards have now been delivered, and the tests will be shortly proceeded with. Some experiments were made as to the amount of heating in the coils produced by the current used for testing. These are detailed in Appendix II. Further valuable informa- tion on this point is contained in Mr. Griffiths’ paper on ‘ The Value of the Mechanical Equivalent of Heat.’ ! The Committee think it desirable that they should be in a position to complete the set of resistance standards of the Association, and recom- mend, therefore, that they be reappointed, with a grant of 251., that Professor G. Carey Foster be Chairman, and Mr. R. T. Glazebrook Secretary. APPENDIX I. SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT OF THE HLECTRICAL STANDARDS COMMITTEE OF THE Boarp oF TRADE. To the Ricut Hon. A. J. Munpetua, M.P., President of the Board of Trade. Subsequently to the presentation of our former report to Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, in July 1891, we were informed that it was probable that the German Government would shortly take steps to establish legal standards for use in connection with electrical supply, and that, with a view to secure complete agreement between the proposed standards in Germany and England, the Director of the Physico-Technical Imperial Institute at Berlin, Professor von Helmholtz, with certain of his assistants, proposed to visit England for the purpose of making exact comparisons between the units in use in the two countries, and of attending the meet- ing of the British Association which was to take place in August in Edinburgh. Having regard to the importance of this communication it appeared desirable that the Board of Trade should postpone the action recom- mended in our previous report until after Professor Helmholtz’s visit. That visit took place early in August, and there was a very full discussion of the whole subject at the meeting of the British Association in Edinburgh, at which several of our number were present. The meet- ing was also attended by Dr. Guillaume, of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, and Professor Carhart, of the University of Michigan, 1 Phil. Trans., 1893. 1893. K 130 REPORT—1893. U.S.A., who were well qualified by their scientific attainments to represent the opinion of their respective countries. It appeared from the discussion that a few comparatively slight modifications of the resolutions included in our previous report would tend to secure international agreement. An extract from the report of the Electrical Standards Committee of the British Association embodying the results of this discussion was communicated to us by the Secretary, and will be found in the appendix to this report. Having carefully reconsidered the whole question in view of this communication, and having received the report of the sub-committee mentioned in resolution 14 of our previous report, we now desire, for the resolutions contained in that report, to substitute the following :— RESOLUTIONS. 1. That it is desirable that new denominations of standards for the measurement of electricity should be made and approved by her Majesty in Council as Board of Trade standards. 2. That the magnitudes of these standards should be determined on the electro-magnetic system of measurement with reference to the centimetre as unit of length, the gramme as unit of mass, and the second as unit of time, and that by the terms centimetre and gramme are meant the standards of those denominations deposited with the Board of Trade. 3. That the standard of electrical resistance should be denominated the ohm, and should have the value 1,600,000,000 in terms of the centi- metre and second. 4, That the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current by a column of mercury at the temperature of melting ice 14°4521 grammes in mass of a constant cross-sectional area, and of a length of 106°3 centi- metres, may be adopted as 1 ohm. 5. That a material standard, constructed in solid metal, should be adopted as the standard ohm, and should from time to time be verified by comparison with a column of mercury of known dimensions. 6. That, for the purpose of replacing the standard, if lost, destroyed, or damaged, and for ordinary use, a limited number of copies should be constructed, which should be periodically compared with the standard ohm. 7. That resistances constructed in solid metal should be adopted as Board of Trade standards for multiples and sub-multiples of the ohm. 8. That the value of the standard of resistance constructed by a com- mittee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in the’ years 1863 and 1864, and known as the British Association unit, may be taken as ‘9866 of the ohm. 9. That the standard of electrical current should be denominated the ampere, and should have the value one-tenth (0:1) in terms of the centi- metre, gramme, and second. 10. That an unvarying current which, when passed through a solution of nitrate of silver in water, in accordance with the specification attached to this report, deposits silver at the rate of 0:001118 of a gramme per second may be taken as a current of 1 ampere. 11. That an alternating current of 1 ampere shall mean a current ON STANDARDS FOR USE IN ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS. 131 such that the square root of the time average of the square of its strength at each instant in amperes is unity. 12. That instruments constructed on the principle of the balance, in which, by the proper disposition of the conductors, forces of attraction and repulsion are produced, which depend upon the amount of current passing, and are balanced by known weights, should be adopted as the Board of Trade standards for the measurement of current, whether unvarying or alternating. 13. That the standard of electrical pressure should be denominated the volt, being the pressure which, if steadily applied to a conductor whose resistance is 1 ohm, will produce a current of 1 ampere. 14, That the electrical pressure at a temperature of 15° Centigrade between the poles or electrodes of the voltaic cell known as Clark’s cell, prepared in accordance with the specification attached to this report, may be taken as not differing from a pressure of 1-434 volt by more than one part in one thousand. 15. That an alternating pressure of 1 volt shall mean a pressure such that the square root of the time-average of the square of its value at each instant in volts is unity. 16. That instruments constructed on the principle of Lord Kelvin’s quadrant electrometer used idiostatically, and, for high pressures, instru- ments on the principle of the balance, electrostatic forces being balanced against a known weight, should be adopted as Board of Trade standards for the measurement of pressure, whether unvarying or alternating.

SPECIFICATION REFERRED TO IN ReEsoLuTion 10. In the following specification the term silver voltameter means the arrangement of apparatus by means of which an electric current is passed through a solution of nitrate of silver in water. The silver volta- meter measures the total electrical quantity which has passed during the time of the experiment, and by noting this time the time-average of the current, or if the current has been kept constant the current itself, can be deduced. ; In employing the silver voltameter to measure currents of about l ampere the following arrangements should be adopted. The kathode on which the silver is to be deposited should take the form of a platinum bowl not less than 10 centimetres in diameter, and from 4 to 5 centi- metres in depth. The anode should be a plate of pure silver some 30 square centimetres in area and 2 or 3 millimetres in thickness. This is supported horizontally in the liquid near the top of the solu- tion by a platinum wire passed through holes in the plate at opposite corners. To prevent the disintegrated silver which is formed on the kK 2 #32 REPORT—1893. anode from falling on to the kathode the anode should be wrapped round with pure filter-paper, secured at the back with sealing- wax. The liquid should consist of a neutral solution of pure silver nitrate, containing about fifteen parts by weight of the nitrate to eighty-five parts of water. The resistance of the voltameter changes somewhat as the current passes. To prevent these changes having too great an effect on the current some resistance besides that of the voltameter should be inserted in the circuit. The total metallic resistance of the circuit should not be less than 10 ohms. Method of making a Measurement. The platinum bowl is washed with nitric acid and distilled water, dried by heat, and then left to cool in a desiccator. When thoroughly dry it is weighed carefully. It is nearly filled with the solution, and connected to the rest of the circuit by being placed on a clean copper support to which a binding screw is attached. This copper support must be insulated. The anode is then immersed in the solution, so as to be well covered by it and supported in that position; the connections to the rest of the circuit are made. Contact is made at the key, noting the time of contact. The current is allowed to pass for not less than half an hour, and the time at which contact is broken is observed. Care must be taken that the clock used is keeping correct time during this interval. The solution,is now removed from the bowl and the deposit is washed with distilled water and left to soak for at least six hours. It is then rinsed successively with distilled water and absolute alcohol and dried in a hot-air bath at a temperature of about 160° C. After cooling in a desiccator it is weighed again. The gain in weight gives the silver deposited. To find the current in amperes this weight, expressed in grammes, must be divided by the number of seconds during which the current has been passed and by -001118. The result will be the time-average of the current, if during the interval the current has varied. In determining by this method the constant of an instrument the current should be kept as nearly constant as possible, and the readings of the instrument taken at frequent observed intervals of time. These observations give a curve from which the reading corresponding to the mean current (time-average of the current) can be found. The current, as calculated by the voltameter, corresponds to this reading. SPECIFICATION REFERRED TO IN ReEsonurion 14. Definition of the Cell. The cell consists of zinc and mercury in a saturated solution of zine sulphate and mercurous sulphate in water, prepared with mercurous sulphate in excess, and is conveniently contained in a cylindrical glass vessel. ON STANDARDS FOR USE IN ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS. 133 Preparation of the Materials. 1. The Mercury.—To secure purity it should be first treated with acid in the usual manner and subsequently distilled in vacuo. 2. The Zinc.—Take a portion of a rod of pure redistilled zinc, solder to one end a piece of copper wire, clean the whole with glass-paper, carefully removing any loose pieces of the zinc. Just before making up the cell dip the zinc into dilute sulphuric acid, wash with distilled water, and dry with a clean cloth or filter-paper. 3. The Zine Sulphate Solution.—Prepare a saturated solution of pure (‘pure recrystallised’) zinc sulphate by mixing in a flask distilled water with nearly twice its weight of crystals of pure zinc sulphate, and adding zinc oxide in the proportion of about 2 per cent. by weight of the zinc sulphate crystals to neutralise any free acid.! The crystals should be dissolved with the aid of gentle heat, but the temperature to which the solution is raised should not exceed 30° C. Mercurous sulphate treated as described in 4 should be added in the proportion of about 12 per cent. by weight of the zinc sulphate crystals, and the solu- tion filtered, while still warm, into a stock bottle. Crystals should form as it cools. 4, The Mercurous Sulphate-—Take mercurous sulphate, purchased as pure, and wash it thoroughly with cold distilled water by agitation in a bottle; drain off the water and repeat the process at least twice.’ After the last washing drain off as much of the water as possible. Mix the washed mercurous sulphate with the zine sulphate solution, adding sufficient crystals of zinc sulphate from the stock bottle to ensure saturation, and a small quantity of pure mercury. Shake these up well together to form a paste of the consistence of cream. Heat the paste, but not above a temperature of 30° C. Keep the paste for an hour at this temperature, agitating it from time to time, then allow it to cool; continue to shake it occasionally while it is cooling. Crystals of zinc sulphate should then be distinctly visible, and should be distributed throughout the mass; if this is not the case add more crystals from the stock bottle, and repeat the whole process. This method ensures the formation of a saturated solution of zinc and mercurous sulphates in water. Contact is made with the mercury by means of a platinum wire about No. 22 gauge. This is protected from contact with the other materials of the cell by being sealed into a glass tube. The ends of the wire project from the ends of the tube ; one end forms the terminal, the other end and a portion of the glass tube dip into the mercury. To set up the Cell. The cell may conveniently be set up in a small test tube of about 2 centimetres diameter and 6 or 7 centimetres deep. Place the mercury in the bottom of this tube, filling it to a depth of, say, 1-5 centimetre. Cut a cork about °5 centimetre thick to fit the tube; at one side of the cork bore a hole through which the zinc rod can pass tightly; at the other side bore another hole for the glass tube which covers the platinum wire; at the edge of the cork cut a nick through which the air can pass 1 See Notes. 134 REPORT—1893. when the cork is pushed into the tube. Wash the cork thoroughly with warm water, and leave it to soak in water for some hours before use. Pass the zinc rod about 1 centimetre through the cork. Clean the glass tube and platinum wire carefully, then heat the ex- posed end of the platinum red-hot, and insert it in the mercury in the test tube, taking care that the whole of the exposed platinum is covered. Shake up the paste and introduce it without contact with the upper part of the walls of the test tube, filling the tube above the mercury to a depth of rather more than 2 centimetres. Then insert the cork and zinc rod, passing the glass tube through the hole prepared for it. Push the cork gently down until its lower surface is nearly in contact with the liquid. The air will thus be nearly all ex- pelled, and the cell should be left in this condition for at least twenty- four hours before sealing, which should be done as follows :— Melt some marine glue until it is fluid enough to pour by its own weight, and pour it into the test tube above the cork, using sufficient to cover completely the zinc and soldering. The glass tube should project above the top of the marine glue. The cell thus set up may be mounted in any desirable manner. It is convenient to arrange the mounting so that the cell may be immersed in a water-bath up to the level of, say, the upper surface of the cork. Its temperature can then be determined more accurately than is possible when the cell is in air. In using the cell sudden variations of temperature should as far as possible be avoided. Notes. The Zine Sulphate Solution.—The object to be attained is the pre- paration of a neutral solution of pure zinc sulphate saturated with ZnSO,,7H,0. At temperatures above 30° C. the zinc sulphate may crystallise out in another form; to avoid this 30° C. should be the upper limit of tempera-— ture. At this temperature water will dissolve about 1°9 time its weight of the crystals. If any of the crystals put in remain undissolved they will be removed by the filtration. The amount of zinc oxide required depends on the acidity of the solu- tion, but 2 per cent. will, in all cases which will arise in practice with reasonably good zinc sulphate, be ample. Another rule would be to add the zine oxide gradually until the solution became slightly milky. The solution when put into the cell should not contain any free zinc oxide; if it does then, when mixed with the mercurous sulphate, zine sulphate and mercurous oxide are formed ; the latter may be deposited on the zinc, and affect the electro-motive force of the cell. The difficulty is avoided by adding as described about 12 per cent. of mercurous sulphate before filtration: this is more than sufficient to combine with the whole of the zine oxide originally put in, if it all remains free; the mercurous oxide formed together with any undissolved mercurous sulphate is removed by the filtration. The Mercurous Sulphate-——The treatment of the mercurous sulphate has for its object the removal of any mercuric sulphate which is often present as an impurity. Mercuric sulphate decomposes in the presence of water into an acid and a basic sulphate. The latter is a yellow substance—turpeth mineral— ON STANDARDS FOR USE IN ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS. 135 practically insoluble in water: its presence at any rate in moderate quan- tities has no effect on the cell. If, however, it is formed the acid sulphate is formed also. This is soluble in water and the acid produced affects the electro-motive force. The object of the washings is to dissolve and remove this acid sulphate, and for this purpose the three washings described in the specification will in nearly all cases suffice. If, however, a great deal of the turpeth mineral is formed it shows that there is a great deal of the acid sulphate present, and it will then be wiser to obtain a fresh sample of mercurous sulphate rather than to try by repeated washings to get rid of all the acid. The free mercury helps in the process of removing the acid, for the acid mercuric sulphate attacks it, forming mercurous sulphate and acid which is washed away. The cell may be sealed in a more permanent manner by coating the marine glue, when it is set, with a solution of sodium silicate and leaving it to harden. APPENDIX. August 12, 1892.

To Sir Tuomas Bromerietp, Secretary, Electrical Standards Committee of the Board of Trade. EXrTrRact FROM THE Report OF THE ELECTRICAL STANDARDS COMMITEE OF THE AssociATION, August 9, 1892. The following resolutions were agreed to :— 1. That the resistance of a specified column of mercury be adopted as the practical unit of resistance. 2. That 14-4521 grammes of mercury in the form of a column of uniform cross-section 106°3 centimetres in length at 0°C. be the specified column. 3. That standards in mercury or solid metal having the same resist- ance as this column be made and deposited as standards of resistance for industrial purposes. 4, That such standards be periodically compared with each other, and also that their values be redetermined at intervals in terms of a freshly set-up column of mercury. It was further agreed that these resolutions be communicated to the Electrical Standards Committee of the Board of Trade. With regard to the units of current and electro-motive force it was agreed that the number ‘001118 should be adopted as the number of grammes of silver deposited per second from a neutral solution of nitrate of silver by a current of 1 ampere, and the value 1:434 as the electro- motive force in volts of a Clark cell at 15° C. 136 REPORT—1893. Dr. von Helmholtz expressed his full concurrence in these decisions, which are, as he informed the Committee, in accord with the reeommenda- tions which have already been laid by the Curatorium of the Reichs. anstalt, as well as by himself before the German Government. APPENDIX II. Experiments on the Effects of the Heating produced in the Coils by the Currents used in Testing. By R. T. GLAzeBROOK. Various circumstances (notably the experiments of Mr. Griffiths ') had made it appear probable that the heating effect in the coils produced by the current used in making the resistance test might be sufficient to affect the results of the tests. Some experiments were made to examine the point directly. The resistance of a coil of 100 ohms (nominal value) was measured in the usual way, z.e. by making a Wheatstone’s bridge of four coils whose nominal values were ‘1, 10, 10, and 100 ohms. If the coils had been accurate there would have been a balance ; as it was, one of the 10-ohm coils needed to be shunted, and the adjustment was made by determining the value of the shunt when no current passed through the galvanometer. As the current in the battery circuit was increased by varying the number of cells this shunt decreased in value, showing that the effect of the heating was to produce an apparent diminution of the resistance of the 1000-ohm coil. This, of course, is as would be anticipated ; for +? of the current goes through the 1-ohm and one of the 10-ohm coils; the re- maining ;; goes through the 10-ohm and the 100-ohm. The rise of temperature will clearly be greatest in the first 10-ohm coil, and to counterbalance the increase in resistance produced thereby it becomes necessary to reduce the shunt. The following readings were obtained :— Current in Amperes Shunt in 1000 Ohms Correcting Factor “05 35°5 1—-00028 ‘09 32:5 “00031 12 230 00033 14 30°5 00033 15 29°5 “00034 The true value of the 100-ohm is given by taking the product of the values of the two 10-ohm coils at the temperature of the observations, dividing by the value of the l-ohm and multiplying by a factor repre- senting the effect of the shunt. During the above observations the temperatures remained steady, the factor changed from 1—-00028 to 1— ‘00034. Thus the resistance of the 100-ohm coil changed by ‘034—-028, or ‘006 ohm. The apparatus was not sensitive with a smaller current; the effect, 1 Phil. Trans., 1893. 2 Only one observation at this current was made; the others are the mean of several. ON STANDARDS FOR USE IN ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS. 137 however, will vary as the square of the current; and, since trebling the current produces so small a change, we may infer that the total effect is itself small. Another coil gave the following results :— Current in Amperes | Shunt in 1000 Ohms | Correcting Factor 05 48 | 1—-000208 09 45 000222 12 | 43 | 000233 14 | 41 | 000244 i | | 000250 indicating a change in the measured resistance of ‘0042 ohm on 100 ohms, It is clear, therefore, that the effect of heating is small, though appre- ciable when currents approaching ‘15 ampere are used. APPENDIX III. On Standards of Low Electrical Resistance. By J. Viriamu JONES, Principal and Professor of Physics in the University College, Cardiff. The preparation of standards of low electrical resistance of from ‘001 to ‘0001 ohm seems to be a matter of some importance at the present time. These standards are already in request among engineers, and it becomes of interest to consider how they may best be measured to a percentage accuracy comparable with that with which the standard ohm is known. Such standards of low resistance may be derived by potentiometer methods from the standard ohm by a series of downward steps. But this is from one point of view roundabout. The method of measuring the ohm tbat seems in all its details most accurate is that of Lorenz. In this method the ohm itself is derived from the measurement of a small resistance. It is simply going up and down again to prepare from the ohm so derived the required small resistance standards, and it is more direct and more accurate to measure the latter directly in absolute measure. ‘In Lorenz’s method a metallic disc’ is made to rotate in the mean plane of a coaxial standard coil. Wires touching the centre and circumfer- ence of the disc are led to the ends of the resistance to be measured, and the same current is passed through this resistance and the standard coil. The connections being rightly made, we may by varying either the rate of rotation of the disc or the resistance measured so arrange matters as to have no change of current in the circuit of the disc and wires joining it to the ends of the resistance, when the direction of the current through the resistance and the standard coil is changed. When this arrangement is effected there is a balance between the electromotive force, due to the motion of the disc in the magnetic field of the current in the standard coil, and the difference of potential at the ends of the resistance, due to 138 REPORT—1898. the current traversing it. If this adjustment be made we will say that the apparatus is in an equilibrium position.’ ! If M=coefficient of mutual induction of standard coil and circum- ference of disc, n=rate of rotation of disc (number of revolutions per second), R=resistance, y=current through standard coil and resistance, then in an equilibrium position Mny=Ry, or R=Mn. I do not think that electricians have as yet realised the accuracy and ease with which absolute measurements of resistance may be made by this method. The absolute measurement involves measuring first the coefficient of mutual induction of the standard coil and the circumference of the rotating disc, and secondly the rate of rotation of the disc. Now it lies well within the resources of modern mechanical engineer- ing to make a standard coil and disc of dimensions known to an accuracy considerably greater than 1 in 10,000, the coil being constructed of a single layer of wire wound in a screw thread cut on a cylinder of large diameter; and the measurement of the rate of rotation to equal accuracy isa simple matter. There is difficulty in maintaining a rate of rotation constant to this figure for four or five minutes, but with the closest attention to the lubrication of all the bearings this also might be accom- plished. Such constancy is well worth striving for, as the ease with which measurements of resistance can be made by the method largely depends upon it. I do not propose on this occasion to enter into the details of the method I have adopted in making the measurements, the results of which I have now to bring before the Section. But it will perhaps be of interest if I say a few words about the time-measurement. In measuring a resistance we have to find the rate of rotation corre- sponding to an equilibrium position. It is easiest in practice to determine this by interpolation from two determined rates of rotation (near together, and respectively slower and faster than the required rate) and the galvanometer deflections corresponding to them, so that each determina- tion of resistance involves two determinations of galvanometer deflection and the rates of rotation corresponding to them. In order that the galvanometer deflection may be obtained with sufficient accuracy from a limited number of reversals (in my observations the number has been almost uniformly thirty-three, taking about four minutes in each case) the brush at the circumference of the disc needs to be perforated and to be supplied with a constant stream of mercury. Such a brush in its best condition almost entirely eliminates the continual jerking of the galvanometer needle consequent on thermo-electric changes at the point of contact of brush and disc. A multiplication of such brushes at three or four points of the circumference would do this even more completely. During the four or five minutes’ run the rate of rotation is referred by 1 Vide Phil. Trans., 1891, A, p. 2, ‘On the Determination of the Specific Resistance of Mercury in Absolute Measure.’ ON STANDARDS FOR USE IN ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS. 139 a stroboscopic method to a suitable tuning-fork provided with riders and maintained in vibration electrically. The observer at the fork can shunt more or less current through the electromotor driving the disc, and in this way maintains the rate of rotation as constant as he can. But though the electrically maintained fork is useful for purposes of control it cannot be relied on to give us the rate of rotation. Its vibration period is not within my experience constant to the degree of accuracy required. If stopped and set going again it may start with a period different by several parts in 10,000. No previous determination of the period of the fork can therefore be relied on to give us the rate of rotation, though once started the fork goes sufficiently uniformly to give us a means of control. Accordingly it is necessary to measure the rate of rotation during each run while the galvanometer observations are being made. The rotating disc is, by means of an eccentric attached to its axle, made to record its revolutions on the tape of a Bain’s electro-chemical telegraph instrument side by side with the record of the standard clock. We have, then, a time record exactly corresponding to the period of observation of the galvanometer deflections. During the run the observer at the galvanometer calls out the galvanometer readings, while the observer at the tuning-fork controls the speed, and the Bain’s instrument records it. I have made in this way a number of measurements during the months of July and August of a standard resistance of approximately 0005 ohm, prepared last year by my assistant, Mr. Harrison, and a student in my laboratory, Mr. Parker, with the following results :— July 17, morning : : : 5 : : : ‘00050016 PP liiacathernoou) ©. . 5 ; 3 : E é ‘00050016 » 19, morning 7 - 5 2 . 3 -00050015 Aug. 2,afternoon . : : : : : ; “00050020 » 98, morning : A ‘ H ; é : -00050021 $y 4, 3 P 5 ‘ ‘ si is ‘00050016 no 4 athermnoon —: : : : : : : -00050013 » 5, morning é ; ; : : , ‘00050019 a ttt , : : : : ; ; . 00050021 » 9, afternoon . ; : : ; , c -00050018 Mean ‘ ; -00050017 The maximum divergence from the mean is ‘00000004, or about one part in 12,000. Mr. Crompton has recently been issuing standards of low resistance made of manganine sheets, and he was kind enough, at my suggestion, to send me one for measurement towards the end of July. It was prepared in his laboratory as a derivative from the Cambridge ohm by means of his potentiometer. Its value so given was ‘00050175 at 23°C. Its temperature coefficient appears, from the measurements made in Mr. Crompton’s laboratory, to be so small that we need hardly consider it for our present purpose. My measurements of this standard were as follows :— July 29, morning ‘ : é : ; F f *00050219 RE TE) Ss MMe elle Ge cand Am, ~ +, Q00RDIEn » 1, afternoon : 3 5 ‘ : 3 E -00050219 » 2, morning P . : 5 : ; 5 ‘00050226 Mean ‘ ; -00050222 which differs from Mr. Crompton’s value by something less than one part 140 REPORT—1893. in 1000. Mr. Crompton’s resistance is a rectangular sheet of manganine, and the potential terminals are two screws inserted at a suitable distance apart in the median line. The screws are not soldered. I thought it would be of interest to unscrew them, screw them up again, and re- measure the resistance. The results were— August 10, morning .

We may therefore conclude that if an accuracy of th per cent. is required of a standard so constructed its potential terminals ought not to be meddled with after its resistance has been determined. In making these measurements my direct object has been to obtain an accurate and ready method of measuring standards of low resistance. But I think something more than this comes out of them. It would be possible in the light of our present experience to construct a Lorenz apparatus considerably more accurate and easier to use than that in my laboratory at Cardiff. Such an apparatus placed, let us suppose, in the National Laboratory, of which we have heard a good deal at recent meetings of the British Association, might with advantage be kept in constant use, not only for the calibration of low resistances, but also as embodying in concrete form a proper ultimate standard of electrical resistance. We have not in our electrical standard legislation given full credit to the mechanical engineer for what he can do for us; and I think that a coefficient of mutual induction arranged, as in the Lorenz method, so as to be easily combined with a time would afford a more satisfactory standard of resistance than any wire coil or coils, and one easier to use for purposes of ultimate reference than any mercury column. The Application of Photography to the Elucidation of Meteoro- logical Phenomena.—Third Report of the Committee, consist- ing of Mr. G. J. Symons (Chairman), Professor R. MxE.pona, Mr. J. Hopkinson, and Mr. A. W. Cuaypen (Secretary). (Drawn up by the Secretary.) Your Committee beg to report that their work has progressed slowly during the last year, though it has been greatly hindered by the appoint- ment of their secretary as principal of the new Technical and University Extension College at Exeter. The large amount of work involved in the ON PHOTOGRAPHS OF METEOROLOGICAL PHENOMENA. 141 organisation of so novel a type of institution has left little opportunity for carrying on the work of the Committee. Having been thus obliged to postpone much of the work they hoped to carry out, they have not drawn last year’s grant. Nevertheless, considerable progress has been made. The number of persons who have sent in their names as willing to contribute has been added to, the photographs in your Committee’s collection have in- creased from 361 to 467, and the objects of the Committee have again been brought before some of the most important photographic societies. The result is that the secretary is continually receiving letters asking for directions for the photography of clouds, for the loan of lantern slides, and general instruction, the furnishing of which your Committee consider by no means the least usefal part of their functions. A fairly exhaustive trial has been made of the comparative merits of the Sandell plates, and slow plates of the photomechanical type; from which it appears that the double film does not possess for cloud photo- graphy any advantage over the older type of plate. Since also the management of the latter after exposure is the easier, your Committee adhere to the decision given last year, that the black glass mirror and slow plate really provide the easiest means of securing good clond pictures. Attention must be drawn to the excellent pictures of clouds on the High Alps which have been received from Mr. Greenwood Pim, who has expressed his willingness to turn his attention to the photography of high clouds. With regard to cloud photographs generally, your Committee feel that their collection already includes sufficiently good examples of all the commoner varieties of cloud which are capable of being so repre- sented, and therefore think that there is no scientific object to be served in simply multiplying prints. Consequently, during the past year they have not sought such contributions, but in soliciting aid have invited observers to study especially the changes of high-level clouds. This is a work of considerable difficulty, and there are probably few persons who possess at once the requisite skill and sufficient leisure. The records of cloud forms may thus be said to have been secured, and the next question is, How may they be utilised ‘for the elucidation of meteorological phenomena,’ ? Upon what problems do they bear? This is easily answered. They should give first the means of settling precisely what connection there is between particular cloud forms and other atmospheric conditions, and in the next place they should give a clue to the explanation of their own forms. In order to attack the first problem the great want is an efficient cloud atlas of the higher clouds, such as was undertaken sdme time ago by the International Committee. This atlas has not yet been published, and init, moreover, it is proposed to arrange clouds under the names suggested by Messrs. Hildebrandsson and Abercromby, a system which English meteorologists have not yet adopted. Indeed, as your Committee have observed in a previous Report, the system of nomenclature should follow and not precede the study of the two problems stated. The varieties of the lower clouds are pretty well understood; it is with the higher clouds that all difficulties arise. Your Committee there- fore suggest that they should be empowered to arrange for the publica- 142 REPORT—1893. tion of a provisional cloud atlas, or one section of it, under the following conditions. Divide all clouds into the three great groups, Cumulus, Stratus, and Cirrus. Publish volumes dealing with each of these great groups, not naming the subordinate varieties, but assigning merely num- bers. Thus, supposing there are ten varieties of Cirrus—call them No. 1, No. 2, &c.; then, if there are ten varieties of cirro-cumulus, let these be numbered from eleven upwards. It seems that if such an atlas were distributed to a number of ob- servers who are in the habit of making eye-estimations of the quantity of cloud, it would be quite easy for them to record also the numbers of the respective types of cloud visible. Since these observations would be made by meteorologists, and at the same time as records of temperature, pressure, d&c., the results could not fail to be of real importance. Again, a meteorologist armed with such an atlas would be able to note changes of form from one type to another almost as well as the actual photographer. Lightning Photographs. Not many new photographs of lightning have been received, but they all agree with the others in the Committee’s collection in showing what has been called the narrow ribbon structure. There has not yet been any opportunity of ascertaining whether this structure is shown in negatives on paper, but it is visible in negatives taken on thin films. This fact confirms the opinion already expressed by your Committee, that it represents the true form of a lightning flash. Moreover, it cannot be caused by reflection from the back of the plate, because if so it would be most evident in the brighter parts of the flash, whereas it is most evident in the fainter; also, it would be more pronounced in the margins of the plate than in the centre, and the apparent orientation of the ribbon would vary according to the position on the plate. None of these things are noticeable. The major thickness of the ribbon seems to set itself in a particular direction, which is constant for all parts of a branched or other flash, whatever may be the position of the image on the plate. It is also not a whit more obvious in the margins of the plate than in the centre. Lastly, it is almost invariably shown more or less plainly ; why, then, should it be supposed to be due to some error of observation ? It has lately been suggested that it is produced by marginal deforma- tion of the image. Let us put aside for a moment the fact that the phenomenon is not marginal at all. Now, if a lens be used which will not cover the plate properly, so that the margins are out of focus, or if the camera be purposely put out of focus, it is quite true that the image of an electric spark may be expanded into a broad ribbon. But this is characterised by both the margins of the ribbon being brighter than the centre, while in the true narrow ribbon structure, as shown by light- . ning, the whole is equally bright, or one margin is bright and the other the faintest part of the image. The explanation is clearly incorrect. It may be useful here to draw a definite distinction between a light- ning ‘ flash’ and a lightning ‘ discharge.’ Flashes last only a short time, a mere fraction of a second, though probably a considerably larger frac- tion than was at one time supposed. The eye is not conscious of any variations of brilliancy during the flash, and a camera moving with con- siderable velocity dues not resolve it into a number of components. ON PHOTOGRAPHS OF METEOROLOGICAL PHENOMENA. 143 Discharges may consist of a single flash, but they frequently consist of a series of flashes following one another with considerable rapidity along the same or related paths. The eye is often able to detect alterna- tions of brilliancy during a discharge, and may resolve it, as a moving camera will, into a series of flashes accompanied by a persistent luminosity, which it has already been suggested is probably the flame of burning nitrogen. Last year your Committee referred to a photograph taken by Mr. Glew at Brixton. This was taken in a camera the lens of which was attached to the hammer of an electric bell and kept in oscillation during exposure. The object was to deduce from the known rate of movement of the lens the duration of the discharge. Unfortunately, however, there is nothing to show in which direction the lens was travelling at the moment of each component flash. There is one very simple method by which it is quite possible to make a rough measurement of the duration of a discharge. Let two observers, A and B, agree that A shall carefully notice the seconds hand of his watch while B looks at the sky to be sure that A does not confuse two separate discharges. If the night is otherwise dark, A will see the hand only when the face is illuminated by the lightning. The secretary to your Com- mittee has, with the aid of Mrs. Clayden, made many such observations, and has found that a lightning discharge often lasts as much as two or three seconds, and may extend further, the longest time hitherto observed being no less than seven seconds. During these times, though the brightness of the light varied considerably, it was quite possible to watch the hand moving steadily, and not in a series of jerks, as must have been the case if the continuity of illumination had been an illusion due to per- sistence of vision. In a similar way it is quite possible to follow the movements of swaying tree-tops and other objects. It was noted with some surprise that the light, as far as the eye can see, is often perfectly steady for as much as a couple of seconds. Since beginning these observa- tions not a single discharge has been noted of sufficient brevity to prevent any movement of the watch hand from being seen. Now, although such observations are rough, their bearing upon light- ning photography is important. An argument commonly advanced to prove that all photographs of reduplicated flashes are due to movement of the camera is that the track to be followed by successive flashes in a given discharge is marked out by the first, which creates a path of minimum resistance in the form of a partial vacuum. But it seems to be forgotten how far this tube of rarefied air must be moved, and how far the discharging point of the cloud (so to say) may be displaced by the movement of the air. We know that the wind is often quite strong during a thunderstorm, Now, a movement of one mile an hour corresponds to 17:6 inches a second. Suppose, therefore, we take the first seven values of the Beaufort scale and see how far such a tube of minimum resistance would be dis- placed during the existence of a discharge. Hence it appears that if a discharge lasts as long as three seconds, the path of minimum resistance marked out by the first flash might be dis- placed as much as fifty yards by a strong breeze. Moreover, since the clouds would be moving at the same rate as the upper part of the vacuous 144 REPORT—1893, Displacement in feet (discarding | Displacement Force Miles per Inches fractions) in metres Beaufort hour per Beale Soe 1 sec. 2 secs. 3 secs. 1 sec. 0 3 or less 53 4 9 13 1:3 1 8 141 12 23 35 36 2 13 229 19 38 57 58 3 18 317 26 53 79 8-1 4 23 405 34 67 101 10°3 5 28 493 41 82 123 12°5 6 34 598 50 100 150 15:2 track, there would be no disturbance of its relation to the discharging oint. i It is frequently observed in photographs of reduplicated flashes that the various components do not follow absolutely similar paths, and it is often seen that the departure from similarity is near the ground. Surely this is exactly what would be expected if the path of least resistance were swept along as suggested. The movements of the wind are not uniform, and the tube would frequently get bent or broken, such an event being most probable to occur within reach of eddies from the ground. It may be pointed out that the reduplicated flash photographed by the secretary to your Committee in a stationary camera was taken at right angles to that in which the storm and wind were travelling. Movement of the camera or lens or plate would necessarily exaggerate the reduplication where it might not otherwise have been detected, but there can be no doubt that a single discharge often lasts for several seconds, and therefore that any path of minimum resistance created by the first component flash must be moved to an extent quite sufficient to reveal the multiple structure to the eye and to the camera. It seems, moreover, that the narrow ribbon structure may be attri- buted to much the same cause. In conclusion, your Committee have to state that their scheme of an atlas of typical clouds cannot be carried out without considerable expen- diture, and they suggest that they be reappointed with a grant of 501. As they did not draw the 15/. voted last year, this is really an application for only 351. for that which they believe would be a valuable piece of work. The Best Methods of Recording the Direct Intensity of Solar Radiation—Ninth Report of the Committee, consisting of Sir G. G. Sroxes (Chairman), Professor A. Scuuster, Mr. G. JounstonE Sronzy, Sir H. E. Roscor, Captain W. pe W. Asnry, Professor H. McLeop, and Mr. G. J. Symons. (Drawn up by Professor McLEop.) Dourine the last year Mr. Casella has constructed for the Committee a thermometer with a lenticular bulb similar to that described in previous Reports, but consisting of colourless instead of green glass. As stated in the last Report, there are great difficulties in constructing an instrument with a green-glass bulb, and it was believed that there would be little ON THE INTENSITY OF SOLAR RADIATION. 145 difference in the readings obtained with a thermometer of ordinary white lass. ; On May 22 three sets of observations were made, two with the green- glass and one with the white-glass thermometer: those with the green were made between X.17 and X.50 and between XI.35 and XI.53, that with the white-glass instrument between XI.0 and XI.25. The observed excesses of temperature of the green-glass thermometer above the temperature of the case were 48°°3 F. and 49°°3. The observed excess of the white glass was only 32°°8. The corresponding calculated excesses obtained by the method described in the last Report were respectively 50°29, 49°24, and 33°30. It is thus seen that the white-glass bulb rises to about two-thirds of the excess indicated by the green-glass bulb. This, however, is no dis- advantage, for when the temperature of the insolation thermometer is much above that of the case the simple law which for smaller excesses connects the rate of cooling with the difference of temperatures is no longer a sufficiently near approximation, and the reduction of the observed results becomes more difficult. As the simultaneous reading of the three thermometers is not an easy operation, an attempt has been made to replace them by two thermo- electric junctions. A copper disc, 20 mm. in diameter and about °75 mm. thick, was soldered at its centre to a piece of iron wire. The wire was so bent that when the centre of the disc opposite to the soldered joint is exactly behind the hole in the copper cube, the other end of the wire makes contact with the copper cube midway between the front and back. To the edge of the disc a thin copper wire is soldered, which passes through a glass tube in the central opening of the cube, and is thus insu- lated from it. The experiment being only preliminary, the iron wire has been fixed in a hole drilled in the copper plug which usually holds the insolation thermometer, the glass tube carrying the insulated wire being passed through the hole in the same plug. The other terminal from the copper cube is made by fixing a piece of copper wire in the plug which closes the hole of the case thermometer B in front of the cube. In a per- manent instrument a binding screw should be attached to the cube in the plane of the disc. To increase the absorption of heat by the copper disc, it was blackened by being placed for a short time in sulphuretted hydrogen. The black surface thus obtained does not, however, com- pletely absorb the radiation, for, on throwing a beam of sunlight on it, it is observed that some of the light is scattered. The surface thus obtained may, in addition, be not permanent. ; The terminals of the thermo-couples were connected to a reflecting galvanometer of ‘97 ohm resistance, and the disc exposed to the rays of the sun, the lens of the instrument being used. The deflection of the galvanometer became steady after an exposure of from five to eight minutes, whereas twenty minutes were required when the green-glass- bulb thermometer was used. In order to determine the value of the deflections a double thermo- couple was made by soldering to two stout copper wires a bent piece of thick iron wire. Close to the junctions delicate thermometers were tied, and the apparatus was so arranged that the thermo-junctions and thermo. meter bulbs could be plunged in test tubes containing paraffin oil: one of these test tubes could be heated, and the connections were so made as Be current produced by the heated junction opposed that from the 93. L 146 REPORT—1893. actinometer. Whilst the disc in the actinometer was exposed to the solar radiations, one of the thermo-junctions was heated, and when the galvano- meter indicated that no current was flowing the thermometers were read. In one case, in which a deflection of 172 divisions was obtained, the current was balanced by a difference of temperature of the two junctions of 8°27 C. If an instrument of this kind could be made photographically self- recording it would constitute an excellent sunshine-recorder, giving not. only the time of the shining of the sun, but also a measure of its intensity. An ordinary reflecting galvanometer would not be very suitable for this purpose, for variations of the earth’s magnetism and the possible movement of magnetic bodies in its neighbourhood would vitiate the results. An instrument on the principle of the D’Arsonval galvanometer would be more appropriate, but a few experiments made with such an instrument have not given satisfactory results. Another source of error must be mentioned, namely, the variation of the resistance of the long conducting wires by changes of temperature. ‘No doubt all these difficulties might be overcome in a properly appointed observatory. On the Present State of our Knowledge of Electrolysis and Electro- chemistry. Report by W. N. Saw and T. C. FitzpaTRIck. Table of Hlectro-chemical Properties of Aqueous Solutions, compiled by T. C. Firzparricx. The comparison of the numerical results of electrolytic observations is rendered difficult from the fact that the data are scattered in various periodicals and expressed by different observers in units that are not com- parable without considerable labour. The following table has been compiled with the object of facilitating the comparison. In the table are included all the observations, as far as they are known to the compiler, for the metallic salts and mineral acids; but amongst the solutions of organic substances are not given all those for which Ostwald has made observations, as it was thought that they would add unneces- sarily to the size of the table. Observations for a number of additional substances will be found in Ostwald’s papers in ‘Journal fiir Chemie,’ vols. Xxxi., xxxii., and xxxiii., and in the ‘Zeitschrift fir physikalische Chemie,’ vol. i. With this restriction it is hoped that no important observations have been omitted, and that in the reduction of results, expressed in such varied units, the table is sufficiently free from mistakes for it to be of service. The data included refer to the strength and specific gravity of solutions, with the corresponding conductivities, migration constants, and fluidities. The several columns are as follows :— I. Percentage composition, 7.e. the number of parts by weight of the salt (as represented by the chemical formula) in 100 parts of the solution. II. The number of gramme molecules per litre, i.e. the number of grammes of the salt per litre divided by the chemical equivalent in grammes, as given for each salt. III. The specific gravities of the solutions: in most cases the specific gravities of the solutions are not given by the observers, and the numbers ON ELECTROLYSIS AND ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY. 147 given have been deduced from Gerlach’s tables in the ‘ Zeitschrift fiir analytische Chemie,’ vol. viii. p. 243, &e. IV. The temperatures at which the solutions have the specific grayities given in the previous column for the given strength of solution. V. The conductivity, as expressed by the observer. In the cases in which the observer has expressed his results for specific molecular con- ductivity no numbers are given in this column. _ VI. The temperature at which the conductivities of the solutions have been determined. VII. The temperature coefficient referred to the conductivity at 18°, ba (i). VIII. The specific molecular conductivity of the solutions at 18° in terms of the conductivity of mercury at 0°; specific molecular conduc- tivity is the ratio of the conductivity of a column of the liquid 1 centimetre long and 1 square centimetre in section to the number of gramme equivalents per litre. In some few cases in which no temperature coefficients have been determined the results have been given for the temperature at which the observations were made. The numbers given in the column are the values for the specific molecular conductivity x 10%. TX. This column contains the values for specific molecular conduc- tivity at 18° in C.G.S. units: they are obtained from those in the previous column by being multiplied by the value of the conductivity of mercury at 0° in C.G.S. units. This factor is 1:063 x 10-5. X. The migration constant for the anion ; for instance, in the case of copper sulphate (CuSO,) for (SO,). XI. The temperatures at which the migration constants have been determined. XII. The number of gramme molecules per litre, as defined for column I1., for which the fluidity data are given in the following columns. XIII. The finidity of the solutions of the strength given in the previous column, Most of the results given for the fluidity of solutions are expressed in terms of the fluidity of water at the same temperature: to obtain the absolute values for the solutions they have been multiplied by the value for the fluidity of water at the given temperature. The values used for this purpose have been taken from Sprung’s observations for the viscosity of water given in ‘ Poggendorff’s Annalen,’ vol. clix. p. 1. To obtain the values for fluidity in C.G.S. units the numbers in this column must be multiplied by the factor *1019. XIV. The temperature at which the solutions have the fluidity given in the previous column. XV. The temperature coefficient of fluidity at 18°, that is, i (2s). 18 XVI. In the last column are given the references to the various papers from which the data are taken: against each reference will be found a number, which appears also against the first of the data which haye been taken from the paper in question. nEPORT—1893. 148 LAN SI —j—)| -—- f- | — a) a) | —|-| = |=]J=\/= — | = |s =j=| = J/=]/=l= = |= {ta =|/=| = |= ]=)= — |-|% =|=-| - |-J=-|= — |-—|% Sel WS Sl = = I= len SS} = |= == = | =) S|) = | = |) = =) 55 =}=| = | = JH] = | 800 | 008 | = |r =— f=) = | = Je) ]—] = | =]= = f=) = | = JH] = jovsr) ost | = | or = }=}] = | = J=] = J sete} ows | — | er an SC eae le eS) SN = j=] = | = f=] = | ssec] ows | = | ar ==) = WS Els |e aS = J=) = | = JH] = | 88) ttoe | = | ot ==) = Se lil eS eS = i ee (ad POI heme eee |e geto-| os | 29 | 2ee]—| — | ere) Hae | — O610:| og | OR | BOn]—Jore | — | — | — uy bbog OVID » | FIO.)

In a report to this Association in 1881 reference was made to the observation of earth-tremors which it was thought might be connected with the occurrence of earthquakes. The analysis of records obtained during succeeding years showed that the surmise was without foundation. In 1883 an account was given of experiments with various forms of tromometers and delicate levels. The Report for 1884 contained further notes on the observations of earth-pulsations and earth-tilting. In 1885 216 REPORT—1893. an instrument was described which gave a continuous record of tremors and deflections of the vertical, and reference was made to earth-waves which had a period of from fifteen to sixty minutes. The Reports for 1887 and 1888 formulated certain laws respecting the occurrence of earth tremors or pulsations. Full accounts of all this work have been published in the ‘ Transactions of the Seismological Society.’ Last year I described to this Association a method for the investigation of earth-pulsations and earth-tilting, which consisted in making a continuous photographic record of the spots of light reflected from mirrors carried by two horizontal pendulums. These pendulums, which swing in planes at right angles to each other, are each made from a piece of aluminium wire, 60 mm. in length, tipped with a needle point resting in an agate cup. This is held in a horizontal position by means of a quartz fibre. When adjusted so that the period of swing is from five to six seconds, I find that a deflection of the spot of light upon the recording film of 1 mm. with one instrument corresponds to a tilting of 0°54”, and with the other instrument of 0°68”. The distance of the lamp and film from the mirrors, which are arranged to swing one above the other, is 3 feet. When describing this instrament in 1892 I referred to it as being new. In this I was mistaken, as similar arrangements have been used in Potsdam and other places by Dr. E. von Rebeur-Paschwitz (see ‘ Der. Ksl. Leop.-Carol. Deutschen Akademie der Naturforscher,’ Band LX. No. 1). In Japan the primary object of the observations was to obtain continuous records of earth-waves (tremors), with the result that with these records the records of other phenomena like those of earth-tilting were found. In Potsdam the cycle of observations was reversed, the primary object being to record small changes in the vertical, with the unavoidable result that distant earthquakes, tremors, and other phenomena were also recorded. The pendulums I have used have been exceedingly light, and intended to follow the movements impressed upon them by a succession of earth- wayes. The pendulums of Dr. von Rebeur-Paschwitz were comparatively heavy, and were adjusted to move with periods of from twelve to eighteen seconds. The results obtained in December and January last are described in detail in the ‘ Seismological Journal,’ whilst that which has been done between February and April is briefly as follows :— Daily Tilting. Almost every day the records show that the spots of light have been displaced in a direction which would correspond with a displacement should the N.E. or N.N.E. side of the column on which the pendulums stand be gently raised, and then gently but rather more quickly lowered. Occasionally the tilting is from the north, the pendulum in the meridian which records the east and west motion remaining stationary. The movement commences about 7 P.M., and continues steadily up to about 7 or 8 A.M. From this to about 10 a.m. there is a quick return to the normal position, where it remains until evening. The amount of tilting which would produce these deflections is from 2” to 10’. The average, as shown in the diagram, is about 4’.

The tests which have been applied to determine the effects produced by a change in temperature have been severe. After closing all doors a stove which stands about 3 feet distant from the 8.W. corner of the column has been lighted, and the temperature raised, for example, from 49° F. to 85° F. This took three hours, and during this time the corner of the column became sensibly warm to the hand. All was then allowed to cool. The effect as shown upon the photographic trace and partly by other instruments upon the column was that about half-an-hour after lighting the fire the N.H. side of the column very quickly sank, indicating a tilting from S.W. to N.E. of 2”. After this it sank until an amplitude of 6’ was reached. Here itremained for several hours, and then gradually rose. This, it will be observed, is a result that can be obtained by a change of temperature of 36° F. Undoubtedly temperature effects exist in the records I have taken ; but as it has often happened that the change in temperature during twenty- four hours inside my observatory has not been more than 4° F., while the daily movements have exceeded that which I obtain by a change of 36° F., I cannot attribute the movements I observe to fluctuations in atmospheric temperature in the vicinity of the column. To determine how far slow and regular changes in temperature may modify the diagrams will be a subject for future investigation. 218 REPORT—1893. Barometrical Effects. On the soft, marshy ground near Wilhelmshaven, Dr. von Rebeur- Paschwitz observes that a change in the vertical of +’ corresponds to a change of 1 mm. in barometrical pressure ; in fact, the district behaves as if it were the vacuum chamber of an aneroid. In Tokio the effects are not so pronounced, yet in many instances a N.N.H. tilting has corre- sponded with a rise in the barometer. On two or three days when the barometrical changes have been small the daily movements have been small, but there are other instances where the daily movement has continued and the barometer has been steady. In the smaller movements, and in the few cases where the direction of one component of the daily movement has been reversed, there does not appear to be any connection with the barometer. Mr. T. Wada, of the Meteorological Observatory, tells me that the daily maximum and minimum barometrical changes vary with the season, the yearly average being as follows :— _ Minimum Maximum | Minimum Maximum H. M. H. M. | H. M. H. M. For North Japan. 54) eos SS 9 OAM. 2 5PM. ce ct i For South Japan. een AG. 9 24M. | 3 2PM. | 10 1PM. Those which are italicised are the most pronounced. In winter there are two other periods, viz. :— _ Minimum Maximum H. M. H. M. For North Japan . A - . 0 5AM, 2 3AM. For South Japan. - : 5 O 5AM. 1 7AM. I have not observed any change accompanying these periods. Possible Relationship with Magnetic Movements. The relationship between the movements of the pendulums and the daily changes in magnetic declination suggests the idea that the pheno- mena which are being observed are not altogether unconnected with magnetic influences. In Tokio the declination is farthest west about 2 p.m., and farthest east at 8 a.M.; that is to say, when the magnetic needle is farthest east the north end of a north south boom of my instrument is farthest west. That the movements of the horizontal pendulums and those of a magnetic needle take place at the same time but in opposite directions has also been observed by Dr. von Rebeur-Paschwitz in Potsdam and Wilhelmshaven. In my instrument the pivot, which is a steel needle point 8 mm. in length, is pivoted at its southern end. Geological Structure and Direction of Movements. A very significant fact, possibly connecting the observed movements with geological structure, is that the N.E. or N.N.E. direction of tilting ON THE EARTHQUAKE AND VOLCANIC PHENOMENA OF JAPAN. 2]9% is at right angles to a well-defined axis of rock crnmpling, which shows itself in the N.W. to S.H. strike of the mountains some thirty miles distant, and which line of folding probably continues beneath the plain of Tokio. Another point not to be overlooked is that the direction of earth- quake motion across the Tokio plain is in the majority of cases also at. right angles to the direction of mountain strike. During the next summer I shall endeavour to instal horizontal pendulums on the rocks themselves, one of them parallel to the dip and the other at right angles to this direction. Irregular Movements. It often happens that superimposed upon the daily wave there are sinuosities with amplitudes of 1” or 2’, These appear to be chiefly marked on the east and west components of the diagrams. They have periods of from three to six hours, and generally occur as a sinking during the early morning or between midnight and 8 or 9 A.., at which time the east is usually rising. On February 17, March 24 and 26, small earthquakes occurred with these sinkings, after which the normal rise was continued. Other earth- quakes, which, however, were too small to be measured by ordinary seismographs, were not accompanied by such changes. Before the earthquake of March 6, which probably was of local origin, the spots of light had moved off the scale as if by an abnormally large sinking on the N.H. side. This was at 8.45 p.m. on March 5. I therefore do not know what happened immediately before the shaking, which took place at 8.52 a.M. next morning. Harth-waves or Earth-pulsations. (Tremors or Microseismic Disturbances.) On February 17, 18, and 19 there was a large and well-marked storm of tremors. The barometer did not fall to any remarkable extent, the lowest I noted being 29:7 in. While the movements were continuing the east side of the column was depressed about 2”, and the daily wave did not show itself. With other tremor-storms, which were, however, smaller, the daily wave has been unaffected. Earthquakes. From the list of earthquakes at the commencement of this report it will be seen that during the months of February and March nine earth- quakes were recorded at the Central Observatory in Tokio. Five of these were measurable by seismographs. Seven out of the nine were recorded at the University Laboratory, which is about 1} mile distant from the central station. Owing to certain of these having occurred - when there had been a temporary interruption in the taking of records— as, for example, when changing a film—-it is only possible that three of the seven disturbances should have been photographically recorded. These records are remarkable for their smallness, apparently showing that, although there had been a sensible motion of the ground, the mirrors had either remained practically at rest, or else they had not been. moving for a sufficiently long period of time to produce an impression on. the film. As the films, which were prepared for me by Professor W. K. 220 REPORT—1893. Burton, are particularly sensitive, I am inclined to the opinion that there was less tilting accompanying these earthquakes than there is in the waves which constitute a tremor-storm ; in fact, the earthquakes which only produced deflections of 2 mm. were elastic tremors, while so-called tremors which may produce deflections of 25 mm. are earth-waves. These observations led me to note the effects produced upon a film when the mirrors had been caused to swing by placing my finger upon the iron bed-plate which acts as their support. The result was that either a band about 12 mm. in length was produced or else the trace was blurred, and at the blurr a permanent deflection of about 3 mm. was recorded. As a result of these experiments I conclude that in all cases where lines are invariably opposite to each other in both components, and are seen as transverse markings in the traces, such lines indicate that the mirrors have been swinging, and the question arises, whether these are due to undulations from distant earthquakes or whether they are due to undulations which, if they were continuous, would constitute a tremor-storm. If they are tiltings due to distant earthquakes, then on several occa- sions as many as fourteen of these disturbances have been noted in twenty-four hours. On other days the normal lines are unbroken. Comparing the photographic traces with the list of 101 earthquakes which were felt in Japan during the month of February, it is seen that only the large ones, like numbers 54 and 61, have been recorded on the film. The traces, however, show that there have been many large dis- turbances which do not coincide in time with earthquakes noted on the list. It is possible that these may coincide with disturbances which had their origin in other countries, or, what is more likely, with disturbances originating beneath the bed of the Pacific, where, from what we know, seismic activity is at least as great as it is upon the land. An alternative suggestion is that they are the result of movements similar in character to those which constitute a tremor-storm; but whether these are to be attributed to sudden but gentle bendings of rocky strata, or whether their origin is to be sought for amongst causes which are more complex, is for the present a subject about which we are hardly justified in attempting to formulate an hypothesis. Dr. von Rebeur-Paschwitz in Germany has observed fourteen earth- quakes—if all of these really are earthquakes—in eleven months. One of them corresponds in time to the great disturbance of October 28, 1891, when Central Japan was devastated. Possible Connecticn between these Observations and other Phenomena. Assuming that with appliances similar to those used by Dr. von Rebeur- Paschwitz, or to those used in Japan, records of distant earthquakes may be noted, then it would be possible in England, or any other country, not only to note unfelt local disturbances, but also to record, at least, very many of the large disturbances which occur throughout the world. The importance of such records in determining the velocity with which earth-waves are propagated, or, as was suggested by Lord Kelvin, the determination of elastic constants for the earth’s crust, and in solving other problems, is apparent. Already the observations on earth-tilting seem to have gone sufficiently ON THE EARTHQUAKE AND VOLCANIC PHENOMENA OF JAPAN, 221 far to demand serious attention from practical astronomers. There are many reasons for believing that earth pulsations or undulations have a connection with the escape of fire-damp, and they do not appear to be wholly unconnected with the behaviour of certain physical instruments. For example, as the result of a long series of observations made with an Oertling and a Bunge balance, it seems that there are times when it would be impossible to carry out any delicate weighing operations. The more important results obtained from the observation of these balances were as follows : 1. The Oertling, which was a light assay balance, moved more than the Bunge. 2. [t was seldom that either of the balances was absolutely at rest. 3. During a day the pointer of the Oertling usually crept through half a division of the ivory scale. 4, Although when caused to swing the period of the Oertling was 41 seconds, it would sometimes be found performing complete swings with periods varying between 17 and 60 seconds. Slower motions might take 50 minutes. 5. It was often observed that both balances would start from rest simultaneously and in the same direction. 6. Periods of disturbance usually occurred with tromometric disturb- ances, but both balances have often been found moving when tremors were not observable, when the weather was calm and the barometer high, while they have been absolutely at rest during a heavy gale and the barometer at 29-2 inches. 7. The oscillations are not always about the same zero, and the zero for the pointer sometimes changes within a few minutes. A detailed account of the above observations is given in the ‘ Seismo- logical Journal,’ vol. i. The Earth-waves of Harthquakes. From the observations of many who have experienced a large earth- quake we may be certain that at such times the surfaces of alluvial plains have been thrown into a series of undulations. During these dis- turbances, from observations on the behavionr of fluids in vessels, the water in ponds, the irregular and erratic swinging of seismographs, and the character of the resulting records, it is also clear that undulatory, wave-like motions have taken place. On the occasion of the great earthquake of October 28, 1891, knowing that bracket and conical pendulum seismographs had been tilted, in the Twelfth Report to the Association calculations were given of the maximum slopes of the earth-waves which had caused these movements. Although these calculations may have been interesting on account of their novelty, because any arrangement like a heavy horizontal pendulum when quickly tilted is likely to overswing the point corresponding to that which it would take if the movement had been very slow, serious objec- tions may be raised to the accuracy of the results which were obtained. This consideration led me to devise an angle-measurer in which errors of this description are not likely to occur. It consists of a balance-beam, each arm of which carries a heavy weight so adjusted that the system has but feeble stability. When the stand carrying this is tilted in the plane of the arm, the arm remains horizontal, while a vertical pointer 222 REPORT—1893. projecting downwards, as in an ordinary balance, is relatively deflected through an angle corresponding to the tilt. This pointer moves a hori- zontal lever, at the outer extremity of which a sliding needle writes its record on a smoked-glass plate. Two such pieces of apparatus at right angles to each other, writing on the same surface, constitute a complete instrument. In one apparatus the balance-arm with its weights is replaced by a heavy metal disc, supported in a vertical plane by knife edges at its centre. Already one or two earthquakes have been recorded, and as these are the first written records of earth-waves, a portion of one of them is here reproduced :— Fig. 2. Tt shows the E. and W. tilting during a small portion of an earth- quake which occurred at 5.40 P.M. on January 8, 1893. The numbers indicate successive seconds, from which we see that the period of the waves varied from } to } second. The average angular deflection was about 2’ 40”, and the smallest about 1’ 30”. The movement continued over at least 20 seconds, dying out with hardly perceptible waves having periods of about + second. The N. and S. component of tilting was exceedingly small. The direction in which the waves were propagated was approximately E.N.H. to W.S.W. Inasmuch as tilting apparently occurs whenever we have vertical motion, an unpleasant conclusion—which, however, is not expressed for the first time—is that all the records hitherto published in Japan where vertical motion has been recorded are of but little value. Not only may the horizontal motion have been exaggerated, but the records of vertical motion have also suffered distortion, this being greatest when the arm of the lever seismograph has been parallel to the direction of the wave- slope. The disturbances in which the vertical component has been marked form about 10 per cent. of what should be our most important records. What we require to know, for example, as an assistance in investi- gations relating to construction is the configuration, dimensions, and rapidity of recurrence of these earth-waves. The varying slope of the waves, their period, and their direction of advance, may be measured by the apparatus described. As an attempt to measure the vertical component of these waves, four lever seismographs have been arranged with their arms at 45° to each other, it being assumed that the record from the instrument with its arm most nearly at right angles to the direction of the advancing wave will be the one which will most closely measure the vertical motion. Another possible method of measuring this element of earthquake motion would be to avoid errors consequent on tilting by arranging a vertical lever seismograph on gimbals. ON THE EARTHQUAKE AND VOLCANIC PHENOMENA OF JAPAN. 223 Gyroscopes as adjuncts to the solution of these problems have not hitherto proved themselves successful. On the assumption that the earth-waves in alluvium were harmonic in character and symmetrical in form, in the Report for 1892 it was shown that they might be 20 feet in length; and, knowing their length and period, the velocity of propagation was determined. Even should these waves have lengths several times this amount, some knowledge of their form might be obtained by simultaneously measuring the difference in movement between, say, the heads of a line of stakes at right angles to the direction of the advancing waves and different points of a wire or rod parallel to such a line, but only held in position at its two extremities. I am led to mention these latter experiments as indications of the important problems which seismologists have yet before them. List oF HARTHQUAKES RECORDED IN JAPAN IN FEBRUARY 1893. The list of earthquakes appended to this section of the Report is given as an example of a catalogue which might be compiled from the material which since 1885 has been accumulating at the Central Meteorological Observatory in Tokio. The approximate centre of a disturbance is indicated by its latitude and longitude, while the energy of the disturbance may approximately be deduced from the figures which show in geographical miles the diameter of the area shaken. Hitherto investigations respecting seismic activity, the periodicity of earthquakes, &c., have been based upon catalogues where only the nwmber of shocks have been recorded, and where the disturbances of one seismic area have been inextricably mixed with those from another. With a catalogue like the one suggested it would be possible to investi- gate the rate at which seismic activity is decreasing or increasing either in a given area or in Japan as a whole, giving values to the shocks pro- portional to the area they had shaken. It would assist us in determining whether there is any relationship between the frequency of earthquakes in neighbouring areas. Inasmuch as many earthquakes seem to be the result of sudden fractures or yieldings taking place during the process of rock-crumpling, it does not seem unlikely that the relief of strain along one axis should be altogether without effect upon neighbouring axes where folding may also be in operation. One interesting investigation of the records of a district which has very kindly been made by Mr. F. Omori has been to plot the shocks which succeeded the great disturb- ance of 1891 as a curve, the co-ordinates of which are equal intervals of time and the number of shocks occurring during these intervals. It will be remembered that the immediate cause of the disturbance was the formation of a large fault which can be traced some forty or fifty miles, together with several minor faults. During the seven months which followed the great shock no less than 3,000 shocks were recorded. How many have been recorded up to date has not been calculated, but from the appended list for the month of February, that is sixteen months after the first shock, sixty-two disturbances were noted. The curve representing this decrease in activity closely approximates to a rectangular hyperbola, which now, with an average of two shocks per day, is becoming asymptotic. a With the law of decrease deduced from these records Mr. Omori 224 REPORT—1 893. calculates that it will take about thirty years for the district to regain its original stability. The records for the Kumamoto earthquake, which took place in July 1889, show a like result, but with a rate of decrease directly proportional to the intensity of, or the area shaken by, the primary disturbance. One curious fact connected with the extinction of the Nagoya earth- quake is that the district of greatest visible faulting, where valleys were compressed and mountains were lowered, seems to have reached a fair state of quiescence, while the most active settlement, or the district where an extension of faulting is now taking place, is at the S.H. extremity of the main line of original disturbance—a few miles N.E. from Nagoya in Niwa-gun (N. lat. 35° 20’, and E. long. 136° 50’). Not only would the publication of the catalogue here indicated furnish material very much better than that which has been hitherto attainable for the continuation of investigations like those made by Perrey, Mallet, and other seismologists, but we should have materials for investigations which would be entirely new.

Seis. Soc., vol, x.). OVERTURNING AND F'RACTURING OF MASONRY AND OTHER COLUMNS. Tn the Twelfth Report (1892) it was stated that the form of a wall or pier which, rather than snapping at its base, would, when subjected to horizontal reciprocating motion, be as likely to snap at any one horizontal section as at any other had been determined. A brick building with walls approximating to this form has been designed and built “by Professor K. Tatsumo on the University com- pound. Mr. C. A. W. Pownall, M.I.C.E., has constructed brick piers for the bridges on the Usui Pass, some of which are 110 feet high with similar sections. An experiment relating to overturning which is in progress is to determine the relationship between the dimensions of a body and the amplitude of motion which will fail to overturn the same, no matter how short the period of motion may be. PUBLICATION OF A SEISMOLOGICAL JOURNAL. In consequence of many persons who took an active interest in seismology having left Japan, because work which formerly found a place in the publication of the Seismological Society now finds a place else- where, and for other reasons, the Seismological Society, which between 1880 and 1892 had published sixteen volumes, ceased its existence. As a certain amount of work still continues in order to bring this before those who are interested in seismology, a seismological journal has been published and the first volume already issued. ON THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SPECTROSCOPY. 227 Bibliography of Spectroscopy.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor H. McLrop (Chairman), Professor W. C. RoBerts- AustTEN (Secretary), Mr. H. G. Manan, and Dr. D. H. NaGeEt. THE collection and verification of titles of papers on spectroscopy have been continued during the past year, and it is expected that another instalment will be ready for printing at the next meeting. Mathematical Functions.—Report of the Commvittee, consisting of Lord RayLeicH (Chairman), Lord KELVIN, Professor CAYLEY, Professor B. Price, Mr. J. W. L. GuaisHer, Professor A. G. GREENHILL, Professor W. M. Hicks, and Professor A. LopGE (Secretary), appointed for the purpose of calculating Tables of certain Mathematical Functions, and, if necessary, of taking steps to carry out the Calculations, and to publish the results in an accessible form. Tue first Report of the Committee was in 1889 (at Newcastle-on-Tyne), when they published tables of [,(x) for integral values of from 0 to 11, from z=0 to 6:0, at intervals of 0°2; I,(w) being defined by ae at —7rn Lea he ae” pet aC) = 55,1 a eee }. The present tables of I,(z) are from z=0 to 5:100, at intervals of -001, and are given to nine decimal places, the last figure being approximate. They have been calculated by means of Taylor’s Theorem, the successive derived functions being obtained by use of the formula d agin(®) oS $(Tn=1 Sie Ti+) ? and of the formule derivable from this by successive differentiations. The values of these derived functions were checked by double cal- culation of the values of I,(z) halfway between those given in the 1889 table; thus, for example, 1,(2°3) was calculated as I,(2°2+0'1) and also as 1,(2°4—0:1). This important check confirmed at the same time the values of I,(7) which were given in the 1889 table, so that certainly the tables now given are free from any systematic error. When the present tables were finished, accidental errors were discovered and corrected by taking ont first and second differences, and then, finally, the printed tables were checked by continuous addition of the first differences on Edmond- son’s calculating machine. It is confidently hoped, therefore, that the tables are free from serious error. Tables of I,(z) have also been calculated, and are in a forward state, but are not quite ready for printing this year. It is proposed to have the tables republished in book form when com- Q 2 228 REPORT—1893. plete, together with tables of J,(x), to six decimal places. It will be noticed that the march of I,(«) in the present table is such that interpo- lation by first differences only will give accurate results to six decimal places. It is proposed to preface the book of tables with a short account of the History, Theory, and Applications of the Bessel Functions, drawn up by Professor A. G. Greenhill. The Committee are adding to the present Report a short table of J.(z/i). If desired, a table of J,(z/ 7) from «=0 to 6:0 at intervals of 0°2,. for integral values of n from 0 to 11, could be published next year. The Committee have expended the grant of 15/., and desire reappoint- ment, with a further grant of 15/. The Secretary has some copies of the 1889 Report, and will have some of the present Report, which he will be pleased to forward to anyone wish- ing to make use of the tables before their republication in book form. His address is, Englefield Green, Surrey. The Committee wish to point out an error in the 1889 Report. The differential equation of which I, is one solution has a wrong sign before its third term ; it should be The work of calculation has been much hindered by faults in the Edmondson’s calculating machine which was bought by the Committee. It has been returned to the maker several times, and has never been entirely satisfactory. Latterly the greater part of the work has been done on Professor McLeod’s machine, which he is always kindly ready to lend.

Meteorological Observations on Ben Nevis.—Report of the Com- mittee, consisting of Lord McLaren (Chairman), Professor A. Crum Brown (Secretary), Dr. JouHN Murray, Dr. ALEXANDER Bucuan, Hon. RALPH ABERCROMBIE, and Professor R. COPELAND. (Drawn up by Dr. Bucnan.) Tue Committee were appointed as in former years for the purpose of co-operating with the Scottish Meteorological Society in making meteoro- logical observations on Ben Nevis. The hourly eye-observations by night and by day have been made during the past year at the Ben Nevis Observatory without a single interruption by Mr. Omond and his assistants; also the continuous registrations and other observations have been carried on at the Low Level Observatory at Fort William with the same fulness of detail as during the previous two years. The Directors of the observatories tender their cordial thanks to Messrs. R. C. Mossman, F.R.S.H., A. J. Herbertson, C. Stewart, B.Sc., J. I. Craig, and A. Shand for valuable assistance rendered as volunteer observers during the winter and summer for periods varying from four to ten weeks, thus affording much needed relief to the members of the regular observing staff. For the year 1892 Table I. shows the monthly mean and extreme pressures, temperatures, hours of sunshine, amounts of rainfall, number of fair days or days of less than 0:01 inch of rain, at the observatories, the mean pressures at the top of the Ben being reduced to 32° only, while those at Fort William are reduced to 32° and sea-level (see Table I.). The mean temperature of the whole year at Fort William was 45°°3, being 1°-9 less than the mean of previous years, being nearly the deficiency for 1892 of a large part of Scotland to the north and east of Fort William. The mean temperature at the top of Ben Nevis was 29°°7, which is 1°] under the mean. Thus the mean temperature at the top, as compared with the foot of the mountain, was 0°°8 relatively warmer, and this relatively higher temperature was maintained at all strictly island and sea-coast situations from Monach in the Outer Hebrides to Corsewall Point, Wigtownshire, just as occurred in 1891. The difference was occasioned chiefly by the temperatures of the spring months and December. The lowest mean monthly temperature at Fort William was 35°°3 in December, being 4°°6 under the mean; but at the top of the Ben 20°3 in March, being 2°°3 under the mean. At the top the mean for December was 24°-0, being only 0°-7 under the average; whilst, as stated above, the mean of Fort William was 4°°6 under the average. The difference of the means of the two observatories was only 11°-3, instead of the normal 15°2. This remarkably higher relative temperature of the top in December was altogether due to the prevalence of well-marked anti- cyclones during the time, when the temperature at the top was frequently much higher than at Fort William. It was during these periods, when extraordinary dryness of the air also prevails, that Mr. Herbertson succeeded in obtaining the most valuable of the hygrometric observations in connection with the large inquiry he is now conducting at the two “ON METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON BEN NEVIS.

The highest monthly mean temperature at the top was 40°°7 in July, and 55°'5 at Fort William in the same month, these being respectively 0°°6 above and 1°-8 under the several averages. The maximum temperature at the top was 59°] on July 29, and 7o°'5 at Fort William on June 6. The minimum temperature at the top was 3°°5 on March 27 from the hourly eye-observations, and 2°-7 from the minimum thermometer. This is absolutely the lowest temperature that has occurred since the opening of the observatory in 1883, and it was observed at 6 A.M. 1892 was 13°°3 on February 19 The registrations of the sunshine-recorder show 802 hours out of a possible 4,470 hours, being 106 fewer than during the previous year. At Fort William the minimum temperature for 282 REPORT—1893. The maximum was 130 hours in July, being the highest for July hitherto recorded, and the minimum, 12,in January. At Fort William the number for the year was 1,179 hours, or 377 in excess of the number registered on the top; a difference above the average. The greatest number was 178 hours in April, and the least 19 hours in December. ; Since, at the top of Ben Nevis, the horizon is virtually clear all round, the total possible hours of sunshine agree with the theoretic number for the latitude. But at Fort William, owing to the surrounding hills, the theoretic number differs widely from the actual number possible to be observed. During the last three years Mr. Omond has observed the actual intervals between sunrise and sunset at the lower station with the following result :— TasLe II.—Theoretical Number of Hours of Sunshine.

At the time of lowest humidity the calculated dew-point fell to —27°°8. Each month, from December to May, the dew-point fell below the zero of Fahrenheit’s scale. The rainfall for the year was 150-90 inches, being 27:12 inches less than in 1891, and 47°44 inches less thanin 1890. At Fort William the amount was 73°28 inches, or less than half of what fell at the top of the Ben. These amounts are in each case very near their averages. Mr. Omond has com- a ON METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON BEN NEVIS. 283 pared the rainfall at the Fort William Observatory with the monthly amounts collected with the old gauge at Mr. Livingston’s during the year anda half ending with December 1892, with the result that the rainfall at the observatory is 4°6 per cent. less than at Mr. Livingston’s. The largest rainfall of any month at the top was 22°52 inches in January, and at Fort William 1442 inches in September, the smallest amounts being respectively 5°42 inches and 1°84 inch, both occurring in March. The heaviest fall on any single day at the top was 5'76 inches on January 25, and at Fort William 2°83 inches on November 28. The number of days on which the rainfall was nil, or less than one- hundredth of an inch, was 116 at the top, and 152 at Fort William. At the top the largest number of days was 16 in July, and the smallest, 5, in January; and at Fort William the numbers were 23 in March and 5in January. At Fort William a fall of an inch of rain a day or more occurred on 13 days during 1892, but at the top of Ben Nevis on 50 days, or nearly four times as often. From one to nine such wet days were recorded at the top each month, whereas at Fort William no such wet days occurred in March, April, June, July,and September, and on four of the other months only one day each. At Fort William the mean atmospheric pressure at 32° and sea-level was 29°852 inches, and at the top 25°284 inches, thus giving a difference of 4-568 inches. The lowest pressure at the top for the year was 24147 inches at 2 p.m. of February 2, and the highest 25-960 inches at 7 p.m. of March 22, the difference being 1°815 inch. Mr. A. J. Herbertson is carrying on at the two observatories the research on the hygrometry of the atmosphere referred to in our report of last year. During last autumn and early winter he spent upwards of four months at the Ben Nevis Observatory, and there measured the aqueous vapour by direct weighing, obtaining a new and valuable series of experiments at very low temperatures and humidities. Since July last a similar set of experiments are being conducted by him and two skilled assistants, involving measurements of the aqueous vapour simultaneously at both high- and low-level observatories. Observations are made at the same times with the dry and wet bulb, both in a Stevenson screen and in an Assmann aspirator psychrometer; with Regnault’s bygrometer ; and of the numbers of dust particles present, the general weather con- ditions as to barometric pressure, sunshine, wind, &c. Mr. Herbertson has communicated a preliminary report on the results of last year’s. observations and experiments to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, in which among other points of interest the very unsatisfactory character of the hygrometric tables now in use is clearly shown for low temperatures and great dryness. The experiments at present in progress give the cor- responding data for summer temperatures and humidities; and, seeing they are conducted simultaneously both on the top of the Ben and at Fort William, the effect of large differences of pressure will be seen on the rela- tions of the dry and wet buib readings to the amounts of aqueous vapour actually present in the air at the time. The Directors regard these experiments as of great importance, not only as furnishing data towards a better knowledge of the hygrometry of the atmosphere, but also as leading to much needed improvements in the methods of reducing the readings of the dry and wet bulb thermometers. Mr. Omond has written a paper on hourly readings of a black bulb thermometer in vacuo as compared with the readings of the dry bulb 284 REPORT—1893. thermometer in the Stevenson screen, which was published in the last ‘Journal’ of the Scottish Meteorological Society. The results are interest- ing and suggestive. He has prepared a paper on the height of the lower edge of the cloud layer on Ben Nevis, based on observations taken at In- verlochy during some months of the present summer; and has also insti- tuted a comparison of the temperature observations from August 1890 to December 1891, made simultaneously by himself at the new observatory and by Mr. Livingston at the old station with the instruments in use there since 1885. At last year’s Meeting of the Association a grant of 501. was made to aid in the payment of assistants to perform the strictly routine work of Dr. Buchan and Mr. Omond, so that their time would be set free for the discussion of the observations cf the two observatories beginning with August 1890. This arrangement has been carried out, and the following is a detailed statement of the work which has been completed or is still in progress. From the first eight years’ observations of the rainfall at the top of Ben Nevis the mean hourly variations for the twelve months of the year have been calculated, and the hourly values reduced to percentages above or below the monthly means. The results were then ‘ bloxamed’ in the usual XIT+I+4+I11 f meee oey So , &c., where the Roman numerals repre- way, that is, the value for 1 a.m. of January equals 1 a.m. of February eee = sent the values of the months December, January, February, &c., for these years. In this way Table IV. has been constructed, which shows the diurnal variation in the precipitation throughout the year. As was to have been expected, the curves for the warmer months of the year are best marked. These show a clearly defined double maximum and mini- mum. The larger maximum occurs from 11 a.m. to 8 P.m., or during the warmer honrs of the day after the ascending current has set in. Then a minimum occurs from 8 p.M. to 1 A.M., or during the hours when tem- perature falls most rapidly, and the evening maximum of pressure prevails. For the next six hours precipitation is above the average, the greatest increase being from 5 to 6 a.M.; and finally from 7 to 11 a.m. the next minimum occurs, or during the hours atmospheric pressure and tempera- ture increase, and terminates with the formation of the ascending current, which is so pronounced a feature in the meteorology of Ben Nevis. During the colder months the curves are less distinctly marked, except a decided maximum during the coldest hours of the day, and a minimum during the hours of the morning barometric maximum, when temperature is rising. The hourly variation of the rainfall is more clearly shown than at any other observatory at which hourly observations have been made from results extending over a comparatively short term of years. The discussion of the hourly barometric and thermometric means at the two observatories for the three years is nearly complete. An inquiry into the diurnal variation of the barometer and thermo- meter on Ben Nevis during days of clear weather on the one hand, and days of fog or mist throughout on the other, is completed for the three years ending August 1893. The inquiry had not proceeded far when it was apparent that the curves for clear weather and those for clouded weather while fog or mist was absent were in all essential respects the same; but the curves were of quite a different character when fog or mist prevailed.

The hourly temperature and pressure of such days were extracted from the daily sheets, and the averages for each month calculated. Those days were regarded as clear days when the sun shone at least several hours, and when fog or mist was virtually absent. Means were similarly calcu- lated for these clear days. Thereafter the monthly means for the three years were ascertained, and the hourly results ‘ bloxamed’ as explained above. The results show two sets of curves, essentially different the one from the other, the monthly curves for foggy and misty days revealing a diurnal variation of pressure quite distinct from that of the curves for clear days. Table V. shows the differences between the two sets of curves, the plus sign (+) indicating a higher pressure for foggy days, and the minus sign (—) a lower pressure for those days as compared with the pressure for clear days at the same hours. With clear skies the daily maximum pressure occurs at 11 A.M. in winter, but at 2.30 p.m. in summer; whereas with fog or mist it occurs at all seasons between 10 and 11 p.m. With clear skies the minimum occurs at 4.30 a.m., but with fog at 6 a.m. From Table V. it is seen that, with fog, pressure is higher than with clear skies from 7 P.M. to 4 A.M, attaining the absolute maximum at midnight, but lower from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m., the absolute minimum being about noon. The important bearing of these results on solar and terres- trial radiation and other physical inquiries is obvious. No small part of the large excess of pressure during the night hours in fog is probably occasioned by the latent heat set free in the condensation of the aqueous vapour into fog or mist. This necessarily, in the circumstances, increases the barometric readings where it occurs, viz., on the top of the mountain, and particularly at night when the surface temperature of the mountain 286 | REPORT—1893. is low. Owing to the high winds which often prevail at the time, and the formation of the fog being chiefly confined to the restricted area of the mountain top, the increased pressure is not relieved by the formation of an ascending current, and hence pressure is increased at the top, being the restricted area where the condensation takes place.

These sheets show the relative times of occur- rence at the top and bottom of the mountain respectively of changes of pressure, temperature, humidity, and the other subjects of observation, together with their relative amounts. As the work proceeds the entries on the sheets are compared with the bi-diurnal weather maps of the weekly weather report of the Meteorological Office, and copious notes are made of the relations of the observations of the two observatories to the cyclones and anticyclones of north-western Europe at the time. One example may be here referred to. It frequently happens that the temperature differ- ence of the two observatories, which is generally about 16°-0, becomes less and less during the time of the anticyclone, and occasionally temperature is higher at the top than at the foot of the mountain. But as the anti- cyclone gives way, and the cyclone advances, temperatures assume their normal difference. Now the observations show two marked types of weather in these circumstances : one typ@ when the difference is brought about by a falling temperature at the top while temperature at Fort William remains practically stationary; and the other type when tempera- ture rises at Fort William while at the top of Ben Nevis it is stationary. These different types at the present stage of the inquiry seem to point to important well-marked characteristics of the approaching weather. ON EARTH TREMORS. 287 Earth Tremors.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Mr. G. J. Symons, Mr. C. Davison (Secretary), Sir F. J BraMwet., Pro- fessor G. H. Darwin, Professor J. A. Ewrna, Dr. Isaac Roserts, Mr. Tuomas Gray, Sir JoHN Evans, Professors J. Prestwicu, E. Hutt, G. A. Lesour, R. Mexpoua, and J. W. Jupp, Mr. M. Watton Brown, Mr. J. GLAISHER, Prof. C. G. Knorr, Prof. J. H. PoyntinG, and Mr. Horace Darwin. (Drawn up by the Secretary). APPENDIX—Account of Observations made with the Horizontal Pendulum. By Vr. E. VON REBEUR-PASCHWITZ, p. 309. Tue Committee were appointed to consider the advisability and desirability of establishing in other parts of the country observations upon the pre- valence of earth-tremors, similar to those now being made in Durham in connection with coal-mine explosions. In the present report descriptions are given of several instruments which have been used in the study of earth-tilts and earth-pulsations. The list is not a complete one, some having already been included in the reports of the Committee on the Lunar Disturbance of Gravity for 1881 and 1882, drawn up by Messrs. G. H. and H. Darwin.! The first of these valuable reports also contains an account of the pendulum with double-suspension mirror, used in the well-known experiments in the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. The extraordinary sensitiveness of this pendulum led Mr. Horace Darwin to design another form of the instrument, smaller and simpler in construction, but capable of measuring smaller angles than are required in these experiments. The method of determining the angular value of the scale-divisions has also been altered. The new pendulum was made some months ago by the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company, and Mr. Darwin, being unable at the time to give much attention to it, has lent it to the Committee for trial. The preliminary experiments have been made by the Secretary at Birmingham, chiefly under Mr. Darwin’s guidance, and the results are described below. The Committee think it most desirable that the observations should be continued in Birmingham, and also made in other parts of the country. One of the most delicate instruments that have been used for the observation of earth-tilts is the horizontal pendulum of Dr. E. von Rebeur-Paschwitz, who has described the results obtained with it in several valuable memoirs. The Committee considered that an account of these observations in English would be of great use, and at their request Dr. von Rebeur-Paschwitz kindly consented to write the very suteresting and valuable summary which forms an appendix to this report. Br irane of M. C. Wolf—tThe nadirane erected in 1863 by M. d’Abbadie at Abbadia, near Hendaye, is described in the reports for 1881 and 1882,” as well as some of the results which have been obtained with it. Brit. Assoc. Reports, 1881, pp. 93-126 ; 1882, pp. 95-119. In referring to these reports in the following pages they will be quoted as the Reports for 1881 and 1882. 2 Brit. Assoc. Reports, 1881, pp. 116-118 ; 1882, pp. 102, 103. The following is a list of M. d’Abbadie’s papers on this subject :— 288 REPORT—1893. The nadirane now to be described was designed by M. Wolf for use at the Paris Observatory.! It differs from that of M. d’Abbadie in two important particulars: (1) The beam of light is made to traverse a horizontal, instead of a vertical, layer of air, thereby avoiding the effects of variations in temperature. (2) The relative fixity of the object-glass and the observing microscope is rendered immaterial by employing differential, instead of absolute, measures of the position of the image, The bath of mercury rests on the limestone floor of the observatory cellar, which, being at a depth of 27 metres, is free from surface vibra- tions, and remains at a practically constant temperature. Above the bath, and rigidly connected with it, is a hollow prism of cast iron, the hypotenuse face of which carries a plane mirror of silvered glass inclined to the horizon at an angle of 45°. The mercury-bath is closed by a horizontal object-glass, 24 cm. in diameter, about 30 m. in focal length, and cut so as to give the least aberration to yellow light. The closing of the bath was found to be necessary in order to prevent the action of the mercury vapour on the silvering of the mirror. A second plane mirror of silvered glass, and 14 cm. in diameter, is fixed to the horizontal surface of a support rigidly connected with the framework of the mercury bath. On the floor of the cellar and ina line at right angles to the vertical face of the hollow prism is a metal plate, through a hole in which a beam of monochromatic yellow light passes. This beam is reflected by the inclined mirror, and again by the horizontal mirror and mercury, and is then returned as a double beam by the inclined mirror to near its origin, where the two images are observed with a microscope of small magnifying power. If the luminous point is rigidly connected with the optical centre of the object-glass of the microscope the two images, M. Wolf shows, are only displaced with respect to one another when the reflecting apparatus is rotated about a horizontal axis. The luminous point and microscope might indeed be held by the hand. The parts of the reflecting apparatus must, however, be invariably fixed with respect to one another and their support; and, the temperature of the cellar being constant, it follows that the only error can arise from rusting of the metallic parts. 1. ‘ Appareil destiné 4 reconnaitre les Mouvements du Sol par la Variation de la Pesanteur relativement aux Masses Solides du Terrain,’ Paris, Acad.

ON. EARTH TREMORS. 289 With this apparatus it is possible to measure an angle of 0/05; with M. d’Abbadie’s nadirane, one of 0/03. M. Wolf informs me that the only result of his observations, which have been carried on for several years, is that there has been no permanent change of level in the floor of the observatory cellar. Tromometer of P. T. Bertelli.—This instrument being now well known a brief account will be sufficient here. In its original form it cousists of a mass of 3 kilogrammes suspended by a copper wire 1 mm. in diameter and 3m, long. In the ‘normal tromometer,’ which is the form generally adopted throughout Italy, a mass of 100 grammes is suspended by a very fine copper-wire 15 m. in length from a stout arm projecting from the column which forms the stand of the instrument. From the centre of the bob of the pendulum there projects downwards a short style, the point of which, after reflexion in the hypotenuse-face of a right-angled prism, is observed with a microscope. In some instruments the style ends in a small disc, on which are ruled two fine lines at right angles to one another. The mirror is provided with a glass micrometer-scale ruled to tenths of a millimetre, and tenths of a division may be estimated by the eye. It is therefore possible with this instrument to measure an earth-tilt of about 14’. The scale can also be rotated so as to determine the direction of the movement. Tremor-recorder of Professor J. Milne-—The pendulum consists of a weight of 7 lb. suspended by a fine iron wire 3 feet 3} inches long. The upper end of this wire is soldered into a small hole in a plate which forms the top of a tripod-stand about 5 feet high. From the base of the bob a spike projects downwards, and is kept by a spring in contact with the end of a long light vertical pointer made of a strip of bamboo. The length of the pointer is about 164 inches, the short arm, which is in contact with the spike of the pendulum, being about th of the length of the longer arm. The instrument is made recording by discharging a spark every five minutes from the end of the pointer, and thus perforating a band of paper which is moved by clockwork beneath the end of the pointer. A second band of paper moves at right angles to the former, in order to avoid the loss of a record in case the pointer should move parallel to the first band. Though designed independently, this instrument, as Professor Milne remarks, is similar to one previously made by M. Bouquet de la Grye.! To avoid the friction arising from the movement of the pointer, M. Chesneau suggests that the bob of the pendulum should be a lens, a point of light close to it forming an image at a greater distance, which should record on a strip of photographic paper the movements of the pendulum.? The tromometer now used by Professor Milne is described in the *Report.of the British Association’ for 1892 as well as in the two last papers in the following list, in which he has given the results of his work on this subject :— 1. ‘ Earth Tremors,’ ‘ Japan Seism.

Seismic Oscillations of the Ground-water Surface-—Some interesting observations have recently been made on this subject by Professor Franklin H. King in wells in the Wisconsin agricultural experiment station farm.! The instrument employed consists of a copper float con- nected with the end of the short arm of a lever. The longer arm is three times as long as the other, and at the end carries a pen which traces the magnified fluctuations of the water-level on a moving sheet of paper. The recording apparatus is placed on a slab over the top of the well. The well in which these observations were made is 40 feet deep, and is tubed with 6-inch iron pipe down to the rock (sandstone), 37 feet below the surface, the water having a mean depth of about 20 feet. Ata distance of 140 feet from the well there is a railway line. When the records from this well were examined, numerous sharp, short period curves were found, which were at first supposed to be due to accidental disturbances of the apparatus. But the fact that they were always dependent from the main curve, indicating a rise of water in the well, led to their closer examination and to their association with the movement of trains past the well. ‘The strongest rises in the level of the water are produced by the heavily-loaded trains which move rather slowly. A single engine has never been observed to leave a record, and the rapidly moving passenger trains produce only a slight movement, or none at all, which is recorded by the instrument.’ The curve is produced by ‘a rapid but gradual rise of the water, which is followed by only a slightly less rapid fall again to the normal level, there being nothing oscillatory in character indicated by any of the tracings nor observable to the eye when watching the pen while in motion. The downward move- ment of the pen usually begins when the engine has passed the well by four or five lengths, and when the pen is watched it may be seen to start and to descend quite gradually, occupying some seconds in the descent.’ The cause of these movements of the ground-water surface is not quite clear. Possibly the earth, being depressed by the weight of the train, and sinking into the ground-water, may displace it laterally, and thus cause it to rise under the surrounding area; or the compression of the zone of capillarily saturated soil lying just above the ground-water surface, or its frequent recoils from the shock imparted by the moving train, may force some of the capillary water out of the soil, and thus raise the mean level of the ground-water. 1 ‘Observations and Experiments on the Fluctuations in the Level and Rate of Movement of Ground-water, &c.’ United States: Weather Bureau, Bull.

The pendulum used by Messrs. G. H. and H. Darwin in their experi- ments at Cambridge is fully described in the Report for 1881 (pp. 93- 112). The principle of this instrament was suggested to them by Lord Kelvin, and may be briefly described as follows. A heavy weight is sus- pended by two converging brass wires, which only allow the cylinder to move in a direction at right angles to the plane they are in. A fine silk fibre is attached at one end to the bottom of the weight and at the other to a fixed support, and passes through two thin wire loops on the edge of a small circular mirror. The ends of the silk fibre are brought close together, so that the two parts are inclined at a considerable angle. Thus, a very small displacement of the pendulum at right angles to the plane of the mirror will cause it, and a ray of light reflected by it, to turn through considerable angles. Mr. Horace Darwin has designed the new bifilar pendulum on the same principle (fig. 1). The mirror is circular and } inch in diameter, and itself forms the bob of the pendulum. Two hooks about } inch apart are fixed to its upper rim and are hooked on a Friel very fine silver wire which supports the mirror. The See points to which the ends of this wire are fixed are some We distance apart in a vertical direction, one being very nearly vertically above the other, and are attached to supports in the frame of the instrument. Any simple tilt of the ground may be resolved into component rotations about a vertical line and two horizontal lines, one perpendicular, and the other parallel, to the face of the mirror. The first rotation produces no appreciable effect, the second changes the horizontal distance between the two points of support, thus render- ing the instrument more or less sensitive, according as the distance is diminished or increased. By the third rotation, the upper support is moved through a greater distance than the lower, causing a deflection of the mirror about a vertical axis. If, for instance, the mirror be suspended in a north and south plane, facing a gas- jet at some distance to the west of it, and if the north part of the suspending wire be the longer, it is obvious that the pendulum will only indicate those tilts which take place in an east and west direction, or the east and west component of tilts which take place in other direc- tions ; and that a tilt towards the west will cause the reflected beam to deviate towards the south. The pendulum is at present placed in this position. The mirror faces west, and it will be convenient in this description to refer to the sides as north or south, &c. The front or west view of the instrument is given in fig. 2, on one-third the real scale. The base, A, is carried by three levelling-screws, 6 inches apart, and is made in two pieces fixed together ;! but it would be better for the fature to have it cast in one, together with the brass box, B, 2 inches broad, 2% inches high, and * In order to equalise the temperature in the instrument, thick metal of good conductivity has been used throughout in the construction. Brass and gun-metal have been used, although copper would have been considerably better. u 2 292 REPORT— 1893. 13 inch from front to back. One of the screw-feet is placed due east of the axis of the pendulum, and the line joining the other two is therefore north and south.

This part of the instrument will be referred to as the ‘frame,’ The thin silver wire which supports the mirror passes partly round each of these wheels, and is fastened by a small screw in their edges. The wire hangs down in a loop just below the frame, and is stretched tight when the mirror is hooked on. The north portion of the wire is attached to the upper wheel, and the south portion to the lower. A convenient vertical adjustment is given to the mirror by turning the pulleys and winding some of the silver wire on to them; the friction with which they turn prevents them running back. When the mirror is suspended in this manner the frame and mirror are inserted into the brass tube, the lower end of the frame resting on the hollow conical surface, r, of the passage from the tube to the mirror- box, so that the mirror hangs within the latter. A rectangular opening in a circular brass plate, p (fig. 2), at the top of the tube admits the frame and allows it to move without rotation in an east and west direc- tion. A thin rod, which passes through a hole in the south-east side near the top of the cap of the tube, is kept pressing bya spiral spring against the bar H (fig. 3), and this holds the frame against the north side of the rectangular opening, and also against the end of the screw, E£ (figs. 2 and 3), on the west side. Thus, all movement of the frame inside the tube is prevented, except that in an east and west direction, produced by turning the screw, r. Another and much stronger spring outside the cylinder keeps the screw E pressed in one direction in order to prevent any backlash in the screw. Before the plate, D, and the cap are screwed on, the mirror-box and tube are filled with paraffin oil, so that the pendulum and supports are entirely immersed in it. The effect of this is to make the pendulum absolutely dead-beat and capable of registering slow earth-tilts only. It is therefore unaffected by the rapid tremors such as would be produced by the rattling of passing vehicles. The two west or front levelling-screws being equidistant from the east and west line through the centre of the instrument, it is evident that the inclination of the pendulum along the latter line is not changed if one of the screws be raised and the other depressed by equal amounts. The sensitiveness of the pendulum can be increased or decreased by turning the screws in this manner. At present this is done by hand, but it might be desirable to put a slow motion for their adjustment which could be worked from a distance. The inclination of the pen- dulum in the east and west direction can be altered by the east or back levelling-screw (called the ‘back-leg’ in the Report of 1881) without affecting the sensitiveness, and a movement of the same kind but of far greater delicacy can be given to the frame by the screw, E. This can be done by hand, or a small turn of the screw can be made by the lever, F. The distances between the levelling-screws being known, and also the number of threads to the inch, it is evident that the tilt given to the instrument by one turn, or fraction of a turn, of the back-leg could be estimated. In the present form of the instrument the tilt is, however, given to the frame by turning the screw, £, through a known angle. If a be the distance between the bottom of the frame and the point at which the screw acts, 6 the breadth of the frame, and a the semi- vertical angle of the hollow cone, Rk, on which the frame rests, a move- ment of the screw, E, through a distance, h, will tilt the frame through an ON EARTH TREMORS. 295 angle whose circular measure is 2h/(2a—b tana). In the present case a=14'56 inches, b='56 inch, a=44°, and the number of threads on the screw is 100 to the inch. One complete turn of the screw will therefore tilt the frame through an angle of 146-4 seconds. A fractional turn of the screw may be made by the lever, r, which can be clamped to it by a screw in front. The lever ends below in a rectangular plate with ends projecting outwards; and, by two screws working through these ends, and abutting against the stops, G, the range of the lever’s move- ment can be regulated. The length of the lever is 335-5 mm., so that Fig. 4. with the range of movement of 14-4 mm. of the bottom of the lever the tilt given to the frame is exactly one second. It will be useful to give the general arrangement of the instrument now in use in Birmingham. It is erected in a cellar, the plan of which is shown in fig. 4. The pendulum is placed at A on a foundation de- scribed below. The line aB runs east and west. Ten feet west of the pendulum a board, B, is placed on the floor of the cellar. This board, which was used in the experiments at Cambridge, contains a pair of rails on which a carriage with three legs slides, bearing a gas-jet. On the east side of the carriage is a screen, pierced by a circular hole, one inch in diameter, having on the west side a piece of ground glass, and 296 REPORT—1893. on the east side a fine wire. The image of this wire formed by reflexion, first, in the pendulum-mirror, and then in a plane mirror, at ¢,! is ob- served with a telescope, D, furnished with cross-wires and placed in the passage just outside the cellar. A wooden bar, £, is attached at one end to the side of the carriage, and at the other end is graduated to tenths of an inch, the index-pointer being near the floor to the right of the telescope. The carriage is also provided with a screw-motion, which can be worked from the telescope-seat, but it was found unnecessary to use this, as the image can be rapidly and accurately adjusted on the vertical cross-wire of the telescope by gently tapping the end of the graduated bar. When the instrument is in order, nearly all operations can be carried on in the passage without entering the cellar. Strings attached to the two sides of the lever are guided by hooks and brought round to either side of the telescope, so that the angular value of the scale-divisions can be determined without leaving the telescope. The gas-jet also can be lighted from the same place. The only occasion for entering the cellar is to readjust the pendulum when one end of the scale-divisions, which occupy a length of about 9 inches on the graduated bar, approaches the index-pointer. But this can be rapidly done by a slight turn of the screw used for tilting the frame. In a few minutes the image becomes steady, and if this be done about the time of day when the tilt is changing in direction, the movement in so short a time will be so small that it may be safely neglected. The house in which the pendulom is installed lies on the west margin of Birmingham. The rock is Bunter sandstone, but this is covered at the surface by a thick bed of clayey sand, with occasional layers of rounded pebbles. The nearest edge of the road in front of the house is 11 yards from the pendulum. A single-line suburban railway runs in a deep cutting at the bottom of the garden, about 80 yards from the pendulum. But no disturbance has ever been noticed from either pass- ing carts or trains, the short vibrations or tremors produced by them being too rapid to affect the pendulum, and the local bendings of the ground caused by their weight apparently having no effect. The Foundation of the Pendulum.?—A circular hole, 3 feet in diameter, was made to a depth of 84 feet. The bottom of the hole is covered with a layer of concrete, ¢ (fig. 5), 2 ft. 2 in. in thickness, and on the surface of this is placed vertically a cast-iron water-pipe, a, 6 ft. 6 in. long, 103 inches in external diameter, and ,% inch thick, and weighing about 3 cwt.; so that the pipe projects about 2 inches above the cellar floor. A further layer of concrete, nearly 2 feet in thickness, surrounds the bottom of the pipe and keeps it in position, and the pipe itself is also filled with concrete to within 2 feet of the top. The pendulum stands on an iron plate, B, which rests at three points only on top of the pipe; lateral displacement is prevented by pieces projecting a little way down the inside of the iron pipe. In order to isolate the stand from the cellar floor, the iron pipe is surrounded by earth only to abont 2 feet from the top, and then an earthenware drain-pipe, D, is placed surrounding the pipe, leaving an air-space between. The interval between the drain- pipe and the sides of the hole is filled with earth, and the brick pave- 1 This mirror is an ordinary plate-glass looking-glass. It should, however, be made of worked glass, as should also the window of the mirror-box (8, fig. 2). ? This foundation was designed by Mr. Horace Darwin. ON EARTH TREMORS. 297 ment of the cellar is taken up for a few inches round the drain-pipe. A wooden plate, ©, covers the drain-pipe without touching it, and rests only on the cellar floor. Angular Value of Scale-divisions—The pendulum was erected by Mr. Horace Darwin on April 20 and 21. Experiments were made to deter- mine the angular value of the scale-divisions at various times between May 1 and 25, and again between August 1 and 3. The first trials were unsatisfactory, the image seldom returning to the same or nearly the same position. Some of the causes of failure were easily remedied ; but 298 REPORT—1893. even in the latest attempts there is still some slight discrepancy between the positions of the image after successive to-and-fro movements of the lever.! If the bottom of the lever be moved to the left, it is evident that the screw advances and that the frame is tilted to the east. When this is done the movement of the image is at first rapid, but in two or three minutes becomes nearly insensible, and after five minutes no displace- ment of the image can be perceived. In all the later and more satis- factory trials the lever was moved every ten minutes, and in the intervals the gas was turned down. It should be added that in the evenings when these experiments were made the pendulum always indicates a movement to the west. The range of motion of the bottom of the lever was regulated so as to give a tilt of two seconds to the frame, and the corresponding lengths of the scale in inches, as determined on May 24, were as follows :— +702 -—665 47:20 -695 +4666 —6-96 +690 —685 +683 —697 +4694 —6-65 A plus sign indicates a tilt to the west, and a minus sign a tilt to the east. Thus the average of six tilts of two seconds to the west gives 6*92£-05 inches as the corresponding scale-value, and the average of six similar tilts to the east gives 6°842:04 inches. The difference between these two values may no doubt be in part attributed to the westerly tilting of the instrument. If, however, the mean of the scale-values of successive pairs of tilts be taken, the effect of this westerly tilting will be eliminated, if it may be supposed to be uniform throughout the twenty minutes allowed for the to-and-fro movements of the lever and for the subsequent readings. The average of these six means is 6°88+:03 inches. This value is probably the most accurate of the series, and a tilt of one second will therefore be taken to correspond to 3°44 inches of the scale. The distance of the gas-jet from the pendulum being 10 feet, the angle through which the mirror turns for an east or west tilt of one second is therefore | tan-1°'“4 2 120 Since the two parts of the silver wire which support the mirror always lie in the vertical plane through their points of support, the angle through which the mirror turns for a given east or west tilt is inde- pendent of the distance between the mirror-hooks; it depends only on the horizontal and vertical distances between the two points of support of the silver wire. If c be this horizontal distance, and 6 the angle through which the mirror turns for an east or west tilt of one second, it is evident that cO is constant. If « be the decrease in the value of c, due toa given southerly tilt of the frame, and é the corresponding increase in the value of 0, then 6=20/c. Hence, if the frame be tilted through one second in a north and south line, the change in the value of 0@ is 6?, and the corresponding change in the scale-value above given is therefore 7,th of that value. It follows that, in order to make the error small, 6 should be small; that is, the scale should be a long way from the pendulum. The original instrument used in the Cavendish Laboratory experiments was free from this error. It would be possible to replace one of the fine , or 49 minutes. ‘ It is hoped that this discrepancy will disappear with another arrangement of the lever which Mr, Darwin has designed. ON EARTH TREMORS. 299: wires supporting one side of the mirror by two converging wires, and thus to allow it to move only in an east and west direction, and so eliminate this error. It would, however, have the drawback of compli- cating the instrument. If d be the vertical distance between the points of support of the silver wire, it is obvious that the circular measure of one second is ¢@/d, and therefore c=d/2940. In the present instrument d is about 12 inches,. so that the horizontal distance between the points of support is only 0:004 inch. On the first three days of August, the scale-value for a tilt of two seconds was redetermined in the manner described above. The average: scale-values of six pairs of east and west tilts on each evening were 639-03, 6:06:06, and 6:14:08 inches, and the average of the eighteen pairs was 6:20:04 inches. Between the end of May and the beginning of August, the scale-value for one second changed from 3:44 to 3:10 inches, and there must, therefore, have been a tilt towards the north of about seven seconds. Sensitiveness of the Pendulum.—Except on two occasions, which will be referred to below, the image has always been perfectly steady, and chiefly to this is due the extreme delicacy of the pendulum. If the gas- jet be displaced by 2,ths of an inch, the image and the vertical crogs- wire in the telescope are clearly separated, and a displacement of ,35th of an inch of the gas-jet can be easily detected. Thus the scale-value of one second being 3°44 inches, it follows that we can observe a tilt of the ground of less than ;},th of a second ;! and since the pendulum might be rendered more sensitive, and the optical arrangements improved, it would not be impossible to detect a tilt of ;)5th of a second, or even less than this if desired. Observations with the Pendulum.—The principal objects of the experi- ments being to test the working of the instrument, observations were made when convenient, and not at regular intervals. They were made frequently enough, however, to give some idea of the nature of the daily motion. At first the movement indicated appeared to be always to the west, and the observations, though not generally continued later than 10 p.m., showed no trace of a return movement to the east. This westerly tilting, of at first about a second a day, appeared to be chiefly due to the settling of the foundation, and by the end of June became nearly imper- ceptible. Towards the end of May and the beginning of June, observa- tions on the daily movement were made for about two weeks consecutively. The direction of the movement changed from east to west at from 7 to. 9 a.m., and from west to east at from 10 to 12 p.m., but these epochs were altered when the continued westerly tilting ceased. During the middle. of August, the easterly movement lasted till noon or about 2 or 3 P.M. Subsequent experiments, described below, seem to show that this daily movement may be, in part at least, due to the action of convection currents in the oil surrounding the mirror. The pendulum in the Cavendish Laboratory having been extremely sensitive to slight changes of pressure on the floor of the room, it seemed desirable to make some similar experiments with the present instrument. I stood for one minute about a foot and a half west of the pendulum, and, ' An isosceles triangle with a base one inch long and each of the equal sides 1,000» miles would have a vertical angle of about ;1,th of a second. REPORT—1893. returning quickly to the telescope, found there had been an apparent tilting of about one-sixth of a second to the east. Standing for the same time on the east side of the pendulum, there was an apparent tilting to the west. Ata distance from the pendulum these effects were much less marked. After sitting for a short time at the telescope-seat in the passage outside the cellar a somewhat similar, but very slight, effect is noticeable. For about a minute the image remains perfectly steady. It then starts slowly, but rather suddenly, to the right, indicating a movement to the east, the total deflection in eight minutes being about jth of a second. I attributed these movements at first to my weight bending the cellar floor, but some experiments made afterwards at Mr. Darwin’s suggestion showed that they were due rather to changes of temperature, and that the deflections caused by my weight were in reality almost imperceptible. Supposing the foundation to remain fixed, the effects of a change in FIG. 6. & 00 700+ / Gas turne oF | re a ee an a 2 Qo rm FOTN 12 Iwm2 I < 3 6 7 3 I the distribution of temperature might be manifested in two ways—either by the unequal expansion of different parts of the instrument or by con- vection currents in the paraffin oil. Since the gas-jet stands west of the pendulum, the expansion due to its heat would produce an apparent tilting to the east. On the other hand, since the vertical axis about which the mirror turns lies to the south of its centre (see fig. 1) the effect of convection currents on the oil would be to cause an apparent tilting to the west. Thus the initial deflection of the mirror in the pre- ceding experiments appears to be due to expansion. If, however, the heating be continued for some time a retrograde movement sets in. On August 20 the gas was kept alight for six hours, ON EARTH TREMORS. 301 from 9.12 a.m. to 3.12 P.M. ; it was then turned down, and readings were continued for six hours longer. The results are illustrated by the curve in fig. 6. The effect of expansion is shown by the movement to the east for a short time after the gas is lighted, and that of contraction by an increase in the rate of westerly deflection immediately after the gas is turned down. The most important movement is that of more than a second to the west while the gas was up, and to the east when it was turned down. There can be little doubt that it is due to the action of convection currents in the paraflin oil, in which the mirror and frame are immersed. ; An attempt was next made to determine the part of the instrument whose expansion produced the first deflection. For this purpose a card- board box, 12 inches long, 54 inches broad, and 4 inches deep, was filled with hay. It was first placed so as to shield the upper part of the instrument, leaving the mirror-box and levelling-screws uncovered, with the result of preventing the first easterly movement. The gas was kept alight for two hours (11.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.) ; it was then turned low down, and readings were taken at intervals during the next three hours. After one minute the image was seen to the left of the vertical cross-wire, indicating a deflection to the west; and this westerly movement continued at a very nearly uniform rate during the whole time the gas was alight, and also for about half an hour afterwards. Its velocity then rapidly diminished, and after a quarter of an hour an easterly movement set in, whose velocity soon became uniform and equal to that of the westerly movement. ‘The total westerly deflection of the mirror in the first 24 hours was equivalent to a tilt of 14 seconds. The box was then placed resting with its longer side on the wooden cover of the drain-pipe. Strings were tied to each end and brought. round by hooks to the telescope-seat, so that the box could be moved backwards and forwards in front of the mirror-box and levelling-screws. These were shielded by the box from the gas-jet, which was kept alight for two hours (12.40 to 2.40 p.m.). In order to take the readings, the box was drawn to one side for a few seconds and then replaced. Readings were also continued for several hours after the gas was turned down. The resulting curve is similar to that in fig. 6. It follows, there- fore, that the first easterly movement which takes place after the gas is lighted is caused by the expansion of the brass-tube more than by that of the levelling-screws. It is evident from these experiments that the natural movements of the pendulum in its present form and position may be seriously affected by the slight changes of temperature which take place in ordinary cellars. To guard against these, Mr. H. Darwin proposes to alter the mode of suspension of the mirror. The two hooks by which it hangs on the silver wire will be placed in a line at right angles to the plane of the mirror. The instrument will also be protected by a case, and perhaps by immersion in water. For photographic registration, it would be better to use a glow electric lamp, or, better still, an induction-coil spark, instead of a continuously burning gas-jet. A few experiments were made on the bending of the cellar-floor by means of a heavy weight, but without much success. This was due partly to the tilting so caused being nearly or quite masked in the daily movement of the mirror, partly because to move the weight I was obliged to enter the cellar, and frequently approach close to the instrument. The’ 302 REPORT—1893. heavy mass employed is about 84 lb., and consists of a part of the cast-iron pipe of which the foundation is made. When it was placed at successive distances of a foot, from 2 to 9 feet, nearly west of the pendulum, the tilting of the column was inappreciable ; and this was also the case when it was placed alternately at distances of 2 and 9 feet. If, however, it was put alternately nearly west and east of the pendulum, and close to the wooden cover of the drain-pipe, the tilting, though very slight, was perceptible, and apparently in the direction away from the heavy mass. For the reasons above stated, however, the results were not altogether concordant, so that these experiments prove little more than the nearly complete isolation of the stand. Earth Pulsations of June 3 and 6, 1893.—At 5.43 p.m. on June 3 the image was, as usual, perfectly still, and was adjusted to the cross-wire without difficulty. At 6.29, when I went to take the next reading, it was marching slowly and steadily from side to side of the field of view. At first I timed each separate oscillation, and found their period to be nearly regular, and between 15 and 17 seconds in Jength. At this time the range of movement was greatest, but it was impossible to determine its amount exactly, owing to the shifting of the mean position of the image produced by the heat of the gas-jet. The movement continued to be considerable for about five minutes, then it gradually diminished, and b 6.37 was decidedly less, perhaps half that at 6.30. Between 6h. 35m. lds. and 6h. 37m. 40s. the image crossed the wire fourteen times, the average period of the seven complete oscillations being therefore 20°7 seconds. At 6.42 the image had become steady again. I then tried to measure the range of the movement when it was greatest from my recollection of the average limiting positions of the image, and found the scale-value to be 0:44 inch, and the corresponding angular value about }th of a second. At 6.46 the oscillations began again, and continued from this time until 8.13, with a few short intervals, when they either ceased or were almost imperceptible; but throughout this time the range was always very small, never, I believe, exceeding .),th of a second. The oscillations were also more constant in range and in their mean position, so that the range could be determined by making the image in each limiting position coincide with the cross-wire. Between 6h. 48m. 40s. and 6h. 53m. 40s. there were sixteen complete oscillations, giving an average period for each of 18°8 seconds. At 6.56 the range was about ;1,th of a second, and at 7.8 about ,),th of a second. After this the oscillations became smaller, and it could just be seen that the image was in motion. This continued until just before 7.19, when the movement became greater again and more regular. Between 7h. i9m. Os. and 7h. 25m. 43s. there were twenty complete oscillations, the average period being 20-2 seconds; and the range immediately after the latter time was about th of a second. Then the oscillations again decreased, and at 7.36 the image was nearly steady, occasionally being just visible on one side or other of the cross-wire. Between 7h, 42m. 58s. and 7h. 45m. 50s. there were five complete oscilla- tions, but the movement was so slight that one or two of them may have been missed. At 7°54 I left the cellar, returning about ten minutes later. About 8.8 the last series of oscillations began. Between 8h. 8m. 15s. and Sh. 11m. 20s. ten complete oscillations were counted, the average period being 18-5 seconds, and the range immediately afterwards was found to be about 35th of asecond. After 8.13, though I watched almost con- ON EARTH TREMORS. 303 tinuously for two hours and a half, no further oscillations were percep- tible, and the usual steady movement was resumed. Another series of pulsations was observed on June 6 at 7.21 a.m., and lasting nearly an hour, but I was unable at this time to watch them carefully. From 7.0 to 7.8 the image was perfectly steady, At 7.21, when I went down to the cellar again, and for about ten minutes after- wards, it was performing oscillations even more extensive than on the previous occasion, but it was again not possible to measure the exact range owing to the variable limiting positions. Between 7h. 32m. 25s. and 7h. 35m. 22s. there were nine complete oscillations, the average length being 19°7 seconds. At the end of this interval the range had decidedly diminished. At 7.45, from my recollection of the limiting positions of the image, I found the maximum range to be about 4 second; and I do not think this estimate can be much in error. By 7.55 the range had diminished to about 1; second (measured). At 8.7 the movement was almost imperceptible, and ten minutes later the image was steady again. It is probable that these earth-pulsations were the dying-out vibrations from some distant and severe earthquakes, but I have not been able to identify them with any particular shocks. On May 23 a violent earth- quake was felt at Thebes, in Greece, laying a great part of the city in ruins, and it is stated that shocks were felt daily for some time afterwards. Some of these may possibly have produced the earth-pulsations observed on June 3 and 6. Horizontal Pendulum of Dr. E. von Rebeur-Paschwitz. Dr. von Rebeur-Paschwitz’s horizontal pendulum is a modified form of Professor Zollner’s, which is described in the Report for 1881, pp. 112-114. The principal difference consists in the method of suspension of the pendulum, the two stretched springs of Professor Zéllner’s instru- ment being replaced by steel points working in agate cups, which allow a nearly frictionless motion. In the following pages the pendulum used by Dr. von Rebeur-Paschwitz is first described, and this is followed by an account of the improvements suggested to him by the experience of several years’ work with the instrument.! The heavy cast-iron tripod-stand of the pendulum consists of a low cylindrical vessel, on which, at equal distances apart, are three projec- tions for the reception of the foot-screws, the whole being cast in one piece. The cylinder is open at the top, and, after the instrament is adjusted, is covered with a closely-fitting bell-glass. The screws have a pitch of 0°36 mm., and are provided with large heads, so that a very small change may be given by them to the level of the stand. The distance between each pair of screws is 435 mm. Exactly half-way between two of the foot-screws ard opposite the third is an opening in the cylinder, which is closed by a plano-concave lens, 75 mm. in diameter, and about 4°6 m. in focal length, the optical axis of the lens being horizontal and directed towards the centre of the tripod-stand.? 1 The pendulum is described in Dr, E. von Rebeur-Paschwitz’s valuable memoir, Das Horizontalpendel, &c., pp. 17-41. The suggested improvements are contained in pp. 213-216 of the same memoir, and also in letters to members of this Com- mittee. ? The lens is used for photographic registration ; for direct vision it is replaced by a plane glass. 304 REPORT— 1893. The support of the pendulum (fig. 7) is arranged symmetrically with respect to the diameter of the tripod-stand, which passes through the third foot-screw. It consists of a strong rectangular frame, a, the plane of which is parallel to the lens above mentioned (whose position is shown by the circle in the figure), and is screwed to the hase of the tripod-stand behind the lens. It carries two horizontal cylinders, 3, B, one lying vertically over the other, which can be turned round their axes with considerable friction. In the middle of the cylinders are very fine steel points, c,¢ (shown projecting upwards in the figure). These are screwed to the cylinders, so that they are perpendicular to their axes, and project only a little way from their surfaces. The vertical distance between the axes of the cylinders is 68 mm. Fig. 7. bgt ps: Yj KX The pendulum is made completely of brass in the form of an isosceles triangle (fig. 8). D, £, Fare thin tubes; H, a small weight attached at the vertex of the triangle. At Pp and Q are two small spherical agate cups, 2°5 mm. in radius, their centres being 68 mm. apart. The steel points against which the cups rest also project from the axes of the cylinders by 2°5 mm., so that in every position the points are perpendi- cular to the tangent-planes to the cups. The rod, x, which projects per- pendicularly from the tube, r, has a perforation, t, in the direction P Q for the reception of a kmife-edge, on which the pendulum can be sus- pended in a vertical position. mM isa mirror which projects through the ON EARTH TREMORS. 305 frame of the support, and can be rotated about the axis of a rod, Nn, parallel to Pq. The weight of the whole pendulum is 42 grammes, and the distance of the centre of gravity, G, from the axis of rotation is 100 mm. Immediately beneath the mirror, M, and in the same plane with it, a fixed mirror, m’ (fig. 7), is attached to the tripod-stand, and can be rotated about a horizontal and vertical axis from outside the instrument. To adjust the pendulum the mirror, M, is fixed on the rod, N, so that its surface is approximately perpendicular to the axis of the triangle. The centre of gravity, G, of the whole pendulum is next brought into that axis by supporting the pendulum at two points of the axis, near L and 4H, and by displacing the small weight, 1. The cylinders, 8, B, are then rotated until the steel points are directed towards the agate cups, and are parallel respectively to the lines GP and qa. This can be done with sufficient accuracy by the eye by applying a cardboard triangle of the form GpQ. When the pendulum is suspended the arrangement is therefore such that the pressure is directed perpendicularly to the cups, and there is consequently no tendency to slip. Fie. 8. Two stops are fixed to the tripod-stand to prevent the pendulum up- setting. One of these stops consists of a tube directed towards the pendulum, and communicating on the outside of the tripod-stand with an indiarubber tube and bellows, so that the pendulum can be made to oscillate by the observer. The other stop is a vertical rod a little longer than the pendulum, and carrying at the upper end a small horizontal knife-edge. On this the pendulum can be suspended in a vertical position by means of the perforation at L, and the knife-edge then agrees nearly with the direction of the true axis of rotation. By finding the period of oscillation in this position the constant required for the reduction of the observations when the axis is in an inclined position can be deter- mined with all desirable accuracy. The apparatus for photographic registration is placed about 4} metres north of the pendulum. The source of light is a petroleum lamp capable of burning fourteen hours, and enclosed in an opaque case. In this there is a movable vertical slit, 20 mm. in length, through which the light passes to the lens! of the pendulum apparatus. The lamp-case 1 In the more recent experiments at Strassburg, the plane mirror, M, attached to the pendulum is replaced by a concave mirror, and this renders the use of the lens superfluous. 1893. x 306 REPORT—1893. is mounted on a small iron stand, whose position can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally, and the stand is cemented to a pillar. By the side of the lamp is placed the recording apparatus. The photographic paper is wrapped round a horizontal roller, 20 cm. long and 564 em. in circumference, which is turned round with considerable friction on its axis once in fifty hours, the paper being held fast to the roller by two bars. Parallel to the roller, and at the same height as its axis, is a cylindrical lens, 20 em. long and 5 em. in focal length. After reflexion at the pendulum-mirror, M, and a double passage through the lens in front of it, the pencil of light sent out from the slit is focussed by the cylindrical lens to a fine point on the surface of the photographic paper. An image is also formed by reflexion from the fixed mirror, mw’, and, by rotation of that mirror, can be brought into any desired position. This fixed point of light records a straight line on the photographic paper, and is also used for marking the time, the light being shut off for five minutes at the beginning of each hour by a small screen moved by the clockwork. The recording apparatus is mounted on a heavy cast- iron plate, through which pass the cords of the weight and the pendulum of the driving-clock. It is covered by a wooden box, closed at the top by a lid, and having in front a horizontal slit for the passage of the light. The lamp is changed twice a day; and, two being used, a fresh one can be inserted in the case by a slide without appreciable loss of time. Thus, when once well adjusted, the working of the instrument requires very little attention. Suggested Alterations.—The sensitiveness of a given horizontal pen- dulum increases with its period of oscillation, and this is greater the smaller the inclination of the axis to the vertical.!' The difficulty of obtaining and preserving very fine steel points therefore imposes a limit to the sensitiveness of the instrument. In order to preserve the form of the points, it is desirable that the pendulum should be as light as possible. It should therefore be made of aluminium, whose specific gravity is about {yths that of brass. This would at the same time reduce still further the little friction that exists. The distance between the steel points might also be increased with advantage to double its present value, or even to 20 em., without altering the distance of the centre of gravity from the axis of rotation. The two lateral foot-serews should be removed and their places taken by screws for adjusting the position of the lower of the two steel points. The third foot-screw, which regulates the sensitiveness of the pendulum, should also be replaced by a screw for adjusting the position of the upper steel point. In the original instrument, if the parts of the foot-screws projecting downwards are of unequal lengths, a temperature-correction must be introduced ; but with the removal of the foot-screws this may be rendered unnecessary. The head of the screw which regulates the position of the upper steel point should be provided with divisions and an index, so that the axis of rotation may be tilted through a known angle. The period of oscillation (Ty) of the pendulum in a horizontal position of the axis may then be determined indirectly as follows. If T, and T, be the periods of 1 If T, be the period of oscillation when the axis is horizontal, T that when the axis is inclined at an angle, i, to the vertical, T?=T,? cosec @. ON EARTH TREMORS. 307 oscillation when the axis is inclined at angles i, and i, to the vertical, we have the following equations :— Me Ba tan } (t2+7,)=tan } (42—7,) Th and To=T\V sin 7;=ToV sin 7. Thus, T,, Ty, and 7,—7, being known, we can find 7,, 7, and con- sequently T,. When the point of light leaves the photographic paper, the pen- dulum has to be readjusted by turning the foot-screws. This always Fig. 9. produces a certain change of stress, which it is desirable to avoid, espe- cially as in some places the movement is so great that such corrections are necessary every few days. By the employment of a ‘ correcting-mirror,’ which can be turned by screws, the point of light can be brought back to the middle of the roller by the observer without touching or approaching the instrument. The arrangement will be evident from fig. 9. Tt would be a great advantage if the length of the roller used for the photographic records were increased, and an arrangement devised for displacing the roller in the direction of its axis, so that the same paper could be used during two consecutive rotations. The rapidity of rota- x2 308 REPORT—1893. tion of the roller might also be increased, so as to give a more detailed representation of the recorded movements. Oombination of two Pendulums in Perpendicular Planes.—The method of arranging two pendulums in perpendicular planes is shown in fig. 9. A, and A, are the pendulums in the planes of the meridian and prime vertical respectively, M, and Mm, their mirrors. The light enters in the direction of the dotted line through a lens of about 4m. focal length at B, and returns after reflection along the same course. C, and Cy are the correcting-mirrors of the two pendulums, D a tixed mirror at right angles to the path of the light. All three mirrors can be rotated from outside the apparatus about a vertical and horizontal axis. s, and s, are screws for the longitudinal correction of the lower steel points of the two pendulums, T, and 1, screws for the lateral correction of the upper steel points. The lamp and roller are, as et before, placed side by side. When the Tt preteen ee apparatus is properly adjusted no cor- i Tar, rections are necessary, except those required for the rotation of the correct- ing-mirrors, in order to keep the points of light on the middle of the roller. Combination of two Pendulums in the sume Plane.—As already remarked, the length of the period of oscillation and consequently the sensitiveness of the pendulum are limited by the diffi- culty of obtaining very fine steel points. By arranging two exactly similar pen- dulums in one plane, as shown in fig. 10, we can obtain four times the exac- io titude of registration without increas- : ing the sensitiveness of the pendulums. A, and A, are the pendulums, mM, and M, their mirrors inclined at angles of 45° to the common axis of the pendu- lums and at right angles to one another. The light passes through the : slit, s, and after double reflection by it : the mirrors, and refraction by the lens, SS ee a ee ee B, forms two images at c, andc,. If nicki. there be any change of level or of the vertical in a direction inclined to the common axis of the pendulums, both are equally deflected towards the same side of the axis. The angle between the mirrors alters by double this deflection, and the distance between the images C, and ¢, is four times as great as would be produced by the employment of a single pendulum and fixed mirror. This greater accuracy of registration would be of great advantage in investigations on small movements such as are produced by the influence of the moon.

Account of Observations made with the Horizontal Pendulum. By Dr. E. von Reseur-PascHwitz. In reply to the invitation of the Committee to furnish an account of the results obtained by myself with the horizontal pendulum, I have the pleasure of submitting the following outlines. In 1887, during some preliminary experiments with a rather roughly constructed instrument at Karlsruhe, I noticed that the motions of a horizontal pendulum placed in the E. W. plane in one of the cellars of the ‘Technische Hochschule were sufficiently regular to permit the applica- tion of continuous photographic registration. "With few exceptions, the pendulum, though entirely at liberty to swing, when observed through a telescope from a distance of 44m. always appeared to be at rest. When this was not the case, the oscillations performed were generally very small, and so regular that it was easy to observe the elongations, and thus obtain a very accurate value of the mean position of the pendulum. The vibrations of the ground caused by traffic, which were sometimes very noticeable owing to the situation of the cellar next to one of the greatest thoroughfares of the town, never appeared to have any other effect than 310 REPORT—1893. to produce a slight vertical swing of the mirror attached to the end of the pendulum. The position of equilibrium received no alteration whatever. After having placed the pendulum in the plane of the meridian, a successful attempt was made to photograph its movements, the instru- mental arrangement being very similar to that which is generally employed in registering the variations of the magnetic elements. During the above observations, which only extended over a short interval of time, a daily oscillation was the most important part of the motions of the pendulum. I therefore employed the name of ‘ zero- point’ for the mean position of the day, not expecting that at other places the irregular movements of the zero-point would far exceed those due to the daily period. The application of the word ‘ zero-point’ may thus not appear very appropriate. I have, however, retained it during all the farther investigations in order to avoid confusion, and because the character of the changes of the zero-point would not be better represented if one were to speak of ‘irregular’ or ‘secular’ changes. In 1888 a grant from the Prussian Academy of Sciences allowed me to undertake observations on a more extended scale. Two horizontal pendulums, which have heen in use up to the present time, were carefully constructed by Messrs. Repsold, of Hamburg, whilst the necessary photo- graphic apparatus was furnished by Mr. Wanschaff, of Berlin. In. 1891 both instruments received small alterations, reference to which will be made later on. Observations at Potsdam and Wilhelmshaven.—In November 1888 a column was erected in a circular cellar situated below the east tower of the Astrophysical Observatory at Potsdam. One of the pendulums was placed in it with its plane in the meridian, and was at first observed by the aid of a telescope from a distance of 4°7m. Different degrees of sensitiveness were given to the instrament in order to study the regularity of the motions, It was found during these trials that the period of oscillation of the pendulum is very dependent on the magnitude of the amplitude, even when the latter is quite within the limits which in an ordinary pendulum ensure the isochronism of the oscillations. Later experi- ments at Strassburg, which Professor Becker was kind enough to make for me by using a chronograph, showed that the formula T=T)+C a, in which C is a constant, represents the observed values of T in a satisfactory way. The correction Ca is rather large when the period of oscillation is great, and has to be taken account of if one wishes to obtain an accurate value of To, which is the constant required for reducing the observations. As it is impossible to make good observa- tions of T when a is very small, a ought always to be observed at the same time in order to be able to compute C and T). Further experiments were made to try the effect of weights deposited in the neighbourhood of the column. Its foundation was about 90 cm. below the floor of the cellar, and a ditch was left free round it. Notwith- standing these precautions, a considerable tilting of the column of about 07 was caused, when a weight of 100 kilogrammes was moved from one side of the ditch to the other. This tilting did not take place suddenly, but required a considerable time, just as the soil did to recover its former state after the pressure had been removed. When a person walked slowly round the space contained between the ON EARTH TREMORS. 311 double circular wall of the cellar, which is a circle of about 6 m. diameter, the corresponding motion of the pendulum was still distinctly visible. This effect of pressure formed a simple means of setting the pendulum swinging, when it was necessary to determine the period of oscillation. It follows from these observations that the neighbourhood of the column carrying a horizontal pendulum ought to be guarded against receiving any additional weights during the course of observations. On the other hand, it was observed that the turning of the dome which covers the east tower of the observatory had no disturbing influence on the horizontal position of the pendulum, though the vibra- tions of the soil could be distinctly felt by the observer. An experiment was also made to mitigate certain effects of micro- seismic movements. In the first days of February 1889 a strong gale was blowing, and the pendulum was found to be in a very disturbed state. When trying to photograph the curve a broad and very irregular band was obtained, which showed that the pendulum was not only constantly swinging, but that it was subject to certain small changes of the vertical. A point was fixed to the free end of the pendulum pointing downward into a dish containing a mixture of water and glycerine. Although the point only just touched the liquid, the pendulum was now unable to swing, but the slow motions of its plane of equilibrium took place as before. Photographs were taken for about a fortnight, and a very remarkable case of earth pulsations, to which I will refer later, was observed during this period. But, unfortunately, I was obliged to abolish the glycerine, because it was evident that the position of the pendulum was influenced by certain molecular effects. After these preliminary experiments, observations were taken between April 1 and June 6, and again from June 18 until the end of September 1889. The column and pendulum were protected by a strong wooden box nailed with tinfoil, which also covered the ditch and only contained a small window, through which the light passed, and through which it was possible to get at the foot-screws of the pendulum. The photographic apparatus and lamp stood in a passage connecting the cellar with another one lying to the north of the former, and were separated by a door, which was also nailed with tinfoil and had two slits for the light to pass. This door was only opened when it became necessary to bring the light point back to the middle of the drum. On such occasions a thermometer hanging near the column was read, and the same was done in the adjoin- ing passage every other day when the paper was changed. During the summer the temperature of the passage in which the lamp was burning constantly was generally 1° or 2° C. higher than that of the cellar. The door connecting the passage with the cellar to the north of it was only opened twice every day, when the lamps or the paper had to be changed. At Wilhelmshaven the horizontal pendulum stood in a cellar of the Imperial Naval Observatory, whilst the rest of the apparatus was placed in an adjoining cellar lying to the south of the first. Openings were made in the wall to let the light pass. All arrangements were very similar to those described for Potsdam. Professor Boergen, the director of the observatory, and his former assistant, Dr. Eschenhagen, very kindly undertook to do all the work connected with the observations, and these were carried on from March 7 until October 5. Amongst the several difficulties which at first presented themselves, and caused several inter- ruptions of the observations, the most serious arose from the excessive 312 REPORT—1893. moisture of the air in these cellars. The slightest difference of tempera- ture was sufficient to produce dew on the glasses, and for a long time during the months of May and June, when the temperature of the air was rising quickly, observations became quite impossible. Observations at Puerto Orotava, Teneriffe—The third station where I was able to try the horizontal pendulum was at Puerto Orotava, on the island of Teneriffe. The Spanish houses in this country do not have any underground cellars, but through the kindness of an English lady, Mrs. C. Smith, the widow of a well-known resident of the Canary Islands, a small chemical laboratory on her grounds, which had been empty for many years, was placed at my disposal. The estate bears the name ‘ Sitio del Pardo,’ and is well known to all English visitors of the place, many of whom may have noticed the little laboratory, because it is covered with a most beautiful specimen of a white creeping rose. The Sitio occupies the eastern flanks of an old lava stream, which runs from the Montafieta de la Horeca to the north towards the sea, and forms a platform akove the Puerto on which a large hotel is now built. The nature of the volcanic soil did not allow a similar foundation for the instrument as was offered by the cellars at Potsdam and Wilhelms- haven. Instead of making a hole into the ground I preferred to erect it on the cemented floor of the little laboratory, which is on the same level with the outer grounds, with the exception of the east side, where the ground is higher. The little building, the direction of which very nearly agrees with the magnetic meridian, is divided into two rooms, of which the one to the south was used to place the horizontal pendulum, whilst the one to the north was reserved for the photographic apparatus. A door leading from the former into the garden was closed by masonry work, and another one connecting the two rooms received only the necessary openings for the light to pass. Thus the pendulum was guarded as much as possible against all disturbances. Observations were begun on December 26, 1890, and continued without any interruption until April 27. Mauch trouble arose from the bad quality of the petroleum. The lamps, which had burned fourteen hours and more at the first two stations, had to be con- stantly watched, and many hours of observation were lost. This, however, was of no importance for the final reduction of the observations, because the extreme regularity of the motions of the pendulum at this station always permitted the gaps to be filled up by interpolation. The following paper, ‘Das Horizontalpendel und seine Anwendung zur Beobachtung der absoluten und relativen Richtungsinderungen der Lothlinie,’! contains all the readings taken from the photographic curves by the aid of a glass scale. RESUtrtSs. A preliminary study of the first two sets of observations shows that the investigation might be divided as follows: I. The influence of the moon ; II. The daily oscillation and its changes; IIJ. The motion of the zero-point ; IV. Seismological phenomena and others of a more incidental character. T. The Influence of the Moon.—Since Professor G. H. Darwin and his brother, Mr. Horace Darwin, made their well-known experiments at the 1 Nova Acta der hais. Leop. Carol. Acad, 1x. Nr. 1. ON EARTH TREMORS. 313 Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge, no observer is likely to expect much from a short series of observations, however complete it may be, for the demonstration of gravitational or tidal effects of the moon. Holding this view, I was much surprised to find, when first inspecting the photographs, that in the curves obtained at Wilhelmshaven a lunar wave was distinctly visible, which produced a decided change in the general aspect of the curves in different phases of the moon. This led me to make a careful reduction, with the object of finding a lunar wave in all the three sets of observations. The final results of this investigation I have lately pub- lished in No. 3169 of the ‘ Astronomische Nachrichten.’ But as it re- quired a good deal of calculation before the conclusions there given were arrived at, it may be useful to say a few words about the way in which the influence of the moon has been determined. We owe to Professor Darwin the evaluation of the principal effects the moon may produce on the solid earth, apart from the well-known deflections of the plumb-line due to the tidal forces of the moon. All these different indirect and direct lunar influences form a complex pheno- menon, the general forms of which have to be ascertained before one may try to analyse it. ‘The first object of our investigation, therefore, is to find whether the observations require the assumption of a lunar wave, what is its form and its position referred to the meridian passage of the moon, and how the size of the wave varies with the declination of the moon. The problem is apparently identical with the problem of the ocean tides, if, instead of the heights of the water, the ordinates of the curves are introduced. The same method might therefore be employed which was indicated by Professor Darwin and Professor Boergen for the reduc- tion of the ocean tides. But there is this difference between tidal obser- vations and observations of the plumb-line, that in the former the principal changes in the height of the water are due to the attraction of the sun and moon, the mean level remaining very nearly constant, whilst in the latter the changes due to solar and lunar influence are extremely small compared with the periodical changes which arise from thermal effects and the very marked variations of the mean daily position of the plumb- line. Thus the principal difficulty in reducing a set of observations with the object of determining the lunar influence is to eliminate as much as possible the zero-point and the daily period. The following is a very simple method for eliminating the zero- point, which I constantly employed in determining the mean daily oscil- lation of a group of days. It gives very satisfactory results provided that care be taken to exclude such days on which the motion of the zero- point is too irregular to admit the assumption of a simple mathematical formula. If fo, fi, . - - fo3 is a series of twenty-four equidistant values, which in the present case would represent the means of a number of single readings of the curves, it is always possible, when the readings form an uninterrupted series, to add to those twenty-four values the following six: f_3, fo, tis - - - fos fos» fos, the meaning of which is clear from the suffixes given. These thirty values may be represented with sufficient accuracy by the following formula :— : 23\? janet (--B) +h (pS) on 314 REPORT—1893. in which the first part contains the changes due to the variation of the zero-point and P all periodical changes.

But as the daily period is in itself very variable, and depends on the radiation of the sun at the place of observation, these latter changes must be entirely eliminated before the changes produced by the superposition of the lunar wave can be distinctly recognised. Judging from my own experiments, I believe that the variation of the daily period, which is due to meteorological changes, forms the most serious obstacle to this investigation. The gravitational deflections of the plumb- line are large enough to be discovered by the horizontal pendulum But it requires a very long set of observations to reduce the meteorological effects sufficiently in the mean results to make the former visible. In my investigation contained in No. 5169 of the ‘Astr. Nachr.’ I have availed myself of the three sets of observations, containing 159, 161, and 128 days respectively, of twenty-four readings each.! For each day the time of the upper meridian passage of the moon was taken from the almanac, and groups were formed of those days for which C agrees within one hour. Thus, each set of observations was divided into twenty- four groups. If we distinguish these by the letters a, b, c, d,.. ., a, for instance, contained all days with C between 0 hours 0 minutes and 1 hour 0 minutes; d, all days with C between 3 hours 0 minutes and 4 hours 0 minutes; ae soon. I then proceeded to form other groups by taking the means 3 (a+b+c), 4 (b+c+d),...&c. This was done because the number of days contained in each set of observations was too small to eliminate in a satisfactory manner the irregularities of the curves. The twenty-four sets of twenty-four mean hourly values each were now treated as described above, the values of 3 and y were calculated, and the necessary corrections applied, so as to obtain the purely periodical part P,, of the observations. From the resulting numbers, the harmonic con- stants a, b were computed, supposing the daily oscillation to be repre- sented by the expression a, cos t+, sint+ a, cos 2¢ + b, cos 2¢+ 4a, cos 3¢ + b, sin 3¢ + a, cos 4¢ + D, sin 4¢, in which ¢ is either Greenwich mean time or local time. A deflection of the plumb-line to the east of its normal position is considered as positive. In deducing the constants a, b account had to be taken of the process of 1 The readings were taken for the beginning of each hour of Greenwich mean time for the first two sets of observations, and of local time for the third set. ON. EARTH TREMORS. 315 forming groups, certain enlarging factors being applied, as is done in the reduction of tides. When these results had been obtained it immediately appeared that all the constants down to the smallest terms presented more or less con- siderable periodic changes.

It is evident that these two periodical changes pre- sent an entirely different character. In the first case a, and b, vary with each other,? and the changes are proportional to the mean values of these constants. Putting m, cos (M,—+?) in place of a, cost+b, sin#, there is no considerable change in M,. In the second case the changes of a, and b, are independent of each other, but of about the same range, and the phase is subject to considerable fluctuations. It is immediately seen that the variations in ay, b, are due to the superposition of a lunar wave, which moves on as C changes, whilst the variations in a,, b, may be very nearly represented by a periodical change of m, alone. Similar observations may be made in comparing any of the twenty-four lists of coefficients printed in the ‘ Astr. Nachr.’ There are several cases in which the influence of a lunar term is easily recognised, and others in which it is easy to see that both causes act together to produce periodical changes. When treating of the daily period it will be shown that the range of } Expressed in units of 0/0020. 2 Expressed in units of 0’’-0028. ’ This is not quite so evident in the values of a; on account of their smallness. and irregularity. 316 REPORT—1893. motion is on an average very nearly proportional to either the quantity of sunshine or the maximum oscillation of the temperature during the day. Though one might expect that in a series of observations of more than half a year’s length, grouped in such a regular way as here, meteorological effects would be sufficiently eliminated, this is really not the case. In comparing the meteorological data with the results mentioned above, it was found that the first class of periodical changes can be explained to a great extent by meteorological changes. The best way to avoid these disturbing influences would be to place the horizontal pendulum in the bottom of a mine, where the effects of meteorological changes are reduced to a minimum whilst, as far as we may judge, the lunar effects must remain the same as on the surface of the earth. Since every periodical change in the coefficients a, b can be considered as the combined effect of changes of the first and second kind, it is im- possible to decide in the cases of the two stations at Potsdam and Puerto Orotava, where the effects of temperature appear to be especially strong, which part is due to the first, and which to the second, cause. We must content ourselves with the following result: The comparison of the ob- served temperatures with the harmonic constants of the daily oscillation shows that the former play an important part in producing periodical variations in the latter. But, on the other hand, there is some evidence of the existence of a small lunar wave in both places, amounting to 0/01, or probably more. I do not hesitate to express the opinion that if it had been possible to continue the observations through a longer interval of time, and thus to eliminate the effects of temperature, a more positive result would have been obtained. In a former investigation,! in which I employed the usual method of tide reduction without having regard to the motion of the zero-point and the variation of the daily period, numerical values of a supposed semi- diurnal wave caused by the moon have been computed. These values agreed pretty well with the formula representing the ordinary gravita- tional deflections of the plumb-line, for whilst we find the semi-diurnal wave to be +0/0142 cos (24—247°'5) and +0/-0128 cos (2t—228°°5) for Potsdam and Puerto Orotava respectively, the formule of deflection are :— +0':0099 cos (2t—270°) and +0':0142 cos (2t—270°). Until farther researches have been made, it seems advisable not to place too much confidence in these numbers, though it is not impossible, from the way in which they were computed, that they represent a near approach to the real values. Whilst we now see that the observations obtained at Potsdam and at Orotava were insufficient to demonstrate the effects of the moon on the plumb-line, the third series of observations at Wilhelmshaven, as might be expected after the preliminary investigation mentioned above, led to a positive result of some interest. It will be shown later on that at Wil- helmshaven, though the range of the daily oscillation is extremely variable, there does not exist such a clear relation between it and the 1 See Das Horizontalpendel, &c. pp. 87-104. ON EARTH TREMORS. 317 meteorological phenomena as in the two former cases. In consequence the effect of variability of the daily period is much better eliminated, and it makes little difference if, in computing the lunar terms, one takes account of it or not. The following expression was deduced by a simple transformation from the original values of a, b, after expressing each of the eight series as an harmonic function of C. The form in which it is given is, of course, entirely empirical. Thus the changes in the coefficients, which here depend cn C, in reality probably depend on the declination of the moon. All uncertain terms I have suppressed, and only retain those the exist- ence of which is demanded by the observations. 9°5 (= 1:12)+4+41°9 (+ 2:43) cos (C—268°'7) { +20°8 (+ 2°25) cos (29-1641) cos (t{—C—121°'8) ! +245 (E 2:43) cos (80 —260°-4) + {45:0 (= 0°95) +10°5 (£1:97) cos (C—194°'8) } cos (24—-20—341°'3) + { 9:1 (= 0°50) +412:1 (+ 0°71) cos (20— 50°°9)} cos (44—40 —332°'0) In comparing the above expression with the lunar term computed by the first simpler method, which is 45:4 cos (2t—2C —345°-7), it is seen that it contains a nearly identical term. Considering this alone, we find that it represents a semi-diurnal deflection of the plumb-line, the eastern excursion of which takes place on an average a little more than half an hour before the meridian passage of the moon, or about 1} hour before high water. The observatory lies on the west side of the Fahde- busen, at a distance of about 200 m. from high-water mark, whilst the station for tidal observations is a good deal more to the south, at the entrance of the harbour. Accordingly the semi-diurnal term might be ex- plained in a pretty satisfactory way by the pressure of the tides, which on an average rise toa height of 35 m. at Wilhelmshaven. This would certainly be a very strong effect of tidal depression compared with the theoretical results obtained by Professor Darwin in his researches ; but as the soil is of a marshy character, and apparently very elastic, such an effect would not appear impossible. The present results, however, seem to tell against such an explana- tion ; for, if it were the tides that produce by their pressure the lunar terms, a close connection between these and the form of the tides ought to be established, which is not the case. In fact, the very large term of the first order, which is perhaps the best determined of all, and which is all the more remarkable, because, according to our computation, it changes the sign, reminds one of the corresponding lunar tide, which, though playing an important part in many places in the world, is comparatively small on the coasts of Germany. Tt seems advisable to postpone a discussion of the above facts until farther observations undertaken at some suitable place shall have placed them beyond doubt. Perhaps few places in the world would offer a better ‘ Expressed in units of 0''-0028.

The following formula expresses, in the same unit as above, the ordi- nary lunar deflection of the plumb-line ; and it will be remarked that the latter is very small compared with the observed deflections :— 5:0 sin 26 cos ((—270°)+3°7 cos? 6 cos (2t—270°), where 6 is the moon’s declination.

The Daily Oscillation and its Changes-—The most prominent feature in the curves is a daily oscillation, which, from the agreement between the observations taken at three different places under varied conditions, must be considered as a phenomenon of a universal, and not of a local, cha- racter. If we take the means of all the observations the daily motion of the horizontal pendulum, which, when it is placed in the meridian, repre- sents the east-west component of the motion of an ordinary pendulum, is ~ described in the following table :-— ' These values refer to Greenwich mean time, whilst in the formula ¢ has been redaced to local time.

Whilst the epochs of elongation do not differ much from the mean values within a small number of days, they appear to be subject to an annual change. But owing to the observations being incomplete the character of this annual variation is not sufficiently well-determined. Thus, at Orotava, during four months of observations in winter, we find that in the earlier part (December) the maximum deflections occur about two hours later than towards the end (April). At Wilhelmshaven the eastern elongation is earlier in spring and autumn than in midsummer, whilst at Potsdam there is no very marked change. The range of motion (a) was found to be much more variable, and it was interesting to compare it with the maximum oscillation of tempera- ture (@) during the day as well as with the observations on sunshine (S) and clouds (Cl).

But I must not omit to remark that the single days do not show this coincidence equally well. For cloudy days occur with a large range of oscillation, and clear days with a small range. At Wilhelmshaven, though we find that a similar relation is indicated, it is not so well marked. If we neglect the first three and the last three lines in the above table, which rest on a small number of days only, the range of motion appears to be very nearly constant. It is this cireumstance which allowed the lunar wave to be determined with much more accu- racy than in either of the two other cases. The above results make it evident that the daily oscillation is toa great extent due to thermal effects of the sun. Probably there are other causes acting besides, but temperature and radiation are certainly the principal agents. Owing to this fact it would be quite useless to try and study the tidal effects of the sun. How this thermal effect takes place remains as yet an open ques- tion. It seems quite impossible to connect the observed oscillation with purely local influences, such as we constantly observe in our astronomical observatories. It would certainly be a most extraordinary chance if the radiation of the sun should produce such similar effects on the foundations in three places, so entirely different from each other respecting all conditions. I may mention besides that a few observations made at Karlsruhe in 1887 and recent observations by Professor Kortazzi at Nicolaiew show the general character of the curve to be the same in those two places as we have found it. Until further researches have been made, we may therefore consider the daily oscillation of the plumb-line as a general phenomenon all over the surface of the earth, and consequently it would afford great in- terest to study it at a number of places equally distributed over it and with as varied conditions as possible. The question naturally arises whether these motions which we must consider as motions of the soil are still noticeable at a certain depth below the surface. We ought not to expect this, according to what has just been said; but, on the other hand, the law of continuity makes it difficult to understand how they should disappear quite near the sur- face, at a depth down to which the daily change of temperature pene- trates, when they are still so noticeable in such a place as the cellar of the Potsdam Observatory. Ihave had no chance until now of trying this interesting experi- ON EARTH TREMORS. 321 ment. But, during the observations at Wilhelmshaven, Professor Boergen at my request had readings taken twice a day of the level of the meridian circle to see if the daily oscillation could be noticed there as well. The result of one mdnth’s observations was that there was no appreciable difference. The pier of the meridian circle rises from a mass of sand, which forms the subsoil of the marshy ground round Wilhelmshaven, down to a depth of more than 250 m. The walls of the observatory as well as the column of the pendulum have their foundation in a layer of clay of 2m. or3 m. thickness, which is divided from the sand by a layer of turf-like material, about 1 m. thick. Perhaps, if one does not prefer to attach no importance to the indications of the water level when treating of so small angular quantities, we may conclude from the above result that only the upper layer of clay, which presses on the elastic turf, par- takes of the oscillation. Tl. The Motion of the Zero-point.—Next to the daily oscillation a par- ticular interest is attached to the motion of the zero-point, for by studying it we may hope to learn something about the slow secular changes which we know take place constantly all over the earth, though the number of places is small where they are noticeable to the eye within a small in- terval of time. For this purpose it is desirable to have an uninterrupted series of observations, or at least, where interruptions are unavoidable, as will probably always be the case with such a delicate instrument, to determine by other means as well as possible the motion of the zero-point during the interval. I have pointed out before that the present observations, with the exception of those made at Puerto Orotava, are incomplete in this respect, for they were interrupted once in June, and at Wilhelmshaven many days were missed in May. Notwithstanding, some results of interest have been gathered. The daily oscillation having been deter- mined, two numbers were interpolated from the readings for every day, corresponding to the moments when the periodical deflection is equal to zero, and curves were drawn and compared with the curves of tempera- ture and barometric pressure.! (1) At Wilhelmshaven a remarkably strong effect is produced by the changes in the barometer. When the pressure increases the pendulum moves towards the east, thus indicating a sinking of the soil in the same direction, and a change of 1 mm. in the former corresponds witha change of 0-29 in the direction of the plumb-line. Apparently both changes take place simultaneously, or, if the changes in the position of the pen- dulum lag behind those of barometric pressure, the difference must be very small. Thas, the horizontal pendulum in this particular case acts as a most delicate barometer, and might be used as such if it were not subject to other influences. As the atmospheric pressure presents a daily oscilla- tion, it is necessary in discussing the daily period of the plumb-line to take the former into account. (2) The correspondence between the pendulum and the barometer is most pronounced when the mean temperature remains pretty constant during a number of days, but with sudden changes of temperature the effect of the latter is seen to prevail over the former. From all the ‘ See the reproduction of a part of these curves in my paper, Das Horizontal- pendel, &c. 1893. Y 322 REPORT—1893. observations, it was concluded by a careful investigation that at Wilhelms- haven a rise of temperature of only 1° C. produces exactly the double effect. which is caused by an increase of barometric pressure of 1 mm., viz., a motion of 0/"58 towards the east. Thus it is seen that, when these two meteorological agents happen by chance to actin the same sense, very considerable deflections of the plumb-line are produced at Wilhelmsbaven, which, in case they should not be limited to the upper layers of the ground, would not escape detec- tion at an astronomical observatory where regular observations are taken. (3) A similar investigation led to the following results for Potsdam. Barometric pressure appears to have no effect whatever on the position of the pendulum at this place. But a rise of temperature of 1° OC. pro- duces a deflection of 0/16 towards the east. This latter constant is again determined with considerable accuracy, the result of thirty-eight days in April and May being 0/18, whilst fifty-seven days of the later period give the value 0/’:15. (4) At Puerto Orotava the meteorological effects are small, but they present a particular interest. They are not so easily noticed as in the two former cases, where to see them it is sufficient to look at the diagrams. Nevertheless they exist, and the following values could be deduced by properly grouping the observations. A change of +1 mm. in barometric pressure causes a deflection of 0/’-0309 of the plumb-line to the west, and a change of +1° C. in temperature a deflection of 0’-0362 to the east. The effect of barometric pressure is especially interesting, because, from the description of the locality given above, it may be gathered that it could be accounted for by the counteraction of volcanic forces, which undoubtedly are still active inside the Pico de Teyde. If it is allowable to draw any conclusions from the intervals of time in which during the latest centuries volcanic action has shown itself on the outskirts of this famous mountain, the time would now have arrived when the inhabitants might be prepared to see another of those outbursts. It is not improbable that, before an eruption takes place, the whole mass might show an inclination to yield to variations of external pressure. And this is really the case, for Puerto Orotava is situated on the N.N.E. flank of the cone, at a distance of about 18 kilometres; thus, when the external pressure diminishes, the slope of the mountain is increased, and a horizontal pendulum placed as it was at Orotava ought to move towards the east. (5) It is interesting to compare the effects of temperature, which we have now found to exist, with each other as well as with the daily oscil- lation. If we divide the mean values of the latter by the mean corre- sponding values of the maximum oscillation of temperature, we obtain the following table, which corresponds throughout with a change of 1° C.:— ee eee Pee Zero-point Daily Oscillation ” i ” Wilhelmshaven . : . ; 0:58 0:36 Potsdam . . * = 4 0:16 0:06 Orotava . ‘ : - i 0:036 0:06 ie ee ee eee Thus it is evident that, if it is the same cause which produces the motion of the zero-point and the daily oscillation, this cause acts in a different way and not in the same intensity everywhere. It is necessary ON EARTH TREMORS. 323 to add that in the present investigation no account has been taken of a purely local effect of temperature which is caused by a difference in the length of the two foot-screws east and west of the pendulum. If they are not equally long, a change of temperature will produce a small tilt of the instrument. This, however, would only be noticeable in the motion of the zero-point, for the daily change of temperature in the cellars was practically zero. But also in the former it would only account for a small motion, such as, for instance, was found for Orotava. Considering the dimensions of the instruments, I find that a difference of temperature of 1° C. produces a tilt of 00164 multiplied by the difference in the length of the screws expressed in millimetres. The surface of the column which carries the pendulum ought therefore to be made as nearly hori- zontal as possible, supposing the instrument to possess an entirely sym- metrical form. (6) Besides those changes which we have until now considered, and which by the nature of their causes can never surpass certain limits, the zero-point is subject to others of particular interest, which are probably due to geological causes, viz., the slow folding of the earth’s crust. By the aid of the diagrams drawn I have tried to fill out the gaps in the observations, and to construct curves which represent approximately the motion of the zero-point, corrected for temperature and barometric pres- sure, during the whole period of observation. Starting from an arbitrary zero, I have obtained the following values, in which an increase indicates a motion towards the east, corresponding to a tilt in the same direction :— Potsdam Wilhelmshaven Puerto Orotava ” uw ”" 1889 April 1 21:0 1889 March 7 5°5 1890 Dec. 26 5:3 » 15 13:0 eo 1891 Jan. 14 1-1 May 1 68 5 0 26049 Feb. 1 07 » 9 54W.elong.

The observations at Orotava are complete, whilst at Potsdam the interruption is so short that the given values may be con- sidered as very nearly accurate. Thus we find that the pendulum showed the greatest motion at Pots- dam, where its installation was certainly the most favourable of all. Observations there were commenced about five months after the column was completed. During the whole of April and the first part of May the column inclined towards the west; it then turned and a tilt of 11/2 towards the east began, which lasted until the middle of June, when again it inclined towards the west, moving through an angle of 14’ until the end of the observations. x 2 324 REPORT—1893. At Wilhelmshaven, where from other reasons one might have expected a larger motion, the latter is really comparatively small. Two very dis- tinct waves present themselves in the diagrams, both causing maximum excursions to the east on April 30 and on August 14. But on the average the mean position of the pendulum remained pretty constant. This fact is of some importance, considering that the column at Wilhelmshaven had also been constructed five months before the commencement of the observations, and that the heavy moisture of the cellar would in that case certainly retard the process of drying. Thus it is not likely that the strong motion which took place at Potsdam during the first month ought to be ascribed to this cause. This conclusion would, however, not be justified in the third case, for when observing at Puerto Orotava circumstances did not permit me to lose so much time. If the considerable inclination of the column towards the west during the first month be ascribed to the drying process, the general motion of the zero-point is of a very simple form, and may be explained by a slow tilt towards the east. It is only natural to suppose that all modern geological changes in the island of Teneriffe emanate from the Peak as a centre. If thisis true, the observed tilt might be the consequence of a slow elevation of the island, which would gradually increase the slope of the lower parts of the mountain, and would find an end when the internal forces should again succeed in breaking themselves a way through one of the weaker parts of its flanks. When considering the interest which is attached to the Canary Islands and the Pico de Teyde, especially in the history of volcanic theories, the foregoing remarks, though only founded on a short series of observations, will suffice to indicate the service which might be rendered to geological science by observing two horizontal pendulums during a sufficiently long interval of time on opposite sides of the mountain cone. Places like Icod de los Vinos, on the north side of the island, and Guimar, on the south side, are probably to be recommended most, for not only do they offer the comfort which is desirable for a longer sojourn, but the surrounding country is so full of interest as to form a most magnificent object for scientific study of the most varied kind. IV. Seismological Phenomena and Others.—Some time before writing this account I drew up a paper containing all observations on seismo- logical phenomena obtained by myself, and lately by Professor Kortazzi at Nicolaiew, up to May 1893. This paper is not yet printed, but will soon be published in ‘ Petermann’s Mittheilungen.’! As it is impossible to enter much into details here, I must refer the reader to this paper. Respecting the phenomena of earth pulsations and other remarkable movements of the earth’s surface I am in a similar position, for another paper on these, which is illustrated by figures representing some of the most curious portions of the photographs, is about to be published in the ‘ Astronomische Nachrichten.’2 In order to avoid repetition I shall in the following re- marks include all that may as yet be said about the later observations at Strassburg, as far as it refers to the object of this section. q The horizontal pendulum, besides constantly indicating the position of the plumb-linein relation to the surrounding objects on the earth’s sur- face, affords an excellent means of controlling the momentary state of the 1 See list of papers, p. 309, No. 15. 2 See list of papers, No. 14. ON EARTH TREMORS. 325 soil. This, like the surface of a lake, is sometimes at rest, and at other times subject to undulations and vibrations, which have received the general name of mivroseismic movements. The horizontal pendulum in its present form offers the same difficulty which is often felt by earth- quake observers, viz., that it is often impossible to say whether the dis- turbances visible on the curves have been produced by vibrations setting the pendulum swinging, or by a repeated tilting. ‘The latter, when it takes place slowly, and when the period of the tilt does not coincide with that of the pendulum, would only produce deflections ; but as all micro- seismic movement appears to be very complicated and variable, probably deflections and swinging of the pendulum generally act together. Thus we may explain the great variety of figures which are seen on the photo- graphs and sometimes extend over several hours, thereby indicating that earthquake motion, when it travels over large distances, spreads out more and more on account of the difference in the rate of propagation. It is well to remember hereby that in a few cases in which the effect of distant earthquakes was observed by astronomers, when they were occupied with the levels of their instruments, the motion was nearly always seen to be of an undulatory character, whilst at the centre of an earthquake vibratory horizontal motion generally prevails. (1) Observations of Earthquakes——The comparison of the curves ob- tained simultaneously first at Potsdam and Wilhelmshaven, and later at Strassburg and Nicolaiew, has shown that a very large percentage of the observed disturbances was common to both places. In fact, it is a com- paratively rare occurrence that when an earthquake figure, however small, appears on one of the photographs, it is not equally visible on the other. It often happens that the curves are not sufficiently distinct, owing to variations in the intensity and figure of the light-point and faults in the paper, or when a general microseismic movement is more pronounced at one of the stations than at the other. In such cases small disturbances may at first escape detection, put are often found _ when notice is given from the other station. The difference of time is well marked in many cases during the observations in 1892-93, whilst in 1889 the distance was too small, con- sidering the uncertainty connected with the readings. The distance between Strassburg and Nicolaiew is nearly 2,000 kilometres, and yet many of the observed disturbances appear to have lost none of their intensity in passing over this distance. We are thus quite justified in expecting that strong earthquakes will be observed by the horizontal pendulum, wherever their centre may be on the earth. Of course it is quite possible that the conditions for propagation are more favourable in certain places than in others, and that, for instance, earth-waves travel more easily across continents than when they have to pass over broad oceanic tracts. The publication of the entire list of nearly 200 disturbances will, I hope, lead to establish a greater number of relations between some of these and observed earthquakes than I have yet been able to find. Nevertheless, amongst the latter there are some cases of great interest, of which I mention the following: the Japanese earthquakes of Tokio, April 17, 1889, and of Kumamoto, July 28, 1889; the earthquakes of Wjernoje (Central Asia), July 12, 1889, and of Patras in Greece, August 25, 1889; the earthquake of San Francisco, April 19, 1892; several of the Zante earthquakes, and the great Levant earthquake which took place in the town of Malatia on February 9, 1893. 326 REPORT—1893. As it is impossible here to describe all these cases in detail I refer to the above paper; only this may be mentioned, that in the case of the great earthquake of Kumamoto two disturbances were observed, which exactly agree with the supposition that the earthquake-wave travelled round both sides of the globe with a velocity of 2:3 kilometres per second. The time of a shock as obtained by this method is always rather un- certain for two reasons. The first is that, owing to the slow rate of the motion of the paper, which was 11 mm. per hour, the readings may be 2 or 3 minutes in error; the second, that a shock very rarely begins suddenly, but is generally preceded by smaller movements of the ground, which make it impossible to decide which is the beginning of the earth- quake. In such cases, however, I have sometimes found the figures of a disturbance to show remarkable coincidences. Thus, by comparing the moments of sudden increase of motion at the two stations, which occur in nearly every earthquake, several determinations of the difference of time may be obtained, the mean of which is affected by a smaller probable error than a single determination. The velocities of propagation obtained from the above-mentioned observations vary between 2 and 5 kilometres per second, which, how- ever uncertain the single values may be, confirms the view that it is impossible to speak of a constant of velocity in the distant propagation otf earthquakes. If the first observations with the horizontal pendulum leave much to be desired with respect to their application to the study of earthquakes, they certainly show what might be done if only a small number of stations, well distributed all over the earth, were organised. It would be a great satisfaction to the writer if this account should help to excite an interest for the establishment of at least one such station in the far West, say in the western part of the United States or Canada, and another in the far East, in Japan, or rather in some other country which is less subject to the effects of local earthquakes. We may safely predict that the comparison of horizontal pendulum curves obtained at two such stations, with those at an intermediate European station, would lead to most interesting results, not only from a seismological point of view, but also with respect to the determination of the modulus of elasticity of the upper strata of the earth. If, with this special object in view, one should not lay any value on observing at the same time the deflections of the plumb-line, the horizontal pendulum might be much simplified, and perhaps an improved form of Milne’s ‘tromometer’ or conical pendulum, when furnished with sufficiently fine corrections, would be the cheapest and simplest instrument. The rate of the paper ought to be much increased, and this could be done without raising the expense, for it would not be necessary to employ a very high degree of sensitiveness, the deflections of the pendulum would thus be reduced, and a narrow strip of paper would be sufficient where a broad sheet is now required. (2) Harth Pulsations——Karth pulsations, consisting of long, flat waves, somewhat like the swell of the ocean, were for the first time observed by myself at Potsdam on February 11, 1889. Owing to the application of glycerine, as described above, the pendulum could not swing, and a sharp black line was drawn by the light-point. The instru- ment had been adjusted in the afternoon, but in consequence of some ON EARTH TREMORS. 327 after-effect the light-point was slowly travelling across the paper. At 7 P.M. waves begin to be visible, which are beautifully distinct between 8.44 and 16.40. The mean period of a wave is about 9 minutes, and the average range is 0’’"1. The motion disappears gradually, and the curve soon reassumes its ordinary appearance as a dark line of uniform breadth. This is the only case in which earth pulsations were distinctly ob- served during the experiments in 1889. ‘The curves at Wilhelmshaven certainly present very large irregularities, and systems of waves of all sorts of periods, from a few minutes up to nearly one hour, appear; but all these disturbances bear a more irregular character. At Potsdam, again, the light-point was rather large, and consequently a broad line was drawn, and it may be that this was the reason why no trace of earth pulsations was ever noticed again, for, when the waves are small, the light-point must not be beyond a certain size in order that the waves may be visible. 1 may mention, however, that the curves which I ob- tained when the glycerine arrangement was still in use showed traces of pulsations on many days. The borders of the black line have the appearance of a zigzag, like the teeth of a saw, a tooth on one side corresponding with an interval between two teeth on the other. Thus, it is quite possible that, for the sake of representing such motions as earth pulsations, it would be useful to damp the swing of the pendulum in order to avoid the effect of other microseismic movements, which cause the pendulum to oscillate, and thereby help to increase the breadth of the curves. On January 5, 1890, earth pulsations first appeared on a photograph taken at Orotava. The period of the waves is much smaller than in the case described above, and they are so close together that it requires a magnifying glass to distinguish and to count them. Beginning at 6.37 a.m., 103 half-oscillations are distinctly seen, which are extremely regular as far as the period is concerned, which is 45 seconds, or 14 minute for a complete oscillation. The range of motion is variable, and it is easily recognised that several systems of waves are superimposed on each other. The total range of motion is about 0/15 on an average. Afterwards the waves are less distinct; larger deflections iaterfere and destroy the regularity. Soon after this observation 1 heard of some curious phenomena that had been ebserved at Madeira. The sea had risen and fallen at short intervals on the south coast, whilst on the Desertas Islands large land- slips had occurred which caused the breakage of a cable in the neighbour- hood. When examining more closely the times of observation, I found that there was certainly no direct connection between these phenomena and the disturbance observed at Orotava on January 5. Later on it appeared that the latter was not at all extraordinary, for on many days similar disturbances were observed, always at the same time of the day, viz., the time in which the pendulum is in its western elongation. On many days it was possible to count a few waves, but with one exception they were too close together to allow such a detailed investigation to be made as on January 5. This happened on April 7 when thirteen waves, with a period a little more than 7} minutes each, appeared on the photograph, nearly as distinct as in the case observed at Potsdam. It is interesting to note that, on the system of these waves, which have a range of 0/07, other smaller waves are visible, 328 REPORT— 1893. the period of which is nearly the same as the period of the waves on January 5. Amongst the fifty-two days which show traces of this curious pheno- menon during the time between 5 a.m. and noon, there are several on which it appears developed into a large disturbance of the character of an earthquake, Whether this is a chance coincidence, and earthquake waves really happened to pass over Teneriffe so often during the same time of the day, is a question which, of course, cannot be answered with certainty. But it is much more probable to suppose that it was only the intensity of the motion, in which these days differed from others, like January 5 and April 7. Thus, if I had possessed the means for ob- serving real tilts, and not the swing of the pendulum on those days, probably very large deflections would have been noted. It is very interesting to find that this phenomenon bears such a decidedly local character at Orotava, for it never occurs at other times of the day than in the early morning and forenoon. It generally begins at a time when there is yet no trace of wind in the lower parts of the island, though this circumstance may not appear of much importance, because from many comparisons made it is nearly certain that the wind exercises no influence whatever over the pendulum. The idea naturally presents itself that the causes which produce the daily oscillation might also be the reason why a certain period of the day is especially favourable to the formation of earth pulsations. If the daily period be the effect of a general motion of the ground, its condition of stress might vary, thus affording the internal forces a better chance of producing such an effect during one part of the day than during the other. I now turn to the description of some cases of earth pulsations lately observed at Strassburg, but, as the observations are not yet finished, I should like the following remarks to be considered as provisional only. During the whole summer of 1892 photographs were taken, but never did a trace of earth pulsations appear on them. The lines were not as clear as I wished them to be, yet it was easily seen that in a general way the pendulum was remarkably steady compared with what had been noticed at the former stations. About the middle of October a slight change was made in the lamp, which only produced a very insignificant difference in the appearance of the curve. On October 19 earth pulsations suddenly appeared, such as had never been seen before. The appearance of the curve is as follows wanna and is due to the imperfect figure of the light-point, which, instead of being a small circle, has an oblong shape, with its axis a little inclined, thus causing one branch of each wave to be more marked than the other. This shows how important it is that the point of light should be as small and as regular in shape as possible. During an interval of nearly ten hours I counted about 200 successive waves, the duration of each being nearly three minutes. At first the period of the waves was a little larger, viz., 3 minutes 19 seconds, whilst towards the end it had gradually dimin- ished to 2 minutes 43 seconds. The amplitude was a little less than ,),th of a second, and remained constant throughout, thus giving the zigzag line an extremely regular appearance. A very similar and yet more remarkable series of earth pulsations was observed on December 22, when more than 300 waves were counted within a period a little shorter than on October 19. Besides these two cases many others occurred when the number of waves was smaller. The mean ON EARTH TREMORS. 329 period could always be accurately determined by counting the number of the waves within the space of a few hours, and a period of a little less than three minutes was found in most cases. But it is evident that this is not a constant, for occasionally waves with longer periods are observed, and again in some parts of the curve the borders show traces of waves of very short period, like a fine fringe. The size of these waves is always about the same as above, and they present no such variations as in Puerto Orotava. They generally are visible during several succeeding hours, but often, too, a portion of the curve, which is as undisturbed as a straight line, is broken by a short series of waves. Towards the end of the winter these earth pulsations seem{to have again entirely disappeared. No change of any kind was made in the instrumental arrangements, and the curves are quite as distinct as before. Perhaps a more careful inspection, which will be made when the observa- tions have come to a close, will show traces where they have now been overlooked ; but certainly nothing like the two cases mentioned above has occurred during the last four or five months. At Tokio Professor Milne has observed earth pulsations, which differ from the above, because their period is only a few seconds. But in a photograph which he has lately sent me I find a zigzag line of quite the same form as described above; thus it is certain that waves of longer period occur in Japan also. The study of earth pulsations may prove to be of importance for many branches of scientific research. For instance, they may explain some curious discrepancies which are occasionally noticed in astrono- -mical observations. If it should be found by future observations that waves representing an angular value of a few tenths of a second are a frequent occurrence, astronomers will be forced to take them into account, and will no louger be able to rely on the present method of determining the level in all delicate researches. (3) Earth Tremors.—A third appearance of interest in the curves is what is generally called earth tremors. Perhaps they are nothing else than earth pulsations of short period, but I prefer to think that they are principally due to the swinging of the pendulum, produced by small vibrations and pulsations, which now increase and now again retard its motion. Such tremors generally last many hours, and sometimes days, and the curve, which is often like a dark black line drawn by a ruling pen, takes the appearance of a succession of small earthquake figures. When roughly comparing the results obtained at Potsdam and Wilhelmshaven, I found that strong tremors were nearly always observed at both places simultaneously, and that they bear a relation to the force of the wind. When strong wind is blowing tremors may always be expected to occur, and sometimes they appear to outrace the wind, for they are also noticed in calm weather when there is wind at a distance. The intensity of tremors is not always proportional to the strength of the wind. No systematical comparison, however, has yet been made, because of the many interrup- tions at Wilhelmshaven and the short duration of the observations. At Puerto Orotava tremors were quite insignificant ; in fact, there is scarcely a trace of them, except during the hours when earth pulsations occur. This is all the more remarkable because heavy winds are con- stantly blowing against the high mountain chain in the island, but per- haps they would have been more noticeable if observations had been 330 REPORT—1893. taken in the east-west plane, and not in the plane of the meridian, which is nearly at right angles with the mountains and the coast line. For this reason, perhaps, no effect was either noticed of the heavy surf which is for ever beating against the rocky coast. At Strassburg tremors were also found to be considerably smaller than at either of the first two stations. During the warmer season the light- point appears to be much more steady than in winter, and altogether strong tremors are a rare occurrence. A special investigation will be made when the observations have come to an end. For an investigation of the earth pulsations and tremors little only can be done with the present arrangement of the apparatus, which only offers a means of studying the statistics of these phenomena. It is necessary to use quickly moving paper and plates and a highly sensitive pendulum in order to make the details visible. As the soil is often perfectly steady through long intervals of time, to avoid taking useless photographs a telescope ought to be added, through which it is possible to see whether the pendulum is at rest or not. (4) Sudden Deflections of the Pendulum.—tI have already mentioned that the curves at Wilhelmshaven are so full of irregularities that some parts may be compared with declination photographs of magnetic storms. But whilst these are seen more or less every day, the following disturbances are amongst the rarest occurrences. On April 9, 1889, at 6.36 p.m., the light-point at Potsdam suddenly travelled through 85 mm., which is equal to a deflection of 0/34 of the plumb-line towards the west, thus forming the following figure . It is evident that this deflection was not instantaneous, for if it had been so, the curve would have appeared broken, the second part beginning with swings, as is the case whenever a deflection of the pendulum is caused artificially. But here there is no trace of swinging, and the dark appearance of the line joining the two parts of the curve is a proof that the light-point moved sufficiently slowly to leave an impression on the paper. Many small deflections are seen on other days at Potsdam as well as at Wilhelmshaven. Amongst those observed at the latter place the most important took place at 11 a.m. on August 9, and at 6.30 P.M. on September 24. They are similar to the case described above, but the line which joins the two parts of the curve is not so well marked, and ae the following figure is formed . Another remarkable case was observed at Puerto Orotava on February 2, soon after 9 p.m., the figure being as follows 7 ie ele angular value of the deflec- tion is 017, but in this case it lasted 1 hour 20 minutes before the light- point had gained its new position, and the middle part of the figure is. just as dark as the rest. Whilst the above deflections were permanent, passing deflections occurred at Wilhelmshaven, and were especially marked on July 12 at 7 A.., and on September 12 at 6 p.m. In the latter case the ON EARTH TREMORS. 33h following figure YY appears, and the deflection is equal to an angle of not much less than one second in the direction of the plumb-line. At Strassburg no strong deflections of a similar kind were noted except during some earthquakes and when observations were made at the transit circle, which is borne by the column to which the pendulum is attached. These disturbances must be ascribed to vibrations of the pillar, which are produced either by the earthquakes or by the observer knocking against it, and which cause a slight change in the connection between the pivots and agate cupsof the pendulum. It remains, however, to be explained why these displacements so often accompany earth- quakes at Strassburg, whilst they were never noticed at any one of the first three stations, although earthquake-motion of probably equal strength was frequently observed there. Besides, it is remarkable that once when a piece of iron was driven into the pillar on the side opposite to where the pendulum was placed, thus causing very considerable vibrations, the dis- placement of the light-point was not larger than that which accompanied one of the earthquakes. Observations at Strassburg.—When I returned from Teneriffe I was. anxious to continue the observations, but being myself unable to look after the instrument I sent it to Professor Kortazzi, who wished to try it at the Imperial Naval Observatory at Nicolaiew, and has been taking observations in different positions of the pendulum since the spring ot last year. At the same time I applied to Professor Becker, the Director of the Strassburg Observatory, who very kindly offered to take charge of the other instrument which had remained at Wilhelmshaven and to place it in one of the cellars of the observatory. Before this was done the pendulum passed through the hands of Messrs. Repsold. It received new pivots, and the plane mirrors, which I had used before, were replaced by concave silvered glass mirrors of nearly 1 m. focal distance. In making this change I followed the advice of Dr. Eschenhagen at Potsdam, who had obtained beautifully sharp curves with these mirrors. A circular mirror was cut in two, and one half was. ground down as much as possible to reduce its weight. But through this process the focal length was slightly changed, and when the two halves were afterwards placed one over the other it was impossible to make the two reflected points of light equally sharp. At first the silvered surface was soon spoiled through the moisture, but when the mirrors had been resilvered and the ordinary precautions were taken to dry the air inside the pendulum box, this difficulty was removed, and the same mirrors have been in use without interruption since last July. Though the curves obtained at Strassburg are certainly finer than the older ones, I am not sure that the same result might not be obtained by using the ordinary plane mirrors if these were silvered on the front side. Besides it must be remembered that the distance between the mirror and the photographic paper had to be reduced to more than one-half of the former distance, which alone ensures a sharper image, and that itis very difficult to make “yh such mirrors with exactly the same focal length when the latter is arge. In placing the instrument it was considered to be of special interest to attach it to one of the large pillars of the observatory. The pillar of the transit circle was selected and a stone table fixed into it on its east side, 332 REPORT—-1893. because I wished to take observations in the east-west plane. The lamp and photographic apparatus are mounted on wooden tables, and the dis- tance between the pendulum mirror and the drum is a little less than 2m. The necessary preparations were made in November 1891, but regular observations did not begin until April 1892. At first many interruptions occurred owing to the extraordinary motions of the zero-point, which caused me to discontinue the observations for a few ‘days at the beginning of May. A second interruption occurred in June, because it was necessary to have the mirrors resilvered ; but since July 18 last until now the instrument has been in good working order, and only on two occasions the continuity of the observations is broken by sudden motions, which caused the light-point to travel beyond the borders of the paper before it could be noticed at the usual control. To finish the account of the instrumental arrangement, I have to add that since November paper from the manufactories of Dr. Stolze in Charlottenburg has been used instead of Morgan and Kidd’s paper, and that a great im- provement has thus been obtained owing to its much greater sensitiveness, For the details respecting the first part of the observations between April 4 and September 18, 1892, I refer to the ‘ Astronomische Nachrichten,’ No. 3147. The discussion of the later observations, to- gether with a general investigation, has been deferred until later, because it is intended to continue the series up to the beginning of September. For this reason I am unable here to give definite results, and shall only mention what may be of use to other observers. The daily period is much smaller than it was found when the pendu- Tum was placed in the meridian, but it is well pronounced, and, to judge from the aspect of the curves alone, it decreases much in winter. During the winter months it entirely disappears on some days. The same fact has been communicated to me as observed at Nicclaiew by Professor Kortazzi. The diagram representing the daily change is much like the one which I found from one day’s eye observations at Karlsruhe in 1887, and forty-eight days’ observations at Nicolaiew in 1892 give a sunilar result. The following numbers I extract from the ‘ Astronomische Nachrichten,’ + denoting a deflection towards the north :— M.T. Karlsruhe Strassburg Nicolaiew (0 hour=noon) 1887 1892 1892 Hours m mw ” 0 + 0-086 +0017 +0:040 2 —0:065 — 0:016 + 0:024 4 —O151 —0°057 + 0:003 6 —0:200 —0:079 —0:016 8 —07184 —0:064 —0:030 10 —07192 — 0034 —0:037 12 —0:108 —0-011 —0:037 14 —0:016 +0°015 —0:029 16 +0:135 + 0-050 —0:010 18 +0 225 +0:073 +0°013 20 +0°237 +0065 _ +0:035 22 + 0°204 +0041 +0:045 Thus it is seen that at Strassburg the plumb-line is in its southern elongation about 6 P.M. and in its northern elongation about 6 A.M. “These epochs, however, only represent the mean of the summer months. At Nicolaiew the times of these moments are each about four hours later. a th ls a a i el ee ee ON EARTH TREMORS. 333. The general form of the true oscillation of the plumb-line is probably very nearly represented by an ellipse whose large axis lies between the two directions E.W. and N.W.-S.E. The daily oscillation of the pendulum at Strassburg is quite insig- nificant when compared with the enormous changes of the zero-point. During the first fortnight, when a change of 1 mm. in the position of the light-point was equivalent to a deflection of 0/027 of the plumb-line, the pendulum was moving towards the north. Between April 4 and 18 it travelled through 6/"4,' when it stopped, and a southward motion began, which was very considerable during the whole of last summer, for the following angles were described :— ” Between April 18 and May 5 — 14:36 (motion south) ss May ices. une, | —13:12 a os July 18 ,, July 27 —10°45 <5 rh July 27 ,, Sept. 2 = 10:55 Pn ” Sept. 2 ,, Sept. 18 — 7:34 f The same motion continued with a varying rate and occasional stoppings during the rest of the year 1892 and the beginning of 1893. The total angular displacement is probably very nearly 2 minutes when the intervals are taken into account during which observations were missed. Since the early months of this year a reaction seems to have taken place, for a slow northerly motion has commenced, and now and then the pendulum remains in very nearly the same position during several days. I believe that the extraordinary motion of the pendulum, which far exceeds anything one could have expected beforehand, con- sidering its favourable foundation, is due to two causes—a very con- siderable tilt of the column from the north to the south and a large annual oscillation which augments the southerly motion during the later part and retards it during the earlier part of the year. If the tilting is due to a general motion of the ground it must affect the meridian circle, which is at a short distance to the east of the transit instrument. A comparison will be made as soon as the nadir observa- tions are available. In November 1892 Professor Becker had a water level attached to the other side of the pillar, which was read twice a day. As it is a well-known fact that water-levels are not very reliable for this sort of observations, it will not be surprising to hear that the readings. of the level, although they agree in a general way with the motion of the pendulum, differ from it in many details. The temperature of the cellar is read twice a day because it is subject to considerable variations. Owing to the form of the building of the meridian circle, in which the instruments are placed one storey high, the cellars below the observing rooms are not underground, and in winter during the severe cold the temperature fell below zero (C.)- An effect of temperature is certainly indicated, and will require a careful examination. It may be mentioned that the pillar which carries the transit instru- ment, and to which the pendulum is attached, is not massive throughout. A horizontal section through the middle of it presents the following figure +). The cylindrical mantel] stands on the same foundation as the middle part, and is probably rigidly connected with it in its lower and ! When speaking of the angular motion of the pendulum the corresponding motion of a vertical pendulum is always meant. 334 REPORT—1893. upper parts. If one considers these circumstances it does not appear improbable that the pendulam might be affected by temperature in a different way from the level on the other side. The large motion of the pendulum is felt as a great drawback when it is necessary to give it a high degree of sensitiveness, because it re- quires a constant watching of the light-point in order to make the necessary corrections before it leaves the paper. But another difficulty arises, because when a strong motion of the pillar takes place in the N. S. direction it is only natural to suppose a similar motion to take place in the E. W. direction, which must cause a perpetual change in the scale value. During the observations at Strassburg the period of the pendulum was observed every now and then, and as it had not varied much at first, observations were taken at longer intervals afterwards. On May 10, however, when a new determination was made by Professor Becker with the chronograph, it was found that the period, which had been 12-4 seconds (one-half swing) before, had risen to 17°4 seconds, which indicates that either the pillar had been tilted considerably from the west to the east, or that a sudden displacement of the pendulum must have taken place, perhaps during one of the earthquake-shocks, the effects of which were mentioned above. Should other observers try the horizontal pendulum they may gather from the above that it is almost necessary to use a double pendulum for observing both components of the deflections, and that arrangements should be made to determine the period of oscillation at short intervals whenever a strong motion of the zero-point is indicated. During the winter a curious fact was communicated to me by Pro- fessor Kortazzi. In trying to explain the motion of the zero-point he had placed a hygrograph in the cellar with the pendulum, and found that the pendulum was decidedly influenced by the relative moisture of the air in the cellar, for the diagrams were much like each other. Ina letter to me he expressed the following opinion. The column which carried the pendulum had been piled up of large loose stones without mortar or cement in order to be able to begin the observations without the loss of time caused by the drying process. The ground of the cellar being perfectly dry, it appears that the stone behaved like a sponge, drawing in the moisture contained in the air more or less, and thereby causing a change in the inclination of the instrument. I have lately heard from Professor Kortazzi that the effect of moisture disappeared almost entirely when the openings through which the cellar communi- cated with others were closed, and the pillar was covered with a water- proof material. It is evident that if this cause has a considerable effect at Nicolaiew, it could only have been of secondary importance at the other stations. At Wilhelmshaven, for instance, the relative moisture of the air was probably always 100 per cent. It is necessary, however, to consider this agent also, and to take the necessary precautions in order either to avoid or to eliminate its effect as much as possible in the final results. A dry and wet bulb thermometer have therefore been placed in the cellar at Strassburg, and are read twice every day.! ? It may be useful to mention that observations with two horizontal pendulums, exactly like the one used by myself, are now being made by Prof. Lewitzky at Charkow. ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. 335 The Action of Magnetism on Light; with a critical correlation of the various theories of Light-propagation. By JosrrH LARMoR, M.A., D.Sc., F.RS., Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge. [A communication ordered by the General Committee to be printed among the Reports, ] Part J.—Maaenetic Action on Licur. Discovery of Magnetic Rotation. 1. Tue redaction of light and heat, and of electrical phenomena, to a common cause has been a cardinal subject of physical speculation from the earliest times. More recently Oersted! fully persuaded himself, on somewhat wider knowledge of fact, ‘that heat and light are the result of the electric conflict,’ and saw in his great discovery of the gyratory action of an electric current on a magnet the explanation of the phenomena classed under the name of polarisation of light. But it was reserved for Faraday to make the first effective entrance into this domain of know- ledge. 2. After failure in 1834 to discover any direct relation between light and static electrification, and after repeated attempts in other directions, he at length discovered ” the fact that when plane polarised light is passed through a transparent body along the direction of lines of magnetic force, its plane of polarisation undergoes rotation by a specific amount character- istic of the medium traversed. He thus succeeded ‘in magnetising and electrifying a ray of light, and in illuminating a magnetic line of force.’ After observing that when the ray is oblique to the lines of magnetic force it is the component of the force in the direction of the ray which appears to be effective in producing the rotation (a law which has since been exactly verified by Verdet and more recently by Du Bois), he proceeds to inquire into the condition of the active medium with the following results : ‘2171. I cannot as yet find that the heavy glass when in this state, i.e., with magnetic lines of force passing through it, exhibits any increased degree, or has any specific magneto-inductive action of the recognised kind. I have placed it in large quantities, and in different positions, between magnets and magnetic needles, having at the time very delicate methods of appreciating any difference between it and air, but can find none. ‘2172. Using water, alcohol, mercury, and other fluids contained in very large delicate thermometer-shaped vessels, I could not discover that any difference in volume occurred when the magnetic curves passed through them.’ The rotation was in general right-handed with respect to the magnetic force; and in the case of (2165) ‘ bodies which have a rotative power of their own, as is the case with oil of turpentine, sugar, tartaric acid, tar- trates, etc., the effect of the magnetic force is to add to, or subtract from, their specific force, according as the natural rotation and that induced by ? Hans Christian Oersted, Haxperimenta circa Effectum conflictus Electrici in Acum Magneticam, Hafniae, 1820. * M, Faraday, Experimental Researches, 19th series; Phil. Trans., 1845. 336 REPORT— 1893. the magnetism is right or left handed.’ (2187.) ‘In all these cases the superinduced magnetic rotation was according to the general law, and without reference to the previous power of the body.’ Further on, after describing the diversity of the effect in different media, and its usually small amount in crystals, he adds : £2182. With some degree of curiosity and hope, I put gold-leaf into the magnetic lines, but could perceive no effect. Considering the extremely small dimensions of the length of the path of the polarised ray in it, any positive result was hardly to be expected.’ The powerful rotation discovered long after by Kundt, with films of iron, will here be called to mind. Repeated trials with varions transparent media gave no effect of lines of electro-static force on a ray of polarised light, propagated either along them or at right angles to them. An effect in this case has been detected by Kerr long after, but presented itself as a change in the elasticity, pro- ducing double refraction, and entirely devoid of rotational character. ‘2224. The magnetic forces do not act on the ray of light directly and without the intervention of matter, but through the mediation of the substance in which they and the ray have a simultaneous existence.’ Any such changes of internal constitution of media must of necessity (2226) ‘belong also to opaque bodies: for as diamagnetics there is no distinction between them and those which are transparent. The degree of transparency can, at the utmost, in this respect only make a distinction between the individuals of a class.’ After pointing out (2230) that this is ‘the first time that the molecular condition of a body, required to produce the circular polarisation of light, has been artificially given,’ and is, on that account also, worthy of minute study, Faraday proceeds to draw out in very clear and striking contrast the distinction between the natural undirected rotatory property of liquids like turpentine, and the magnetic property which is related to the direction of the lines of force, as well as the distinction between the latter and the axial but undirected rotatory power of quartz. This brief réswmé of the topics treated in Faraday’s memoir will be of interest as indicating how thoroughly he probed the problem, and how much his ideas were on the lines of the subsequent development of the subject. Mathematical Representations of the Phenomena. 3. The rotation of the plane of polarisation in quartz and other sub- stances had already been explained by Fresnel as depending on the two principles, (i) that the vibrations which can be propagated without change of form as they proceed are for these substances circular (or it may be elliptical), and (ii) that the velocity of propagation is different according as the vibration runs along in the manner of a right-handed or a left- handed screw-motion. It had also been shown by MacCullagh! how such properties might be deduced from equations of vibration modified by the insertion of small terms involving (d/dz)?, where z is the direction of propagation. Soon after Faraday’s discovery of magnetic rotation, Airy? pointed out the different modifications of the equations of vibration that would similarly account for the existence of the magnetic rotation. 1 J. MacCullagh, Trans. R.I.A., xvii. 1836; Collected Works, pp. 63, 186. 2G. B. Airy, Phil. Mag., June 1846, ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. Don We may in fact develope a complete and compact account of the matter, as follows. The equations for the displacements in a circular transverse vibration, propagated along the axis of z, are u=A cos (nt—ez), v=A sin (nt—ez) ; for a given value of z these equations represent a circular vibration in the plane of zy, and this is propagated in spiral fashion as a wave. We may very conveniently combine the two equations into one by use of the vector $=u+w to represent the displacement, thus obtaining the form $= Aei@t=2) As this vibration is propagated without change, the equation of propaga- tion must be linear in $3, therefore of the form The terms in P involve higher differential coefficients, and are necessary in order that the two values of e corresponding to a given value of n may not be equal except as to sign, in other words in order that right- handed and left-handed waves of the same period may be propagated at different speeds. To ensure this result, P must contain terms of odd order in the differential coeflicients ; if there were only terms of even order, it would still lead to an equation for the square of e, and so would represent ordinary dispersion without the rotational property. If we confine our attention to terms of the first and third orders we can tabulate possible rotational terms as follows : ! ee K BS K ds K BS K a3 K, ds ‘ded’ 7 de® 3 dt? “dedi?” > de’ ° da’ Now in the case of the first three types, change of sign of z does not affect the phenomenon; thus the rotation is in the same direction whether the wave travels forward or backward ; it is of the magnetic kind. In the case of the last three types, change of sign of z produces the same effect as change of sign of the rotatory coefficient ; the rotation is of the kind exhibited by quartz and sugar and other active chemical compounds. Onan ultimate dynamical theory, if $ denote displacement in a medium 2 . of density p, p om will represent force per unit volume ; and the principle of dimensions shows that «,/p, «2/p, «3/p, are respectively of dimensions [L?T*], [T], [T7], in length and time. Thus the coefficient «, will pro- duce rotation owing to some influence of a distribution of angular momen- tum pervading the medium ; while the coefficients x, and «; would produce selective rotation owing to the influence of the free periods of the fine- grained structure of the imbedded atoms of matter. The latter kind of rotation is to be expected to a sensible amount only in the rare cases in which selective absorption of the light is prominent; consequently we are guided, as a first approximation, to ascribe magnetic rotation to a co- efficient of the type x}. The last three types of term will be appropriate to represent the rotation of naturally active media. The dimensions of x,/p, «s/p, «¢/p, 1 J. Larmor, Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., xxi. 1890. 1893.

The first direct dynamical investigation bearing on the subject is by Lord Kelvin.'! He points out that the elastic reaction of a homo- geneously strained solid has a character essentially devoid of all helicoidal and of all dipolar asymmetry. It therefore follows that the helicoidal rotation of the plane of polarisation by quartz, turpentine, etc., must be due to elastic reactions dependent on the heterogeneity of the strain through the space of a wave. Then with regard to the magnetic or unipolar rotation the well- known paragraph occurs, quoted by Maxwell (‘ Treatise,’ § 831) as ‘an exceedingly important remark,’ of which his own theory of molecular vortices, and also its outcome, the conception of the working model which led to the electric theory of light, is an expansion. On reversing the light the magnetic rotation is not reversed: therefore it depends on some outside influence of a vector character, exerted on the system which transmits the light. This influence makes the free period of a circular motion differ, according as it rotates in one direction or the opposite one. If the purely elastic forces maintaining the motion are supposed similar in the two cases, it will follow that ‘the luminiferous circular motions are only components of the whole motion.’ There must be another dynamical system present, linked with the one which transmits the light, and possessing motion of rotation round the lines of magnetic force, or some other motion directed with respect to those lines; and the kinetic reaction between these two systems will account for the magnetic rotation. The influence which is exerted on the free periods of a vibrating system by linking it on to another system which is in rotation may be illustrated by some dynamical problems. If the angular velocity of the rotating system is supposed to be maintained constant, such illustrations admit of comparatively simple analytical treatment. We can determine the change produced by the rotation in the free period of the original system. If that system is one member of a chain or solid continuum, we can deduce the velocity of propagation of waves of given length from a knowledge of this change of period; for it is the velocity which would carry the undulation over a wave-length in the free period. A typical example of this kind, which is treated in the paper, is the motion of a Blackburn’s pendulum, suspended from a horizontal bar which is made to spin round a vertical axis with angular velocity w. The equations of motion are dx dy gq ee ND ArT qe’ 2w 725 d*y Writing 1 1 n=o(7+2), and \?= 5) ({-£), 1 W.

ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. 339 the motion for the case when w is very great compared with n loses its original character, and reduces to a form which, neglecting slight tremors, is derived approximately from the superposition of two circular motions, one in the same direction as the angular velocity w, of period 27/0, the other in the opposite direction, of period 27/p, where i po a BAS | eee pant Bum Ba” Bam t Bae The rotation in such a case as this becomes dominant; a plane oscil- lation now subsists, but will rotate steadily round the axis with angular velocity 5(¢—p), which is the slower the greater the velocity w with which the horizontal arm is carried round. These results may be extended to any rotating system with two transverse principal periods. Thus for the case of a long stretched cord, or a long rod, rotating round its own length with an angular velocity w which is very great compared with either of its natural transverse fre- quencies (27//)~? and (2z/m)-, the period of vibration of a wave of given type on the rotating cord will be changed to Qn (, 1M ie anh +8 on? f and the angle of rotation of its plane of polarisation, during propagation through a wave-length, will be mA 4nw?’ this rotation being in the same direction 4s the angular velocity w. Again, this xolotropic cord may have imposed on it such a (slight) rate of twist that a very long plane wave, made helicoidal by the rota- tion », will just be straightened out again by this twist, as it progresses along the cord, the natural period being still practically unaltered. From this remark it follows that ‘the effect of a twist amounting to one turn in a length s, a small fraction of the wave-length, is to cause the plane of vibration of a wave to turn round with the forward propagation of 4 the wave, at the rate of one turn in SS wave-lengths,’ in the same direction as the imposed twist. The first of these results illustrates magnetic rotation, the second the axial rotation of quartz; while a medium filled with spiral arrangements, like the second but devoid of special orientation, represents the rotation of turpentine. The mode of passing directly in this illustration from the effect of spin to the effect of helical structure produced by twist is noteworthy. The subject of a vibrating chain loaded with gyrostats, having their axes all along it, is considered by Lord Kelvin in a later paper:! and the general behaviour, as to propagation of waves, of a chain loaded with gyrostats which are orientated in any orderly manner with respect to it, has also been developed.? ?

The use of the term of type x, to explain magnetic rotation was arrived at by Maxwell! by the help of a provisional theory of molecular vortices, in which it occurs as standing for the reaction of a vortical motion of the medium representing its magnetisation, when that motion is disturbed by the light-vibrations passing through it. A very full examination has been made by Verdet? of the manner in which the constant of magnetic rotation (hence called Verdet’s constant) depends on the direction of the ray with regard to the magnetic force, on the refractive power of the medium, on the dispersive power of the medium, and in the same medium on the wave-length of the light. The rotation comes out, as has since been verified in detail by Du Bois, to be proportional simply to the component of the magnetic force along the ray. Media of great refractive power have in general high magnetic rotatory power. For the same medium the product of the rotatory power and the square of the wave-length is nearly constant, but always increases slightly with the index of refraction ; media of great dispersive power have in general also high rotatory dispersion. Verdet’s most important piece of work is, however, aprecise comparison of his experimental numbers for different wave-lengths with the results of a mathematical formula adapted to express both ordinary dispersion and the magnetic rotation according to Maxwell’s theory. He assumes Cauchy’s form of the ordinary dispersion terms, and so obtains equations equivalent to z 5 36 d? d' d from which is derived (Maxwell, ‘ Treatise,’ §§ 828-830) the formula connecting 0, the rotation, with m, a specific constant for the medium ; y, the magnetic force resolved along the ray ; c, the length of path of the ray on the medium; X, the wave-length of the light in air; and 7, the index of refraction of the medium. This formula is 2a di A= i N=) eo The comparison with experiment leads to agreement within the possible errors of observation (Maxwell, loc. cit.) for the case of bisulphide of carbon, but for the ordinary creosote of commerce the agreement is not so good. The fact that creosote is a chemically complex substance, or rather a mixture of different substances, may be of influence here. A coefficient of the type x, leads also to the general law of proportion- ality to the inverse square of the wave-length, but does not correspond nearly so well in detail as «, ; a coefficient of the type «; (C. Neumann’s) must be rejected altogether. It is to be borne in mind that it is only in substances with regular dispersion that Cauchy’s dispersive terms can be taken to represent the facts; whereas the x, rotatory term is, as we have seen, related to a free period of some kind in the system, and therefore to abnormal dispersion. 1 J.

The considerations just given bring together evidence of various kinds, that for ordinary media the «, rotatory term is to be taken as very subordinate to the x, term. Using the «, term alone, the equations of propagation of a wave travelling along the lines of magnetic force (now leaving out dispersion) will be of the form du lp du a dy . Cae de®” deat} dy ___ dv du ? Ie Toe de | deat Let us now attempt to deduce general equations of propagation along any direction. These clearly must involve three constants «,, ky, «, pre- portional to the components of the magnetic field along the axes of co- ordinates. For they must lead to the experimental law that the rotation for any direction of the wave is proportional to the component in that direction of the intensity of the magnetic field; in particular this law must be satisfied for the directions of the axes of coordinates. Further, the vibrations may be assumed to remain purely transverse, so that we must have no compression of the medium ; and therefore the condition is to remain satisfied after the rotational terms are added to the equations. The equations, then, must for an isotropic medium conform to the general type dv dw dy* daz du_,— 2 d (du ANY wt Bo (Gat d p dt2 +5 Pe in which P,, P,, P, are linear functions of the second spacial differential coefficients of the displacements; and transversality of the unmodified wave requires A+B=0.

Not only so, but Verdet’s law requires that the equations shall be expressible in terms of invariants of the three vectors add Kz, Ky) =) (= dy’ dz , and (u, Vv, w), independently of particular axes of coordinates. Hence P,, P,, P, must be so expressible ; and they must be the components of a vector, of the first degree in the first and third of the above vectors, of the second degree in the remaining one. The invariants which can enter are simply the geometrical relations of the figure formed by the above three vectors drawn as rays from an origin.

This expression for P, with the correlative ones for P, and P, is the most general form which the magnetic terms can assume in an isotropic medium, independently of any condition of exact transversality of the vibrations: transversality requires in addition that L and N shall be null. The equations of vibration of an elastic medium loaded with spinning molecular gyrostats, whose axes follow the rotations of the elements of the medium, have been formed,! and it is of interest to observe that the rotatory terms come under this special type for which L, N are null as wellas G. The reason is clear: the action of the gyrostats depends solely on the rotations of the elements of the medium, while the terms involving L and N have no rotational character. 7. Before application of these magneto-optic terms to problems of reflexion at a magnet, the type of the unmodified equations of propagation of light, to which they are to be added, must first be settled. The form of these equations which gives most satisfactory results for reflexion at the interface separating transparent media is (equivalent partially to Lord Kelvin’s labile «ther theory) expressed most simply both as to bodily equations and as to boundary conditions by the principles of the electro- magnetic theory of light; and it has been shown that the introduction of electric conducting quality into these equations gives a tolerable account of the phenomena of metallic reflexion.” It is therefore natural to add on these rotatory terms to the equations of the electro-magnetic theory, and to try to explain the phenomena of magnetic reflexion by their aid, with the boundary conditions appropriate to that theory. This is what has been done in all attempts that have had any success ; though there is room for diversity in the electrical basis which has to be supplied for the rotational terms. Dynamical Theories based on the Form of the Energy-function. 8. The subject of magnetic rotation has been treated by G. F. Fitz- Gerald? from the point of view of an additional magneto-optic term in the energy-function of the electro-magnetic medium. According to 1 J. Larmor, Proce. Lond. Math. Soc., xxii. 1891. 2 Cf. J. J. Thomson, ‘ Recent Advances in Electricity and Magnetism,’ 1893, §§ 352, seq. 8 G. F. FitzGerald, ‘On the Electro-magnetic Theory of the Reflection and Re- fraction of Light,’ Phil. Trans., 1880. 344 REPORT—1893. theory, the energy of this medium is made up of the kinetic or electro- magnetic part T, and the static part W, where in Maxwell’s notation, dr being an element of volume, T= g_| (e+ BB-+er)dr, = 3 {e+ O54 Bhar: and there is also in our problem to be added on another small term, Maxwell’s hypothetical magneto-optic part T’. Now the dynamical equations of any medium or system are most fundamentally expressed as the conditions that the characteristic function of Lagrange and Hamilton [or+a—wyae should be stationary for a given time of motion from any one definite configuration to another, subject to whatever restraints the coordinates have to obey. This form is the most fundamental, because the processes of the Calculus of Variations are purely analytical, ‘and quite independent of whatever specifying quantities we may choose in order to represent the state of the system, the only condition being that the fanction T+T’/—W is to be expressed in terms of a sufficient number of measures of configura- tion and their first differential coefficients with respect to the time, and is to be of the second degree as regards these differential coefficients. In order to obtain such an expression FitzGerald proposes to treat (a, 8, y) as velocities corresponding to coordinates (£, n, 2), so that (a, B, =o (é, ; é), dé? pS Epes £| dt? +H +a) ar and this will be successful if W can be represented in terms of (é, n, 2) only.

Now from the bodily equations we deduce at once vA=0; therefore \ is mathematically the potential function of a mass-distribution on the interfaces only, and so is continuous across them. It follows that the only way of securing the required continuity at an interface is (i) to postulate that 7 and ¢ are continuous across it, owing to the continuous structure of the system, and that therefore = and = are alsocontinuous across it; and (ii) either to postulate that ¢¢ is constrained to be null or else that is null all over it. The alternative taken in Maxwell’s electro- dynamics is that \ is null everywhere in the field, as in fact representing no observed physical phenomenon; then the boundary conditions are four, that the tangential components of the magnetic force are continu- ous, as also the tangential components of the electric force. 346 REPORT—1898. Since (£, 7, ¢) is the magnetic force, the displacement of the medium, as represented by the vector (&, 7, 2), is in the plane of polarisation of plane-polarised hght: by representing it by some function of (£, 7, Z), e.g., its curl, we could have it at right angles to this plane, as in Fresnel’s work. This quantity \ is not introduced in FitzGerald’s analysis of the pro- blem of ordinary crystalline refraction. As the results of the discussion of propagation and reflexion show, any motion propagated in a medium, homogeneous or heterogeneous, whose dynamical properties are determined by the above characteristic function, is effectively of a compressionless character, and there is no necessity to introduce a restriction to that type. But the case becomes different when magneto-optic terms are added to the energy-function. 9. FitzGerald goes on to assume, after Maxwell’s theory of molecular vortices, that the magneto-optic part of the energy is of the form eo dé df ,dndg , at dh P =4r0 | do di’ do dt’ do a) where denotes differentiation along the lines of imposed magnetic dl force ; but on working out the variation of the characteristic function, he finds a difficulty about satisfying all the equations of condition at an interface. This may, I think, be got over by introducing the undeter- mined multiplier \ of the above analysis into the variation, and so taking into account a certain condensational tendency which is originated at the interface, and propagated throughout the medium with very great velocity. There also remains for settlement the question whether the energy represented by T’ is correctly localised by its formula, or whether it involves superficial components, in addition to the bodily distribution ; in Maxwell’s vortex theory, from which it is taken, it has been transformed by integration by parts. So long as this doubt remains we shall not be in a position to demonstrate boundary conditions by this method. A chief interest, at the present date, of FitzGerald’s paper, lies in the application of the method of Least Action to deduce the equations of a dielectric medium from the expression for its energy alone. This method would not be available for a medium which is the seat of viscous forces ; ! consequently the equations for a conducting medium would have to be derived from those of a dielectric by the empirical introduction of appro- priate terms to represent the viscosity. It is, in fact, clear that the scien- tific method, in forming a dynamical theory, is to restrict it in the first instance to systems in which the interaction of stress and motion has free play, without the interference with its results that is produced by fric- tional agencies. The subject of the reduction of the equations of electro- dynamics into the domain of the general principle of Least Action has recently been treated by von Helmholtz. 10. The second of the questions raised above will now be examined. The magneto-optic energy must in reality be localised in space and not on surfaces; and it is of interest to inquire what is the most general formula that can be given for it which will lead to terms of the accepted type in the equations of motion. If we take a term in the variational 1 It is possible, however, to introduce Lord Rayleigh’s dissipation function into the general equation of Action. — ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. 347 3 equation of motion of the form laa oy dr,—where ¢ and w each stand for one of the symbols £, n, , and s stands for one of the symbols 2, y, z,— and if we trace backwards the operation of integration by parts by which: it was derived from the characteristic function, we obtain the following types under the sign of volume-integration which may exist in the direct variation of that function : d’¢ dip do dap dp dst addy dsdt ds’ dt ds?’ ds dsdt’ ' ds*dt’ These expressions may combine into complete variations of terms of any of the types Pp dy dp PY 4 a dsdt ds’ dt ds®’ " ds*dt° Now the term in the energy which comes from the linking of the optical with the magnetic motion should be of the first degree as regards the velocities of each of them; and it may involve linear and angular dis- placements, but not their differential coefficients, 7.e., it should involve only second differential coetficients with respect to space. The first of these types is thus the only one available, and the term in the energy must therefore be a scalar constructed from the combination of Ms with dt ack (2 dg ae ; 59h Se re ea ee rie go» Orand (7, 9, ) or (I—T", ); if we exclude the scalar i eee dz dy daz’ which would introduce compression. The term under investigation may therefore have the form either art d?n ae ' Iaoae* 9 aoget” aoai or di df , dy dg, de dh dé dt dé dt dé dt’ excluding, for the reason already given, forms such as d v9 (af+Bg+7h). Of these the first combines together the angular distortion of the medium, the velocity representing the motion in the magnetic field, and the rate of change of the velocity of the medium in the direction of that motion; while the second combines the spin of the medium with the velocity in the magnetic field. It would be difficult to assign a physical basis to the former on either a dynamical or an electric theory; and thus we are confined on our premisses to Maxwell’s form as giving correctly the localisation of the magneto-optic part of the energy. This dynamical conclusion if granted will restrict the purely formal results of § 6, in the 348 REPORT—1893. Same way as has been already done by the use of the hypothesis of ab- solutely perfect incompressibility in the resulting equations of propa- ation. 11. To discuss the first question it will be convenient to reproduce the main lines of FitzGerald’s analysis, with however the introduction of the new terms involving X, the origin of which has been already explained.

The variation is conducted in the ordinary manner; and of the final result the term involving o£ is here explicitly set down, for the special case of an isotropic medium for which T= e(i2t9°+?"), as follows, /, m, n being the direction cosines of the normal to the element of surface dS : 1 Fee dn watt V3 Fae Mens eee Gay a (M_& 4 40% 5 {2 lax| 1" oh a m(q = eas +0, yg poe d (ag _ dy dt\dy dz 1(f @e @ fat_dn +7 Pit BO a =) _ Of (la-+mp-+ny) )esas—| IhdEdS big dg de dfd& dé dX + ue = es wt dr |. +z] a dx dy at te) | 4" ok | Thus the bodily equations of propagation are of type ae A $(2-F)-$ dé _ dé ] ap oT Ke dy\dz dy} dz eS 2 d?

From them comes y?\= 0, showing that is mathematically the potential function of a mass-distribution on the interfaces only, and so does not appear at all in an infinite homogeneous medium. The interfacial conditions are most easily expressed by taking for the instant the axis of z at right angles to the element of surface considered.

The other conditions of continuity do not allow 6¢ to be continuous; therefore the third term gives simply the surface condition as to \ in the form ae d (dn_ dé = anCy ("2 a This very slight pressure is by the previous analysis continuous across the interface; it is important because it appears in a rotationally active form in the equations; the formula shows that, at the interface, it is proportional to the normal component of the magnetic force. It appears therefore that we have here a consistent scheme of equa- tions of reflexion and refraction, without the necessity of condoning any dynamical difficulties in the process, the result being in all respects implicitly involved in the expression for the energy function of the medium. The introduction of the circumstance of conduction, or absorption of the energy of vibration, can hardly affect the analytical form of the boundary conditions as to displacement and traction across an interface. If this be allowed, the problem of reflexion at a magnet will involve the same equations of propagation in the magnet as the above, with the exception that the velocity constant is complex, both the magneto-optic terms and the boundary conditions being otherwise unaltered. How far this theory can compete with others in giving a full explanation of our experimental knowledge would take too long time at present to inquire ; but the considerations to be explained in the latter part of this paper will, I think, give it strong claims to being a correct formulation of the phenomena. ' The difficulty has been raised that this procedure leaves 5¢ discontinuous, and so apparently leads to rupture of the media at the interface. The reply to this point would be that if the necessity of the continuity of 5¢ is admitted, the very formula- tion of the problem will involve innate inconsistency, as no other equation of condi- tion can be introduced into the variational equation ; while on the other hand the vanishing of the coefficient of 5¢, as above, shows that there is no resistance offered to stretching along the normal of the layer of the medium at the interface, and therefore the continuity of 5¢ will be actually adjusted by a stretching of the inter- facial layer which involves no dynamical consequences. The part of 8¢ to be thus adjusted is very small, depending on C; the mode of adjustment would probably be more fully in evidence, if we passed to the limit through a medium of slight com- pressibility. Precisely the converse mode of adjustment is in fact required in Lord Kelvin’s labile zther. In any case we can hold to the axiom (§ 24) that the variation of the Action introduces all the conditions that are really essential. 350 REPORT—1893. Recent Hlectrical Theories. 12. A recent very comprehensive memoir! by Drude, on this subject, begins by alluding to the enormous rotatory power of magnetised bodies dis- covered by Kundt, which places in strong light the direct magnetic origin of the phenomenon of rotation, and to the observation of Kundt that a film of non-magnetic metal deposited on a magnet destroys Kerr’s phenomena, so that they cannot be due to magnetic rotation in the air. He also re- marks on the insufficiency of the notion that before reflexion the light penetrates slightly into the magnet and so undergoes rotation in its sub- stance ; this notion is in the first place not precise or quantitative at all, and further it assigns to the surface layer of transition an influence in reflexion which is much too great in view of other optical phenomena. He then takes up one type of the formal equations of propagation in an isotropic medium, viz. (u, v, w) being a certain vector (the rotation in an isotropic elastic medium) 2 ae dt? and he works out as follows the results of adding on to the right-hand side terms of the various kinds originally suggested by Airy.

It is however difficult to see why equations arrived at in this manner are worthy of the detailed discussion and refutation to which Drude subjects them: though it is to be said that they agree formally with the equations of the earliest attempt to explain magnetic reflexion, that of Lorentz based on the Hall effect. The form of the rotational terms in the first of them (leaving out of account the character of the coefficient «b,/7”) is the same as the one to which we have been already guided as the correct type, by various lines of argument; and in fact the equations adopted by Drude himself are obtained by adding on these terms, some- what empirically, to the ordinary electro-magnetic equations of type du df dn hae. mt (aa =—0. 352 REPORT—1893. It may be observed that the analysis here given would apply equally if the equations just written were substituted for the fundamental equations from which it started. 13. The electrical views by means of which Drude accounts for the addition of terms of this kind to the electro-magnetic equations are as follows. He starts with the two circuital relations to which the equations of electrodynamics have been reduced by Heaviside, Hertz, and other expositors, of the types _ dy dp _da dR dQ Ce Peat dt dy da? in which as usual (1, v, w) is total electric current, (a, 6, y) is magnetic force, (a, b, c) is magnetic induction, and (P, Q, R) is electric force. To these equations we would, under ordinary circumstances, add relations depending on the structure of the medium, in the form for isotropic media, (a, b, c) ae (a, B, Y), (4 xw)=(~ +e) QR), where K is specific indactive capacity and o is specific conductivity. To introduce the magnetic rotatory property, Drude proposes to modify the second set of circuital relations ‘on Maxwell’s analytical basis, that to the kinetic energy of the medium which is expressed in simple form by means of the components of the magnetic force certain subsidiary terms are appended ; as according to Maxwell the magnetisation is to be con- sidered as a kind of molecular vortex or concealed motion (verborgene Bewegung).’ The modification which he assumes on this ground is a re- placement of the second circuital relation by one ee type _da_dR _1Q, dt dy dz AG ag, ue 7 Besback), keeping the other equations unaltered.

For periodic vibrations there is thus no dissipation of energy except ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. oe that due to conduction. But at the interface between two media the transmission of energy without accumulation on the surface requires that, the axis of « being assumed normal to the interface for the moment, in addition to the continuity of (3, y) the tangential magnetic force, we must have continuity in dR dP (Q+0, bs dP , dQ a Bb 8 GP). The tangential electrical force is therefore to be taken discontinuous ; and the author enters into explanations to minimise the repugnance which may be felt to such a hypothesis, their gist being that the part of the electric force derived from the relations of the system itself must be con- tinuous, but the part imposed from without need not be so. The weak point in this determination of the boundary conditions is the fact that, as the extra terms are supposed to have their origin in a new term in the energy, this term ought to have been included in the reckon- ing before we can draw any conclusions from the flux of energy across the interface. The equations of propagation are, for periodic motions in which —— —ir se of the type -@a_dQ_dR_d dP dP dP gee ag dy a Mag de ai where K’ is the complex quantity = Z +o, and where, when the axis of # is normal to an interface, the quantities above mentioned are to be con- tinuous across it.

These equations may also be variously expressed in terms of other vectors, e.g., of (P, Q, R) which is in the plane of the wave-front and transverse to the plane of polarisation, or of dQ. , aR (Pb 40.5%, Me ie )s The magnetic rotation is here to be explained by the single real vector coefficient (b,, bs, b;) ; and the same value of this coefficient is in fact found to give a fairly good account of the various circumstances attending the rotation of the plane of polarisation in magnetic reflexion by iron and nickel, while it is also of the same order of magnitude as would correspond to Kundt’s measures of the rotation produced by transmission through a thin film of iron. 14. A theory published a few months before by Goldhammer ! goes, on the other hand, on the assumption that the effect of the magnetic field _ ' D. A. Goldhammer, ‘ Das Kerr’sche . . , Phiinomen,’ Wied. Ann., xlvi, 1892, p. 71, 1893. rar 4 354 REPORT—1893. is to produce a temporary structural change in the medium. In the ordinary case of an isotropic medium — K d .

When the period 7/27 is very great the last terms, involving ee u,v, w), exert no appreciable effect, and so may be left out of account : dt . the vector coefficient (A,, 42, 43) which is left is the representative of the Hall effect. When the period 7/27 is very small, as in the case of light- waves, the rotational coefficient (1), 2, 43) is preponderant, and the other one (Aj, As, A3) may he neglected. We may also leave out of account the slight double refraction represented by the coefficients p,, fy, pf. a8 these are in nowise rotational. Thus, for an isotropic optical medium, the structural relation which connects electric force with electric current would reduce to the form fe ee age aE dQ 4r w du de ea ai in which Goldhammer takes (1, 19, 43) to be complex (unless the medium is transparent) and proportional to the intensity of the imposed magnetic field. This structural relation between magnetic induction and magnetic force is supposed to remain unmodifiable in form by magnetic or other disturbance. But it is not easy to understand the manner in which the relation is introduced into the equations of electro-dynamics, and the analysis to be given presently leads to a different result. The bodily equa- tions are expressed in terms of Maxwell's vector-potential ; they are the same in form as Drude’s equations expressed in terms of magnetic force ; and the boundary conditions assumed are continuity of the vector-potential ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. 355 and its first differential coefficients, and continuity of the electrostatic potential. 15. The equations of Drude may be subjected to an important trans- formation which will bring them into line with another class of electrical theories.

This leads to a relation of type ya Ae ae dv _, dw - ale at?) (wrtea 2s ne which differs from the structural relation assumed by Goldhammer, but is of thesame class. When this transformation is made, Drude’s boundary conditions become simply the ordinary ones which express that the tangential components of the electric force and the magnetic force are continuous in crossing the interface ; the difficulty as to discontinuity in the tangential electric force does not now occur. The special type of this relation which is assumed by Goldhammer is dP Kd FS dv dw dt \ de nt?)

He had previously rejected the coef- ficients (,, Xs, 43) of the Hall effect as being for light-waves negligible in comparison with those retained, although the purely imaginary part of a coefficient of type ,. must have the same character as they have, irrespec- tive of magnitude. It is, perhaps, difficult to see any reason which would give probability to this assumption that the coefficients of type p are complex quantities whose real and imaginary parts come to be pre- cisely of the same order of magnitude. 16. A general formal development of the equations of the electro- magnetic theory, which is necessarily wide enough to take account of all possible secondary phenomena, such as dispersion and circular polarisa- A A'Z 356 REPORT—1 893. tion, has been given in 1883 by Prof. Willard Gibbs,’ under the title of ‘An Investigation of the Velocity of Plane Waves of Light, in which they are regarded as consisting of solenoidal electrical fluxes in an indefinitely extended medium of uniform and very fine-grained structure.’ The principle on which his investigation is based is the very general idea that the regular simple harmonic light-waves traversing the medium excite secondary vibrations in its molecular electrical structure, which is supposed very fine compared with the length of a wave. When there is absorption the phases of these excited vibrations will differ from that of the exciting wave; but even in this most general case the simple harmonic electric flux with which we are alone concerned is at each point completely specified by six quantities, the three components of the flux itself, and the three components of its rate of change with the time. In the same way, the electric force may be similarly specified by six co- ordinates. Now the electric elasticity of the medium, as regards its power of transmitting waves, is specified by the relation connecting average force and average flux, this average referring to a region large compared with molecular structures, but small compared with a wave- length. The most general relation of this kind that can result from the elimination of the molecular vibrations must be of the form of six linear equations connecting the quantities specifying the flux with the quanti- ties specifying the force, the coefficients being functions of the wave- length. If E denote the force and U the displacement, ‘ we may there- fore write in vector notation LE] 4ce= ®[U Jarre ah ie renee where ® and ¥ denote linear functions. ‘The optical properties of the media are determined by the forms of these functions. But all forms of linear functions would not be con- sistent with the principle of the conservation of energy. ‘In media which are more or less opaque, and which, therefore, absorb: energy, ¥ must be of such a form that the function always makes an acute angle (or none) with the independent variable. In perfectly transparent media ¥ must vanish, unless the function is at right angles to the independent variable. So far as is known, the last occurs only when the medium is subject to magnetic influence. In perfectly trans- parent media the principle of the conservation ef energy requires that ® should be self-conjugate, 7.e., that for three directions at right angles to. one another the function and independent variable should coincide in direction. ‘In all isotropic media not subject to magnetic influence it is probable that © and W reduce to numerical coefficients, as is certainly the case with ® for transparent isotropic media.’ ?

When the oscillations are very slow the coefficient [ p] has still in a magnetic field a rotational part which reveals itself as the Hall effect; the presence of a d coefficient [a A could hardly be detected. On the other hand, with greater rapidity of vibrations, the importance of the rotational part in 1a increases steadily, and finally absolutely overshadows any possible effect of the [p] terms, unless the latter should contain a part whose 2 origin was of the form [ de |" If that were so, at a still higher rapidity of vibrations the [ p] terms would again become the important ones: but the wave-lengths would then be too small for such vibrations to have any physical reality. 17. The question occurs whether to secure complete generality a corresponding rotational quality should be imparted to the linear relation connecting the magnetic flux (7.e., magnetic induction) with the magnetic force. It is, however, usual to assume, on various grounds, that the vibrations of light are too rapid to allow of their being accompanied by an oscillating magnetisation of the material medium. The phenomena of magenetisation of iron leave possibly no room for doubt that the magnetic movement is an affair of loosely associated groups of molecules, not of individual molecules themselves, the free periods corresponding to these groups being much too slow to follow the light-vibrations. These groups are broken up at the temperature of recalescence without the occurrence of any very striking effect: nor is there any striking difference in kind between the behaviour of iron to light and the behaviour of non-magnetic metals. The effect of strong magnetisation on light-waves would be on this view a secondary effect due to a change of structure of the medium. Soon after the experimental discovery of the Hall effect, and the attention which was concentrated on it owing chiefly to the influence of Lord Kelvin, it was pointed out by J. Hopkinson that the existence of an effect of that character had been anticipated by Maxwell in his ‘ Treatise,’ vol. i. § 303, where in discussing the possibility of the occurrence of a rotational term in the equations expressing the general form of Ohm’s law of conduction, he remarks that such a coefficient ‘ we have reason to believe does not exist in any known substance. It should be found if anywhere in magnets, which have a polarisation in one direction, probably due to a rotational phenomenon in the substance.’ The theory of such rotatory coefficients had also been worked out long before by Lord Kelvin,' in a thermo-electric connexion. 18. It seems worth while to examine how much in the way of magnetic 1 Cf. Lord Kelvin (Sir W. Thomson), Collected Papers, vol. ii. 358 REPORT—1893. rotation can be got out of this relation by assuming the functions ® and W to have rotational quality; though Gibbs himself later on in his memoir qualifies its use by a statement that ‘the equation would not hold in case of molecular vibrations excited by magnetic force. Such vibra- tions would constitute an oscillating magnetisation of the medium, which has already been excluded from the discussion.’ If the rotational quality is simply due to a magnetic field, we may take for brevity the direction of its lines of force to be along the axes of z, and the equations will be u=eP—vQ v=eQ+vP w=eR K d d Lae ‘ where «= ke wit” and v is of the form at”: The circuital relations of types aes dy dB _da_dR_ dQ dy dz’ dt dy dz lead to ap_ a 4 2Q +7)= = QP. dQ vee a(E+5 dy mage marke dt Sy dé’ : : ds Thus the rotational operator, instead of being of Maxwell’s type dn2dt comes out of type O5 +4 ») 5; - a Though a rotational tale of this latter type, entering into the rela- tion between current and force, and conjoined with the ordinary equations of electro-dynamics, leads, as we have just seen, to precisely the same scheme as Drude’s to explain magnetic reflexion of waves of any single period ; yet in order to take into account Verdet’s laws of magnetic dis- persion (in transparent media) the coefficients \ and y have to be taken functions of the wave-lengths, whereas the coefficients in Drude’s form of theory remain constant for all wave-lengths. The relation of Gibbs is competent to give an account of the laws of reflexion and of crystalline propagation for any one wave-length, by altering so to speak the electric inertia of the medium; and it fails for dispersion simply because the only method it possesses of rendering an account of dispersion is by accepting the observed facts, and making the coefficients functions of the wave- length. Thus we ought not to allow its failure to agree with magnetic dispersion to tell too much against the mode of explaining magnetic reflexion now under discussion. Yet the fact remains that the scheme embodied in Drude’s equations has an advantage in comprehending a wider group of phenomena, and to that extent corresponds more funda- mentally with the mechanism of the action; while on the other hand it exhibits, especially with regard to the boundary conditions, a more empirical character. 19. These equations we have named after Drude because his memoir contains by far the most detailed comparison with observation that has yet been made. The same equations, however, had been used by a number of other writers. For transparent media they had been obtained by Rowland ! as equations of propagation, and they had been used by Fitz- 1H. A. Rowland, Phil. Mag., 1881. ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. 359 Gerald and by Basset! to calculate the circumstances of magnetic re- flexion, without, however, entering into the case of metallic media. While recently J. J. Thomson? has employed them in an independent discussion of the laws of magnetic reflexion, which corroborates the main conclu- sions of Drude without going so much into detail. In dielectric media Rowland and Basset proceed simply by assuming rotational terms in the expression for the electric force on the analogy of the Hall effect in metals ; and. FitzGerald, as we have seen, deduces his equations from a new term in the energy which represents the linking on of the magnetic system. It is shown by J. J. Thomson, in his discussion of Kerr’s results on reflexion, that in metals as well as dielectrics it is the time-rate of change of the induction or electric displacement, and not the total electric current, that combines with the magnetic field in the formation of this new term. The boundary conditions are determined by FitzGerald and Basset from the hypotheses that the tangential magnetic force shall be con- tinuous, and there shall be no concentration of energy, or quasi-Peltier effect, at the interface, subject however in the case of the latter to the same objection as has been applied above to Drude’s use of this principle ; while J. J. Thomson arrives at the same boundary conditions by postulating that the part of the electric force which is derived from the system itself must be continuous tangentially, whatever may happen to the part imposed from without. 20. There are thus two ways in which the magnetic field may affect the phenomena of light-propagation. The imposed magnetisation is an independent kinetic system of a vortical character which is linked on to the vibrational system which transmits the light-waves; the kinetic reaction between the two systems will add on new terms to the electric force: these terms are naturally continuous so long as the medium is continuous, but owing to their foreign origin they need not be continuous at an interface where the magnetised medium suddenly changes. At such an interface the other part of the electric force, which is derived from the vibrating system itself, has been assumed to be con- tinuous in the ordinary manner, viz., its tangential components con- tinuous ; the total induction through the interface must of course always Maintain continuity. This seems to be the type of theory developed by Maxwell in his hypothesis of molecular vortices (‘ Treatise,’ § 822), and the conditions to which it leads have been applied to magnetic re- flexion by the majority of writers on the subject, including Basset, Drude, J. J. Thomson. But against this procedure there stands the pure assumption as regards discontinuity of electric force at an inter- face. The correct boundary conditions would be derived from the modi- fication of FitzGerald’s procedure, which has been explained above. The other point of view is the purely formal one contemplated by Lord Kelvin and Maxwell in their discussions of possible rotational co- efficients introduced into the properties of the medium by magnetisation. The magnetisation is supposed to slightly alter the structure of the medium which conveys the light-vibrations, but not to exert a direct dynamical effect on these vibrations. It would appear from the analysis of Drude, and more particularly 1 A. B. Basset, Phil. Trans., 1891. 2 J. J. Thomson, ‘ Recent Researches . . .,’ § 408, seg 360 REPORT—1893. of J. J. Thomson,' that there is some ground for assuming the correct- ness of the equations to which the former method leads; and those equations may be expressed in the terms of the second method some- what as follows. The electric current is in a dielectric the rate of change of the electric displacement, which is of an elastic character; in a con- ducting medium part of the current is due to the continual damping of electric displacement in frictional modes: it may thus fairly be argued that the fundamental relation is primarily not between current and electric force, but between current and displacement, while the current is indirectly expressed in terms of electric force through the elastic relation between displacement and force. The equations would then run as follows, (£, 1, £) being the electric displacement : (2, v, w)= (5+5") (CF U] 49))5 where é=P—),Q+).R; n=Q—},R+b3P; €=R—b,P+5b,Q. This would make the relation between electric displacement and electric force of a rotational character, owing to the magnetisation. If the medium were not magnetised, Lord Kelvin’s argument might be employed for the negation of such a rotational character, on the ground that a sphere rotating in an electric field would generate a perpetual motion ; but as it is the rotation in the magnetic field would generate other electric forces. The frictional breaking down of displacement, viz., con- duction, is known to assume a slightly rotational character, as manifested in the Hall effect.

It has been remarked in this discussion of magneto-optic phe- nomena that a perfectly straightforward mechanical theory of magneto- optic reflexion would be obtained by adding on a uniaxial gyratory part to the energy-function of Lord Kelvin’s labile xther.2 The development of such a theory as this, after the manner already indicated, from the single basis of the principle of Least Action, would compare very favour- ably, by the absence of subsequent adjustment and assumption, with any of the foregoing explanations. It has possibly been observed that the energy-function of FitzGerald’s electro-dynamic analysis considered above is identical except as to surface terms with the energy-function of the labile «ether theory, when (é, 7, ¢) is taken to denote actual displacement of the medium. The differ- ence that, for plane-polarised light, (é, n, 2) is in the former case in the plane of polarisation, while in the latter case it is at right angles to that plane, is due, as we shall see, not to the fact that in the electric medium as ue is taken to be absolutely null, while in the da" dy ° dz labile zether the pressure is taken to be absolutely null or the medium is * J.

Mag., 1888. the compression ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. 361 supposed devoid of consistence to compression, but it is the result of the neglected surface-terms on the energy-function. The correlation between an electric theory and a mechanical theory which follows from this comparison has already been alluded to by Willard Gibbs.! It will be found below that there is a similar correlation between two mechanical theories. The vector (é, n, £) of FitzGerald’s equations is, as he points out, exactly the displacement in MacCullagh’s? quasi-mechanical theory of optical phenomena; and his analysis is for non-rotational media very much a translation of MacCullagh’s work into electric terminology. The method followed in MacCullagh’s extremely powerful investigation, which was independent of and nearly contemporary with those of Green, and, I think, of at least equal importance, was to discover some form of the energy-function of the optical medium which shall lead by pure dynamical analysis in Lagrange’s manner, without further hypothesis, to the various optical laws of Fresnel. In this he was completely successful, though Stokes‘ gives reason to doubt whether he has obtained the most general solution of his preblem. His optical work has, however, to a great extent failed to receive due recognition from various causes; in particular the objection has been emphasised by Stokes (loc. cit.), and generally ac- cepted, that the vector (£,7, £) which represents the light-disturbance in his analysis could not possibly be the displacement in a medium which transmits vibrations by elasticity in the manner of an ordinary elastic solid. ‘Indeed MacCullagh himself expressly disclaimed to have given a mechanical theory of double refraction. (It would seem, however, that he rather felt the want of a mechanical theory, from which to deduce the form of the function Q or V, than doubted the correctness of that form itself.) His methods have been characterised as a sort of mathematical induction, and led him to the discovery of the mathematical laws of certain highly important optical phenomena. The discovery of such laws can hardly fail to be a great assistance towards the future establish- ment of a complete dynamical theory.’ ° Since the date of these remarks the mechanical theory sought for has, I think, been supplied by Lord Kelvin’s notion ® of a medium domi- nated by some form of molecular angular momentum such as may be typified by spinning gyrostats imbedded in it. The gyrostatic part of the energy of strain of such a medium can be a quadratic function of its elementary twists or rotations, precisely after MacCullagh’s form. The conjugate tangential tractions on the faces of a rectangular element of volume, instead of being equal and of the same sign as in the elasticity of solid bodies, are equal and of opposite sign,’ just as Stokes pointed 1 J.

Consequently a framework free of elasticity of its own, and carrying a system of such gyrostatic cells, would be a mechanical representation of an «ther which corresponds with MacCullagh’s expression for the energy-function, and so would afford an explanation of optical phenomena on the lines of his analysis. The axes of the gyrostats will, in crystalline media, be concentrated in certain directions; but in any one direction as many must point back- wards as forwards. Any very slight violation of the latter condition will introduce into the medium directed rotational property with respect to the resultant axes of angular momentum; such we may imagine to be the effect of an imposed magnetic field. Non-directed rotational property will be a structural effect, due to mode of aggrega- tion. If the light-disturbance is represented by the displacement of the medium, it: will be in the plane of polarisation; while if it is represented by the rotation, it will be at right angles to that plane. According to this theory of light, the density of the «ther will be the same in all media; but in different media the distribution of angular momentum will vary. 22. The bodily equations of MacCullagh, when formulated in con- nexion with the boundary conditions appropriate to the theory of the elasticity of solids, which it is, I think, fair to say that their author never intended, and with which, in fact, Stokes pointed out that his whole scheme is inconsistent, have been shown! by various writers to lead to a wholly untenable account of reflexion. The investigation of MacCullagh himself, based purely on dynamical analysis, leads him to the boundary conditions which alone are consistent with his scheme, much in the manner of FitzGerald’s correlative electro- dynamic theory sketched above. These conditions are quite different from the ones appropriate for an elastic solid medium. The energy of MacCullagh’s medium depends only on rotation, and not sensibly on compression. The compressional term can in general be absent only because either (i) there is no resistance offered to pressure, so that no work is done by it, or (ii) the medium is incompressible so that pressure can do no work. The tangential tractions on either side of an interface are expressed in terms of rotation, not of distortion as in the elastic solid theory. The surface conditions are, however, theoretically too numerous, as MacCullagh knew but did not suffer from in the problem of crystalline reflexion, and as FitzGerald found irremediably in the magneto-optic problem. The way to remove this difficulty is to recognise, according to which of the above views we adopt, either (i) a local play of com- pression close to the interface which is not propagated away from it, which involves no sensible energy, but which renders it unnecessary to suppose the displacement normal to the interface to be continuous, or (ii) a play of pressure which is propagated from the interface with infinite velocity (i.e. attains instantly an equilibrium distribution in this paper is dominated by simple rotators imbedded in its structure, and the forcive is proportional to angular velocity. Lord Kelvin’s new rotational medium is dominated by complex gyrostatic cells, containing arrangements of Foucault gyro- stats, of which only the outer cases are firmly imbedded in the medium; and the forcive is proportional to the angular displacement. 1 @.

Mag., 1871. — sa : ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. 363 throughout the medium), and which therefore necessitates the modifi- cation of the equations of propagation as FitzGerald’s equations are modified (swpra, § 11), » in that analysis being clearly a hydrostatic pressure when (£,7, ¢) represents linear displacement of the medium. Any actual refracting system is of finite extent, so that the equi- librium state contemplated by (ii) is easily established throughout it: it is only for the simplification of analysis that it is customary to take the interface to be an unlimited plane. The discussion of crystalline reflexion which is given by MacCullagh takes no account of this pressure A, but makes an argument in favour of his theory out of the remarkable fact that although there are too many surface conditions compared with the number of variables, yet in no case is the introduction of such a pressure required by the analysis or the optical phenomena, provided the densities of both media are assumed to be the same; while FitzGerald’s further application to magneto-optic reflexion simply leaves the continuity normal to the interface unsatisfied, and so far tacitly adopts the first of the above alternatives, that the medium, considered as a mechanical one, offers no resistance to com- pression—a hypothesis which turns out to be untenable. 3. If these considerations are sound, we have the following con- clusions. The phenomena of light are explained on MacCullagh’s mathe- matical equations by a theory of pure rotational elasticity, without any accompaniment of the character of the elasticity due to change of volume or change of shape of an ordinary solid body; for linear vibrations the direction of the displacement of the medium is in the plane of polarisation of the light, while the axis of its rotation is at right angles to that plane. ‘There is, however, no occasion to take the medium devoid of resistance to compression: it may transmit longitudinal waves with finite velocity, and still no such wave will be produced by the refraction of a transverse wave. The electric theory of light is formally the same as MacCullagh’s theory, magnetic force corresponding to velocity, provided his medium is taken to be incompressible. The labile ether theory of Lord Kelvin is one that contemplates elastic quality depending on compression and distortion, 7.e., the ordinary elasticity of solid bodies, but the resistance of the medium to laminar compression is taken to be infinitesimal. The difference between MacCullagh’s theory and the electric theory does not, as has been just remarked, affect the problem of propagation in crystalline media, nor does it enter into the question of reflexion at an interface between either isotropic or crystalline media, the boundary conditions being all satisfied without any condensational disturbance ; it is not necessary to introduce either (i) interfacial compression or (ii) hydrostatic pressure, according to the two cases above, to preserve the continuity at the interface. But we have already seen that the difference between these hypotheses makes itself felt in the problem of magneto- optic reflexion. The labile «ther theory stands, according to the remark of Willard Gibbs, already quoted, in a relation of precise duality to the electric theory, and therefore also to the other limiting interpretation of MacCullagh’s theory, which postulates absence of volume elasticity ; the linear displacement in the labile ether corresponds to the rotation in the 364 REPORT—1893. rotational wther. And here there is a point which demands explanation. The energy-function is the same in both the labile ether and this rotational ether ; but the boundary conditions are different, being in the one case those of the elasticity of solids and in the other those of pure rotational elasticity. Yet, in the treatment of the subject proposed here, emphasis is laid, after MacCallagh, on the fact that the energy-function implicitly involves in itself the ‘boundary conditions. This difficulty is elucidated by observing that the expression 1 dé _dy OE tae dy >); a 2(BY i i= Z) a (- z) lee = 2 given by Lord Kelvin! for the potential energy of the labile ether does not represent the localisation of the energy, considered as that of an elastic solid.

Now a superficial distribution of energy is repre- sented mechanically by a surface-tension of equal intensity ; so that a surface-tension of this amount, varying from point to point, assists in keeping up the equilibrium of the interfacial layer, in addition to the surface forces indicated by MacCullagh’s analysis. Elucidation of a General Dynamical Principle. 24, A cardinal point in this correlation of different theories is the insist- ence on the validity of the proper application of MacCullagh’s doctrine that the energy-function of a medium, provided it is correctly localised, con- tains implicitly in it the aggregate of the boundary conditions at an inter- face between two different media; and that notwithstanding any apparent discrepancy in continuity that may still be outstanding after the conditions so obtained have been applied to the problem. The same principle had previously been formulated by Green,” in similar terms; ‘one of the advantages of this method, of great importance, is, that we are neces- sarily led by the mere process of the calculation, and with little care on our part, to all the equations and conditions which are requisite and sufficient for the complete solution of any problem to which it may be applied.’ On the practical application of this procedure some fresh 1 Lord Kelvin (Sir W.

ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT, 365: light may be thrown by the consideration of a quite similar difficulty in the dynamics of actual elastic systems, which has recently occupied the attention of several mathematicians. The vibrations of a curved elastic plate, in fact of a bell supposed of small thickness, have been worked out by Lord Rayleigh,' simply from the energy-function of the plate. The plate being thin, it can easily be deformed by bending; on the other hand to stretch it sensibly would be very difficult. For this reason the energy-function is formed by Lord Rayleigh on the assumption that the plate is perfectly inextensible, so that terms depending on exten- sion do not occur in its expression. Some years subsequently it was pointed out by Love * that this treatment does not allow of all the elastic conditions at the boundary of the plate being satisfied. Now on the principles here expounded the adjustment of these terminal conditions would be made by tensions in the plate, which, owing to the very rapid velocity of propagation of extensional disturbances, practically obey at each instant an equilibrium theory of their own, and at the same time involve the play of only a negligible amount of energy owing to the magnitude of their elastic modulus. If the plate were quite inextensible these tensions would be absolutely in equilibrium at each instant, and the energy-changes involved in them would be null. And this view is, I believe, in agreement with the mode of explanation now generally accepted for that problem.? The solution of the problem of vibration of a bell may thus be derived, as regards all things essential, from the energy-function, of the bending alone, combined explicitly or implicitly with the geometrical condition of absence of extension. Critique of Kirchhof’s Theory. 25. The principle implied in MacCullagh’s analysis is claimed to be identical, in its results if not in theory, with a hypothesis adopted by Kirchhoff in his discussion of crystalline reflexion, which is commonly quoted by German authors under the title of Kirchhoff’s principle. Its author employs it avowedly as a formal mathematical representation of assumptions made explicitly by F. Neumann, and tacitly he says by MacCullagh, in their theories, which it is the object of his memoir to reproduce and amplify. He attempts no dynamical justification of its use; on the other hand he rather formulates it as an additional hypo- thesis. At any rate it has been treated as a hypothesis by Kirchhoff’s followers in Germany, while its validity is suspected by some other writers who have considered the subject. The explanation of Kirchhoff himself in the introductory paragraph of his memoir, in comparing Neumann’s and MacCullagh’s theories, is here reproduced in a free translation. ‘Yet at the first glance the points of departure of the two theories would appear to be different, even diametrically opposed to each other. For Neumann starts from the view that the wether in respect of light-vibrations comports itself as an elastic solid, on whose elements no 1 Lord Rayleigh, ‘On the Infinitesimal Bending of Surfaces of Revolution,’ Proc. - Lond.

Akad., 1876; Gesammelte Abhandl., p. 352. 366 REPORT—1893. forces act except such as are called forth by their relative displacements ; while MacCullagh takes for the potential of the forces in operation on the elements of the zwther an expression which does not agree with the potential of the forces called into play by the relative displacements of the parts of an elastic solid. Thus in the theory of MacCullagh, if we are to treat the ether as an elastic solid, we must treat it as one which is acted on by forces in addition to those called into play by its elasticity. Yet of these other forces it may be proved from the energy-function adopted by MacCullagh that, taken throughout a portion of the ether in a homogeneous body, they reduce to tractions which operate on its surface. We can therefore assert, that the theory of MacCullagh rests on the hypothesis that on the elements of the ether no forces act except such as are derived from its elasticity; but on the surfaces which form the boundaries of heterogeneous media tractions are imposed which have some other origin. And such tractions must also be contemplated by Neumann’s theory ; their function is that we are by their aid empowered to leave the compressional wave out of consideration, just as happens in the former theory: they must exist, in order that compressional waves may not be set up in the reflexion and refraction of lighi-waves. The two theories compared can thus be seen to be in complete accord. I propose to myself to Jay before the Academy a treatment of the question from the standpoint of these theories which, I think, is more general and more comprehensive than those that have been given hitherto.’ These imposed interfacial forces are restricted merely to satisfy the condition that they shall do no work on any element during the actual displace- ments of the media; they are considered by Kirchhoff to be ‘ tractions from without (fremden Druckkriifte) which act on an element of the interface, tractions which, we are accustomed to assert, arise from the forces which the ponderable parts of the two media sustain from the ether”! The forces contemplated by Kircbhoff’s principle, in order to allow of the condition of incompressibility being satisfied, are thus only interfacial tractions, which form an equilibrating system in so far as they do no work in any displacement actually contemplated. According to the elucidation and extension of MacCullagh’s principle which is here proposed, they should be taken to be a system of pressures distributed throughout the media, which do no work for the displace- ments actually contemplated, and which are in so far equilibrating. These pressures will be discontinuous at an interface; and will hence modify the boundary conditions in the same manner as Kirchhoff’s extraneous forces. 26. In the account of Kirchhoff’s principle given by Volkmann,? the view is propounded that such a principle is necessary because the equa- tions of an elastic solid medium, with the addition of a pressure intro- duced in the manner indicated above (§ 11), will not lead to an account of reflexion which is in accordance with experiment. Quoting from Kirchhoff’s lectures on Optics (p. 145), ‘We have to recognise that the elasticity of the ether is different in the various transparent media, different in glass, for example, from what it is in empty space. We are not in a position to form for ourselves a clear representation as to how the alteration of the elasticity of the wether in glass is brought about; but 1 G. Kirchhoff, loc. cit. ; Gesammelte Abhandl., p. 367. * P. Volkmann, Theorie des Lichtes, 1891 .§ 76. ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. 367 still we can say that it is a consequence of forces which the elements of the ponderable matter exert on the elements of the wether. As therefore such forces are present they must exert a direct influence on the motion of the elements of the ether at the boundary of the glass, though in the interior of the glass they have only an indirect influence in altering the elasticity of the wether. The relations of the direct action of these forces at the surface and in the interior are similar to those which hold with capillary forces, which also are only of influence at the surfaces of fluids, and are not felt in the interior.’ This quotation has been given at length, as it puts the case precisely. The reply is that it is only a confession of total ignorance as to the distribution of the energy throughout the mass of the media which would permit us to prop up the boundary conditions by extraneous forces in this manner. In the theory of capillarity the surface-tractions are derived from the distribution of energy throughout the mass of the liquid; and if they could not be deduced rationally from some possible volume distribution of energy, it would have to be held that they were erroneous. So here, if Kirchhoff’s extraneous surface- tractions cannot be deduced from some energy-function of the complex medium (ether and matter) which is the seat of the undulations, there is absolutely no basis left for them. It will not suffice to say that at the boundary there is interaction between the ether and the matter, and a gradual transition in density caused by the equilibration of such action: if the depth of this layer of transition is a small fraction of the wave- length, the introduction of the energy-function appropriate to it would have but a small influence on the variation of the total energy, and so would not sensibly affect the results. In so far as the introduction of the pressure arising mathematically from the condition of incompressibiiity will not make an elastic theory work, that theory has simply not been sustained ; in various theories above mentioned the introduction of the pressure is efficacious, and they are in so far verified and in a position to be further tested by application to more complicated phenomena. Although it would seem that Kirchhoff’s method cannot be main- tained, yet, as he remarks, his formal equations come out the same as those of the rotational theory represented by MacCullagh’s equations ; so that his detailed development of the problem of crystalline reflexion will be in agreement with MacCullagh’s, and holds good so far as it goes. 27. In the theory of Neumann, which contains one of the first attempts at a rational dynamical treatment of reflexion and refraction, he starts with equations for the strain of an elastic crystalline medium, of the imperfect type, however, which the then current elastic theory of Navier and Poisson supplied. By assumption of special rela- tions between the constant coefficients of these equations, he obtained a form which led approximately to Fresuel’s laws of double refraction.! He then applied this form to the problem of crystalline reflexion,” but found, I suppose, that the six conditions which he recognised as necessary to ensure continuity of displacement and stress at the interface could not all be satisfied. To satisfy them in a case of an ordinary compressible medium would require the introduction of a wave of longitudinal dis- placement in each medium, set up in the act of refractiun; Neumann’s 1 F. E. Neumann, Pogg. Ann., xxv. 2 F. E. Neumann, Abhandlungen der Berliner Akademie, 1835. This memoir pro- ceeds throughout on the method of rays, without explicit consideration of the elasticity of the medium. 368 REPORT—1893. medium being incompressible, he did not take account of such waves, and so was in difficulty with his boundary equations. He cut the knot by assuming that the displacement is continuous across the interface, in other words that there can be no rupture of material continuity ; and by omitting altogether all conditions of continuity of stress, replacing them by the principle that there is no loss of energy in the act of refraction and reflexion. This, as Kirchhoff remarks, is equivalent to an admission that the equilibrium (or vibrational motion) of an indefinitely thin layer, including in it the interface, is maintained by the aid of forces introduced somehow from outside the vibrating system; but that, as the energy of the incident light is accounted for exactly by that of the reflected and refracted light, these forces must be subject to the condition that they do no work on any element of this surface layer in the displacements to which the medium is actually subjected during the motion, On this basis Neumann obtains Fresnel’s equations of reflexion, by aid of the hypotheses that the displacement of a linear wave is in the plane of polarisation, and that media differ optically in elasticity but not in density. As we have seen, Kirchhoff adopts and expounds the method initiated by Neumann for getting over the boundary difficulty. But his main argument is that if we do not assume surface forces from without we are helpless, that such forces exist, as is inferred from molecular theory, but that all we know about them is that in their play they cannot absorb any of the energy of the light. His method of procedure would therefore be to assume the most general possible type of such forces subject to this one condition, and then try by special assumption to adjust them to the final result he desires. There is clearly no dynamical validity in this, it is purely empirical; the surface forces may really be subject (as we shall see, are subject) to other unknown laws as well, which will not, with the assumed energy-function of the medium, allow of the desired solution. The process would then only prove that the assumed energy-function is untenable. 28. The correct method is the one indicated above. The energy of the medium is associated with the medium in bulk, is located in its elements of volume. In Gauss’ theory of capillarity it is true that inter- facial energy is contemplated, but that is only the actual excess or defect of the energy in the very thin layer of transition over what its amount would be if the transition was supposed sharp and the density of the energy in the elements of each medium near the surface were unaltered by the neighbourhood of the other medium. It is this portion of the energy that produces superficial effects such as surface-tension, though owing to the thinness of the interfacial layer it forms only a very minute fraction of the whole energy, the distribution of the other part being uni- form. Now the propagation of vibrations across the interface is an affair of the redistribution of the energy of the medium en masse; if we make the ordinary optical hypothesis that the layer of transition is very thin compared with the length of a wave, we may be certain that there is no superficial term of sensible importance in the vibrational energy of the system. The only superficial forces which can come in are, then, those which enter logically in the dynamical analysis of the motion, on the basis of a volume distribntion of energy in the medium, the determination of whose form is part of the problem. Until the possibilities of this state- ment of the problem are exhausted, it would appear to be gratuitous and unscientific to assume the existence of unknown surface-forces; and more- ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. 369 over, as these forces could only arise from the existence of a finite layer of transition, so not only would their assumption be purely empirical, but the present method of investigation of the problem of reflexion would actually no longer apply : if there is to be a finite layer of transition, the postulation of material continuity of the media across it by means of a single set of surface conditions would be meaningless. 29. In the light of these remarks it will be of interest to follow some- what in detail Kirchhoff’s discussion of the general problem of crystalline reflexion and refraction, to find out how far his imposed surface forces satisfy the conditions that we here demand of them, namely, of being deducible from a bodily energy-function. Kirchhoff restricts himself to an elastic solid wether; three sets of waves will thus be possible with a given front; the restriction that the displacement for two of these waves shall be in the plane of the front confines the energy-function to Green’s well-known form.! He then neglects the first term involving the compression, in Green’s formula, on the ground that in the transverse waves the density of the medium remains unaltered,? so that such a term can have no influence on the equations. If he had definitely omitted this term from the energy, the analysis, as carried out by him without an introduced pressure, would have shown that the function so modified belongs to a medium in which a compressional wave is propagated with null velocity, in fact a medium which (like Lord Kelvin’s foam) opposes no resistance to laminar com- pression, though it does resist wniform compression with a finite volume- elasticity. Green was not able to do away in this manner with the terms producing a normal wave, because he thought his medium would be un- stable ; and possibly the same idea suggested Kirchhoff’s cautious pro- cedure.

By in- tegration by parts, all the terms of the volume integral /Fdr except U are clearly expressible as surface integrals; while U, the remaining volume distribution, is identical with the complete energy-function of MacCullagh’s medium. The interfacial part of the energy F', when thus expressed, is (l,m, n), being direction cosines, the difference in value on the two sides of the interface of the expression d d ae —2a,, (mn = —nb ay —2age(né © UE = —2aga(1E 5 —mn =) d d d . —2( arog, tangle") (E+ mn +nZ) dé .dn dé aes” where +2(a31E +a3;mn +a, ,nZ) ( 1 G.

Now on any form of interpretation of MacCullagh’s theory, no ex- traneous interfacial forces at all are required to satisfy the boundary conditions ; if the present theory is to agree with it, we might expect that there will be required only interfacial forces such that their activity will for the actual motion just undo the variations of this surface-energy. But the boundary conditions of MacCullagh are (§ 9) > al) dU E (Set is ane dg ET all continuous, where |Udr is the statical energy; and these do not suffice to make this surface-energy constant, z.e., the time variations of the above expression continuous across the interface. As already re- marked, the theories of Kirchhoff and MacCullagh are formally identical ; therefore there must be some discrepancy here. It is in fact the circum- stance that this surface-integral part of the energy has lost its correct location, and does not really belong to the place with which it is now analytically associated. Again, Kirchhoff’s actual procedure is to take the tractions (X, Y, Z) and (X’, Y’, Z’) on the two sides of the interface that are derived in Lagrange’s manner from the energy-function, and to equate to nothing their activity dé dy dé —X’') ~—4+(Y-Y’) 2 | nes cs dat | Sh ee Lil If &, n, f are quite independent this will give three boundary conditions just as before, and will be no help. But in the motion to which he restricts himself, £, 7, are the displacements in a plane-wave, and so are functions of the same linear function of 2, y, z and ?¢; he finds that the introduction of this restriction reduces the conditions to two, and so allows further progress. The reason which Kirchhoff assigns for the two theories of himself and MacCullagh being analytically in agreement is that they can only differ as to boundary conditions, that he gets to a definite theory by his principle of extraneous forces, and that MacCullagh’s definite theory also satisfies this principle from the simple fact that there are no extraneous forces. But then the energy-functions are not the same in the two theories. The Fresnel laws of reflexion are obtained by Neumann really by the hypothesis that for rays, 7.e., for simple wave-trains, no loss of energy occurs in the reflexion. This is a much narrower priuciple than its generalisation by Kirchhoff; and, as we have seen, to make his generalisation work, the latter has to return practically to Neumann’s form in which it is restricted to plane-waves. These considerations are set forth as showing the artificial character of Kirchhoff’s principle, and illustrating the various mistakes and mis- conceptions which may arise in connexion with a subtle point of analytical dynamics, of which the physical bearing has not, I think, been realised by many of the writers on this subject. ON THE ACTION OF MAGNETISM ON LIGHT. afl In contrast with these explanations, the real reason why the theories of MacCullagh and Kirchhoff agree in their results will now be stated. It is simply that, when £, n, ¢ are functions of a linear function of a, y, z and ¢, and therefore are the displacements in a plane-wave of some form, the unmodified expression for Kirchhoff’s energy-function F reduces to MacCullagh’s energy-function U, the various Jacobian expressions d(n, £)/d(y, z), &e., contained in it being all null. For a wave with a spherical or other curved form of front, these terms would not thus dis- appear; and the boundary conditions could not, I think, be reduced to the proper number by Kirchhoff’s process. The conclusion to be drawn from this would be as before mentioned, not that reflexion cannot be explained, but that Green’s expression for the energy, as employed by Kirchhoff, is untenable. We have seen that a labile ether gives results conjugate to, but not the same as, those of the rotational ether corresponding to Mac- Cullagh’s equations. It is also known that Neumann’s simple theory which can be expressed by means of rays, without technical considera- tions of elasticity, leads to the same results as MacCullagh’s; and we now see that Kirchhoff’s method would lead to the same result. Now the elastic solid theory of Kirchhoff is in its elements just the same as the labile zther elastic solid theory; and yet Kirchhoff gets a different result out of it. This demonstrates still further the faultiness of his procedure: he is not entitled to throw away the Jacobian terms in the energy because they happen to be null for the plane-wave kind of motion which he assumes to be the only one to which the reflexion will give rise ; though he happens to be led to the correct result by equilibrating them, as he can clearly do for this particular case, by extraneous surface tractions of nullactivity. Further, it thus appears that, according to the form he takes for his extraneous forces, he can arrive from the same data at either of two conjugate theories of reflexion. Mechanical Illustrations of MacCullagh’s Theory. 30. The conclusions here arrived at naturally tempt one to pursue the invention of mechanical illustrations of the ether. Lord Kelvin _ proposes to realise and illustrate his labile contractile sther by a homo- geneous mass of foam free from air. Such a medium, when distorted, will have its equilibrium disturbed, and will tend to recover itself; when uniformly compressed it will exhibit volume-elasticity. But when it is compressed in one direction only in plane layers, there will be no tendency to recover: its Young’s modulus will be null, and so there will exist a fixed ratio between its compressibility and its rigidity, an inter- esting result which it would be rather difficult to investigate directly. _ Longitudinal waves will thus not be propagated in the medium. We have also two types of Lord Kelvin’s gyrostatic zthers, one of _ them with pure rotational elasticity and no compressional or distortional elasticity, the other incompressible but with no distortional elasticity ; _ either of them will represent MacCullagh’s equations. A mechanical realisation of an ether of the second kind has been proposed by Fitz- Gerald as consisting of a web of long vortex filaments, interlaced together in homogeneous frictionless incompressible liquid, with any desired iso- tropic or crystalline quality: but even if we could be assured that such a system could subsist, and not be at once hopelessly entangled and BB one REPORT—1893. destroyed owing to instability, as seems likely, its elasticity would appear at first sight to depend on angular velocity and not on angular displace- ment, so that it could not have the properties of MacCullagh’s ether.! Lord Kelvin has recently occupied himself? with the dynamics of media composed of gyrostats mounted on framework having various degrees of mechanical freedom. It is possible to imagine frames devoid of dis- tortional elasticity and either incompressible or devoid of compressional elasticity, one of the former class being simply composed of rectangular’ parallelepipedal webs hinged together, each web consisting of three systems of parallel rods freely jointed at their points of meeting. But we ought not to lose sight of the fact that a gyrostatic sether will be effective, whatever be its modulus of compressibility, provided it has no purely distortional elasticity. Thus FitzGerald’s fluid need not be incompressible ; an oblique parallelepipedal frame on which to mount the gyrostats will do equally as well as a rectangular frame ; and we may also have more complicated forms.% The wide field of physical theory which is opened up by this remark that in a rotational ether, however heterogeneous it may be, com- pressional waves are propagated in perfect independence of rotational waves, must be reserved for future consideration. A generalisation of Maxwell’s electrodynamic equations has been already proposed and dis- cussed by von Helmholtz, which introduces the possibility of compres- sional disturbances ; but that theory is on quite a different footing from the one here suggested, in that Helmholtz’s compressional wave interacts with the rotational one, getting mixed up with it at each refraction into a different medium. The only optical phenomena which the compression can affect, on MacCullagh’s theory, appear to be magneto-optic reflexion and possibly other such secondary disturbances, depending on the introduction of* terms of higher orders into the energy-function.

(Drawn up by the Secretary.) ‘Tue object of the Committee appointed to study this matter has been to ‘determine by experiment the relative fastness to light of the colours dyed on textile fabrics with the various natural and artificial colouring matters. For this purpose patterns of silk, wool, and cotton have been dyed with equal percentages (2 per cent.) of the various commercial artificial colouring matters. With the natural colouring matters the patterns were ‘dyed to approximately the same depth of colour. The patterns were exposed to light at Adel, a country district about five miles to the north of Leeds, in order to avoid the influence of town smoke, sulphurous acid, &c., the prevailing winds being westerly. The patterns were pinned on deal boards covered with white calico, fixed in a vertical position in glazed wooden cases, so arranged as to permit free circulation of the air and moisture after filtration through cotton wool to exclude dust, &c. The exposing cases were set up in the grounds of Jas. A. Hirst, Esq., to whom the best thanks of the Committee are due for his kind permission to do so. Hach dyed pattern was divided into six pieces, one of which was protected from the action of light, while the others were exposed for different periods of time. The shortest period of exposure, or ‘ fading period,’ was about three weeks (May 24 to June 14, 1892), and a record of the fading power of this period was kept by exposing along with the patterns a special series of ‘standards’ dyed with selected colouring matters. These standards were removed from the action of the light along with the first set of dyed patterns at the end of the first ‘fading period ’ (May 24 to June 14, 1892). The faded standards were then at once replaced by a fresh unexposed series, and these were allowed to fade to the same extent as the first, when, a second period of exposure equal in fading power to the first having thus been marked off, a second set of the dyed patterns were removed from the action of light along with the second series of faded standards. The latter were again renewed as before to mark off the next ‘fading period.’ The fourth and fifth sets of dyed patterns were submitted to an exposure equivalent to two or three ‘fading periods’ in order that the fifth set might have an exposure of one year. The above method was adopted in order to be able to expose dyed patterns to an equal amount of fading in different years, irrespective of ’ the time of the year or the conditions of light, moisture, temperature, c&c. Tt was rendered necessary indeed in consequence of the practical impos- sibility of exposing simultaneously a complete set of dyed colours. During the year 1892-93 the red dyes on wool and silk have been exposed. For want of sufficient exposing space, however, the Congo colours and some others, as well as the reds dyed on cotton, had to be omitted. During 1893-94 the orange and yellow dyes are being exposed, and the remaining colours will be exposed in subsequent years 374 REPORT—1893. until all have been examined. There is no doubt but that the behaviour of dyed colours towards light and other agencies depends upon several factors, e.g., the chemical constitution of the colouring matter itself, the kind of fibre to which it is applied, the method of application, &c. With so many variables a full and complete examination of the question of the fastness of dyes proves to be one of extreme complexity and difficulty, Even to determine effectually the nature of the relationship existing be- tween the molecular constitution of colouring matters and their behaviour towards light seems to necessitate the employment of chemically pure dye-stuffs, and that the dyeing should be so arranged as to have an equal number of molecules of colouring matter on a given weight of textile material. Having regard, therefore, to the difficulties connected with the purification of such a large number of colouring matters as are now in use, their varying colouring power, the different degree to which they exhaust the dye-bath, &c., it seemed better, for the present at least, to confine our attention to a comparison of the relative fastness to light of the various distinct commercial colours, the results of which might form a basis for a further examination in the direction alluded to. The dyed and faded patterns have been entered in pattern-card books in such a manner that they can be readily compared with each other. The following tables give the general result of the exposure experi- ments made during the year 1892-93, the colours being divided, according to their behaviour towards light, into the following five classes: Very fugitive, fugitive, moderately fast, fast, very fast. The initial numbers refer to the order of the patterns in the pattern books, The 8. and J. numbers refer to Schultz and Julius’ ‘ Tabellarische Uebersicht der ktinstlichen organischen Farbstoffen.’ Cuass I. Very Fuerrive Conours. (Wo0t.) The colours of this class have faded so rapidly that at the end of the first ‘fading period’ (May 24 to June 14, 1892) only a very faint colour remains, and at the end of the fifth period (one year) all traces of the original colour have disappeared, the woollen cloth being quite white or of a yellowish tint.

The foregoing colours were dyed on silk, employing 2 per cent. colouring matter, and the patterns were exposed to light, along with those on wool, with the result that the relative fastness of the various ‘colours was practically the same as on wool. GENERAL RESULT. The experiments extend at present over too limited a number of colouring matters to enable one to draw fixed general conclusions, but it may be well already at this point to record the following observations. The most fugitive reds on wool and silk are the eosins and allied colours. Curiously enough, the introduction of the methoxy group, as in methyl-eosin, &c., increases the fastness, not of the colour as a whole, but of the pale faded tint which results after the first few weeks’ exposure. As already stated, this tint remains practically unchanged even after a whole year’s exposure. This is specially noticeable on the silk patterns. With respect to the rosindulines, it is interesting to note that the G shades are very fugitive, while the B shades are moderately fast. All basic reds belong to the more or less fugitive class, including, namely, the magentas, safranines, and rhodamines, The nature of the -acid with which the colour base is combined seems to have no influence upon the fastness of the dyed colour. Comparatively few (about twenty) of the azo reds examined are fugitive, and these belong chiefly to the simple monazo colours. The great bulk of the fast and moderately fast reds belong to the azo -colours, the so-called secondary disazo colours being generally faster than the rest. It is evident, however, that the fastness of these azo colours depends, not only upon the base which is azotised, but also upon the character of the naphthol-sulphonic acid employed. This is especially noticeable in the chromotropes, in which a particular dioxynaphthalene disulphonic acid is employed, and all of which are remarkable for their fastness. The particular azo compound and phenol united together is also of importance. With respect to the milling and cloth reds, it does not appear that the use of mordants with them increases their fastness to light. The number of very fast reds is extremely limited, but it includes both natural and artificial dyes—namely, madder, cochineal, kermes, alizarin, and the chromotropes 2 R and 2B. When it becomes possible to expose the Congo reds, one or two others will no doubt have to be added to the list of very fast artificial red dyes. In this connection it may be pointed out that certain reds obtained from the natural dye-stuffs are fugitive, namely, those obtained from Lima-wood, Cam-wood, and the allied woods. It is well to add that there are no sharp lines of division with respect to ON THE ACTION OF LIGHT UPON DYED COLOURS. 38 fastness to light among the various reds, and each of the five classes into: which they have been here arbitrarily divided includes colours which differ from each other more or less in this respect. The Action of Light on the Hydracids of the Halogens in presence of Oxygen.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Dr. W. J. RussELL, Captain W. pe W. Asyey, Professor W. N. Hartiey, Professor W. Ramsay, and Dr. A. Ricwarpson (Secretary). Since the last report was presented the attention of the Committee has been directed to a consideration of the conditions necessary to start the decomposition of moist gaseous hydrogen chloride, and of aqueous solutions of the acid when exposed to the combined influence of sunlight and oxygen. It has been repeatedly noticed that, although decomposition of the gaseous mixture, when once started, proceeds at a fairly uniform rate in different samples, yet the time of exposure necessary to start the decomposition varies within very wide limits, although the con- ditions under which exposure is made appear to be the same in each ease. It was also noticed that there was more difficulty in starting de- composition in hard than in soft glass tubes. This seems to indicate that the nature of the glass itself materially affects the initial stage of decomposition, which is dependent upon the length of time during which the acid has been kept in contact with the glass, as is borne out by such results as the following. Nine glass tubes having been filled with aqueous solutions of the acid of varying strength were exposed to. sunlight. At the end of six months it was found that the most concen--. trated of these solutions had been decomposed, the others being un-. changed, while after twelve months the three strongest of the remaining: solutions showed by their yellow colour that they also had been decom- osed. F This is quite explicable on the ground that the stronger acid more- rapidly dissolves out the constituents of the glass, and suggested that the: presence of some metallic chloride is required to start the decomposition. of the acid. Following up this line a large number of experiments have: been made on the influence of metallic chlorides in promoting decom- position, and, although the results are not sufficiently advanced to allow of our giving full details at present, they appear fully to bear out the: above hypothesis. For instance, it was found that the addition of a minute quantity of pure dry alumina to a tube containing moist hydrogen chloride and oxygen brought about rapid decomposition of the acid on exposure to light, while precisely similar samples to which no alumina had been added remained stable for long periods. The Investigation of Isomeric Naphthalene Derivatives.—Seventh Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor W. A. TILDEN and Professor H. E. ArMstRonG (Secretary). (Drawn up by Professor ARMSTRONG.) In previous reports attention has been over and over again directed to the alpha-law of substitution as the dominant law in the case of naphtha- 382 REPORT—1893. lene, and to the numerous apparent departures from this law observed in the formation of sulphonic acids. Most interesting examples of the for- mation of a-derivatives are afforded by Cleve’s recent invaluable obser- vations on the behaviour of the chlorides of ten of the chloronaphtha- lenesulphonic acids on nitration (‘Ofversigt af Kongl. Vetenskaps- Akademiens Forhandlingar,’ 1892, No. 9: presented November 9; 1893, Nos. 2,3, and 5: presented February 8, March 14, May 9). His results are displayed in a subsequent diagram, in which also the properties of the various derivatives are indicated, as the Swedish publication in which they are described is not generally available. The formula of the chlorosulphochloride is given in the first column of symbols; that of the resulting nitro-derivative or derivatives in the second; and that of the corresponding trichloronaphthalene obtained by the action of phosphorus pentachloride in the third. In the table of (-derivatives the results obtained by Dr. Wynne and the writer on sulphonating the £-chlorosulphonic acids! are included for comparison with those obtained on nitrating their chlorides. It will be seen that in the case of the a-chloro acids the nitro-group in every instance takes up the ‘ opposite’ a-position; only in two cases are (-compounds obtained. In the case of the /3-chloro acids the nitro-group assumes the a-position con- tiguous to the (-chlorine atom—a most interesting and significant result. The results obtained on nitration are strikingly different from those attending sulphonation; it can scarcely be doubted, however, that in the case of sulphonic acids the formation of (-acids is due to secondary changes, but opinions differ as to the nature of these. It appears to be commonly supposed that when sulphonation takes place at high tem- peratures, and in presence of excess of acid, a-sulphonic groups become split off, and that sulphonation then occurs in /-positions; Dr. Wynne and the writer have been unable to discover any proof of direct sulpho- nation of the /-position, and incline to the belief that the formation of }-sulphonic derivatives is either the outcome of isomeric change or— and probably most frequently—of polysulphonation followed by hydro- lysis. Thus, naphthalene--sulphonic acid is not improbably the final product of the following series of changes : AA AA RU Boers Ts SQES@GEsohesaaele SI ee MOA PS) Ss 5 1 The results of our examination of the sulphonation products of all the obtain- able chloronaphthaienesulphonic acids are yet to be published. It may not be out of place to state that the work which was expressly reserved in 1890—the examina- tion of the sulphonation products of the chloronaphthalenemonosulphonie acids (first notice, Proc. Chem. Soc., 1890, p. 131), and of the corresponding naphthyl- aminemonosulphonic acids (first notice, Proc. Chem. Soc., 1890, p. 128)—is nearly com- pleted. As the object of the work is the determination of the positions assumed by the entering sulphonic radicle in the two classes of derivatives, there is little to be gained in publishing the results until the constitution of each disulphonie acid has been ascertained beyond question. This has involved characterising the trichloro- naphthalenes more definitely than by melting-point determinations, and, as in the ease of the dichloronaphthalenes (Proc. Chem. Soc., 1890, p. 77; Brit. Assoc. Rep., 1891), this is being carried out mainly by examining the acids obtained by sul- phonating each of the fourteen isomeric trichloronaphthalenes (first notice, Proc. Chem. Soc., 1890, p. 76). ON ISOMERIC NAPHTHALENE DERIVATIVES. 383 We have in a previous report directed attention to the fact that the polysulphonic acids which can be obtained by sulphonation are of certain types, and that there is, in fact, an invincible objection on the part of two $O3H groups—under conditions thereby prevailing—to remain in either contiguous, or para-, or peri-positions. During the year we have been able to examine three of the naphthalenedisulphonic acids which cannot be obtained by direct sulphonation, 7.e., the 1 : 2,1: 4, and 1: 1’ acids, having prepared these, and the 2 : 3 : 2’-naphthalenetrisulphonic acid by an indirect method communicated to us by Dr. Duisberg.! With the aid of these acids and of others prepared by the same method we hope to further elucidate the phenomena of sulphonation. We have ascertained that of the three acids prepared by sulphonating chloro-G-naphthylamine hydrochloride, viz.— cl cl cl és in NH, ae : NH, sf i _ NH, WV DAY | No. 1. No. 2. No. 3. Nos. 2 and 3 are of independent origin; in other words, that, although both can be obtained from No. 1, No. Y is not convertible into No. 3 under the conditions which admit of the conversion of No. | into Nos. 2 and 3. It is noteworthy that, in the formation of the No. 2 and No. 3 acids, chloronaphthylaminedisulphonic acids always accompany the two monosulphonic acids, and the investigation of these compounds, so far as it has progressed, affords further evidence in favour of our view of the complexity of the phenomena underlying the formation of /-sulphonic acids.” Another case which may be referred to is that of the formation of 1: 2 a-naphthylamine /3-sulphonic acid from naphthionic acid (1 : 4), which is effected by heating the sodium salt of the latter at about 200°. It appears probable to us that the change involves the formation of a disulphonic acid, which then undergoes hydrolysis, yielding the ortho-acid, thus :— NH, NH, NH, oo as (oaae ria | seks eo Sans WK The production of disulphonic acid may be the outcome either of direct interaction of two molecules of the monosulphonic acid or of the action of acid sulphate formed by the agency of traces of water unavoidably present in thesalt. It hasactually been observed that hydrated potassium 1: 2:4 a-naphtholdisulphonate yields the ortho-mono-sulphonate when heated. The superior stability of the ortho- as compared with the para- sulphonate thus brought into evidence in the case of both naphthol and naphthylamine is highly remarkable, bearing in mind the extreme in- stability of the corresponding benzene derivatives, and is evidence that the 1 Cf.

The special properties of the -sulphonic derivatives of naphthalene are doubtless a consequence of a structural peculiarity of the cycloid. It is especially from this last point of view that observations such as are here alluded to are of particular interest, and it may be permitted to draw atten- tion to them as illustrating the circumstance that facts which in themselves are of no special value may become of more than usual interest when con- sidered in connection with the larger problems underlying all investigations of details. In the course of the further study of the action of bromine on beta-naphthol derivatives interesting results have been obtained which may be here mentioned. If an aqueous solution of potassium 2 ; 2’ beta- naphthol-sulphonate be subjected to the action of even a large excess of bromine, potassium bromohydroxynaphthaquinone sulphonate is pro- duced, together with a very small proportion of dibromohydroxynaphtha- quinone; but if an aqueous solution of this quinone sulphonate be warmed with bromine it becomes oxidised to a brominated sulphophthalic acid ; apparently, in the former case, the presence of hydrogen bromide in excess prevents the bromine acting as an oxidising agent. It is easy to obtain a monobromosulphonate and the quinone sulphonate by the action of bromine on an aqueous solution of Schaeffer’s salt, but the preparation of the intermediate di- and tri-bromosulphonates is very difficult. If, however, the salt be suspended in muriatic acid it is easy to convert it wholly into tribromosulphonate and to avoid the production of quinone sulphonate. Recently it has been ascertained that if 2 : 3’ beta- naphtholsulphonic acid be dissolved in muriatic acid it is wholly con- verted into tetra-bromo-beta-naphthol by the mere addition of an excess of bromine; as the product of the action of an excess of bromine on beta-naphthol is a mixture of the tri- and tetra-bromo-derivative, which are separated only with difficulty, this observation affords a welcome method of preparing tetra-bromo-beta-naphthol. The readiness with which bromine, in presence of muriatic acid, displaces the sulphonic radicle- from the acid, but not from the salt, is calculated to excite surprise.

C. Roserts-AusTEN (Chairman), Sir F. Apet, Mr. E. RILey, Mr. J. SPILLER, Professor J. W. LANGLEY, Mr. G. J. SNELUS, Professor TILDEN, and Mr. THomas TuRNER (Secretary). (Drawn wp by the Secretary.) In the previous report of this Committee it was mentioned that, so far as the original four steel standards were concerned, the work of the British analysts was completed. It was also stated that the American Committee had nearly finished its labours on these standards, and hoped to publish the results in a few months. Owing to the long distances over which the members of the American Committee are scattered, and the fact that some of the members of the Committee have still been labouring at the question of methods of carbon determination, it was not found possible to hold a meeting as originally intended, but the results of the analyses were to be communicated to, and the questions raised discussed at, the World’s Con- gress of Chemists at Chicago. Professor Langley has, however, forwarded an advance report of the analyses, which is appended, together with the 438 REPORT— 1893. values obtained by the British analysts, which are added for comparison ; the American results are subject to slight revision at Chicago, and should any alterations be made these will be inserted before this report is finally. published.

It may, however, be stated that the agreement between the Swedish and British reports is quite as good as. that between the two above given. Standard 5, the preparation of which was mentioned in the previous report of this Committee, has been hermetically sealed in glass tubes, like Standards 1, 2, 3, and 4. It was thought well not to proceed with the analysis of this standard until an opportunity had been afforded of com- paring the results obtained by the various committees on the analyses of the standards already under examination. Otherwise, after the work of the British analysts was completed, questions as to methods of analysis or other points of detail might have arisen, without a convenient oppor- tunity being afforded for their investigation. Now that reports from three out of the five International Committees are at hand for comparison, they will be considered by this Committee, and the analysis of the remaining standard completed. On Solution.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor W. A. TILDEN (Chairman), Dr. W. W. J. Nicou (Secretary), and Professor W. Ramsay. THe Committee have continued their work on the lines laid down in the report of last year, but the progress made and the results obtained are not such as to warrant the publication of any general conclusions at present. The Committee intend to continue their investigations, and therefore desire reappointment without a grant. ON THE SILENT DISCHARGE OF ELECTRICITY ON OXYGEN, ETC. 439 The Influence of the Silent Discharge of Electricity on Oxygen and other Gases.—Report of a Committee, consisting of Professor H. McLeop (Chairman), Mr. W. A. SHENSTONE (Secretary), Professor W. Ramsay, and Mr. J. TupDor CunDALL. (Drawn up by the Secretary.) Tuis Committee was first appointed in 1885; grants of money were made in that and in the succeeding year. The expenditure of these grants has already been duly reported. It therefore only remains to give an account of the work that has been done. This has already been fully described in the ‘Journal of the Chemical Society’ and elsewhere, and consequently it will be sufficient now to give an outline of the results obtained, with references to the fuller descriptions. I. The Preparation and Storage of Oxygen.! In this note a method of preparing oxygen from a mixture of the chlorates of sodium and potassium was described. The process recom- mended has been found to be very convenient, and has since been adopted by other investigators. Its advantage lies in the ready fusibility of the mixture, and the consequent reduced risk of breaking glass apparatus in which the chlorate must be submitted to repeated fusion and solidification in the course of generating oxygen from it. II. Ozone from Pure Oxygen. Its Action on Mercury, with a Note on the Silent Discharge of Hlectricity.2 By W. A. Suenstone and J. Tupor CUNDALL, The experiments described in this paper showed that a good yield of ozone (7°5 per cent.) is readily obtained from carefully dried oxygen. It has lately been suggested by Professor Armstrong that, in spite of the care taken, it is possible impurity may have been introduced into the gas by the action of the discharge, which might conceivably detach adherent moisture from the glass surfaces of the apparatus. Moreover, when these experiments were made the only liquid that was available for use in the manometers was oil of vitriol, and though this was screened from the dried oxygen by phosphoric anhydride, its use introduced a fresh element of uncertainty. On the other hand, the proportion of ozone obtained was, considering the form of apparatus employed, sufficiently high to suggest that the con- ditions of the experiment were very favourable to the production of a high yield of ozone, and the mixture of ozone and oxygen obtained by the discharge was apparently without chemical action on mercury, which is inconsistent with the idea that moisture was present in it, whilst it is stated by Brodie in his ‘Classical Research’ that in order to obtain a high yield of ozone dry oxygen must be employed. The later experiments described in section III. will make it possible to investigate this point more severely than in 1885, and therefore this important question will very shortly be re-examined. 1 British Assoc. Rep., 1886. 2 Journ. Che 440 REPORT—1893. III. Studies on the Formation of Ozone from Ozxygen.} By W. A. SHENSTONE and Martin Prigst. The introduction of improved methods of working with ozone have enabled the authors of this paper to study the influence of various con- ditions on the converting of oxygen into ozone with increased exactness and facility. The results obtained show that— 1. Under constant conditions it is possible to obtain concordant results in converting oxygen into ozone by the silent discharge. 2. That the maximum yield of ozone is nearly independent of the difference of potential employed to produce the discharge (the range ot potential difference employed was from 33 to 69 C.G.S. units), provided that the path of the discharge be not too short. 3. That if the path of the discharge be very short, then the maximum yield of ozone has an inverse relation to the difference of potential employed.” 4. The rapidity with which the discharge converts oxygen into ozone is greater when great potential differences are employed than for smaller differences. 5. That the maximum yield of ozone is less when the number of dis- charges is very great in unit time than when it is smaller. But the yield is not affected by moderate variations of rapidity of the discharge. 6. The greatest yield of ozone was obtained by using an ozone gene- rator made of the thinnest possible glass, and with closely fitting tubes. In one case 17°15 per cent. of ozone was obtained at 0°. 7. Under equal conditions less ozone was produced by the discharge obtained by means of a Wimshurst’s machine than when a large induc- tion coil was employed. It has been suggested that this last phenomenon may be due to a difference in the quantity of electricity acting in the two cases, but the authors point out that under the conditions of their experiments‘ the ‘quantity ’ of the discharge inside the ozone generator depends on the difference of potential of the inducing charge, and that as the ozonising effect of the discharge is, under suitable conditions (see 2 and 3 above), independent of the potential difference of the inducing charge, it would seem that this suggestion does not afford a clue to the cause of the phe- nomenon. Moreover, it was found in the experiments made with the plate machine that when the quantity of the inducing charge was raised or reduced, by means of condensers, the yield of ozone remained un- affected. Although a good deal of progress has now been made, much of the work undertaken remains to be done. As, however, no further grants are likely to be asked for, and as it is probable that in the future the work will be mainly in the hands of one member of the Committee, the Committee now recommend that they be not reappointed. 1 Journ. Chem. Soc., 1893. ? This is attributed to the difficulty of maintaining a sufficiently regular tempera- ture of the gas under these circumstances. 3 This is also probably due to imperfect refrigerating. * Ozonisers of Brodie’s type were employed. ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 441] Bacteriology in its Relations to Chemical Science-—By PERCY Frankuand, Ph.D., B.Sc. (Lond.), F.R.S., Professor of Che- mistry in University College, Dundee, St. Andrews University. [Ordered by the General Committee to be printed in extenso.] IN science as in politics there are certain territories which. whilst unable to fully assert their own independence, are yet so jealously watched by their powerful neighbours that deliberate annexation by any one of these is impossible. Such semi-independent states usually become successively subject to the influence of their more powerful neighbours, each of which is anxious to acquire an ascendency in their councils. In science such a semi-independent state is bacteriology, of hardly sufficient importance to stand by itself, but surrounded as it is by its great neighbours Botany, Medicine, and Chemistry, to each of which in part it owes its present prominent position, both in the scientific and unscientific worlds. Originally an offshoot of Botany, from which also in its early infancy it received such powerful support through the memorable ministrations of Cohn, of Naegeli, and of Brefeld, but although thus under obligation to the parent science, the greatest impulse given to the study of bacteria will always be associated with Chemistry in the person of M. Pasteur, whilst there can be no doubt that by far the greater part of our more recent knowledge concerning these micro-organisms has been acquired through the indefatigable labours of medical men, so many of whom have been fired by the brilliant discoveries of Koch, Metchnikoff, and Behring. In these bacteriological investigations, however, the medical man has been constantly brought more and more into the domain of Chemistry, so that, starting with phenomena which he at first regarded from a purely biological, 7.e., a more or less superficial and empirical, point of view, he has by more profound study in many cases reached the chemical, physical, and mechanical foundations on which all biological phenomena must of necessity rest. -As, therefore, the history and development of bacteriology are so intimately connected with Chemistry, and as it is to chemical science that we must ultimately look for the elucidation of innumerable bacterio- logical phenomena, it is only natural that our President should have desired to see this subject brought before this Section. It is, however, with extreme diffidence and hesitation that I have undertaken at his request to introduce this discussion to-day, as from the great breadth of the subject, with its numerous ramifications into other sciences, the task is in many respects peculiarly arduous and beset with extraordinary peril. I will, however, at once state that I have no intention of burdening you with a detailed survey of the present position of bacteriology, but that it is only my purpose to refer to some matters which have recently been attracting the attention of investigators, and which may possibly interest the members of the Chemical Section. Methods.—What may be called modern bacteriology commences with ithe introduction, now some twelve years ago, of the systematic methods of obtaining pure cultivations of micro-organisms ; for although a number 442 REPORT —1893. of bacteriological problems can be, and have been, solved by experimenting with casual mixtures of microbes, progress in many directions was neces- sarily barred until particular organisms could be obtained and maintained in a state of purity for investigation. That these methods have now reached a high state of perfection is attested by the fact that, in spite of the great number of persons who are constantly using them in all parts of the world, no changes of any great importance have been made during the past few years. A general under- standing of these methods of bacteriology may now be said to constitute almost an integral part of a liberal education, although, judging from the flagrant inaccuracies which are to be found in the numerous references to matters bacteriological in the. daily press, it is evident that the news- paper correspondents who undertake to inform the public on these topics have not, as a rule, had the benefit of the liberal education in question. Perhaps the circumstance most calculated to impress the British public with the present importance of bacteriology is that pure cultiva- tions of micro-organisms have now for some years past become actually articles of commerce. Not only are pure yeasts, prepared according to Hansen’s methods, in circulation all over the world, but pure cultivations of pathogenic and other bacteria can now be purchased at catalogue prices, to the great convenience of the investigator, in much the same way as we have been in the habit of procuring pure and inaccessible chemicals from Kahlbaum’s. Again, bacterial poisons have been employed in various parts of the world for combating animal plagues, whilst domesti- cated bacteria have been used for the preventive inoculation of cattle and other animals. If, however, the general methods of bacteriological study have under- gone but little change recently, the greatly increased attention which has been given to the study of particular forms isolated by these methods has led to some important developments in our views concerning bacteria in general. Although the discovery of the existence of micro-organisms was neces- sarily made with the microscope, and the earlier information concerning them obtained almost exclusively by means of this instrument, the intro- duction of the modern bacteriological methods soon relegated the micro- scope to a secondary position for the purpose of their differentiation and diagnosis. It was early found that bacteria which were perfectly undistinguishable when viewed through the microscope might exhibit the most marked differences in their macroscopic appearances and in their functions. Using the modern methods of bacteriological study, indeed, the investigator generally becomes acquainted with such macroscopic differences amongst micro-organisms before the microscope is brought into requisition at all. It results from this that in examining any given materiai the number of different bacteria discovered by cultivation methods will generally greatly excecd that revealed by microscopic examination alone. Upon the introduction of these cultivation methods there rapidly followed, then, the discovery of a large number of different kinds of bacteria obtained from the most varied sources, tissues healthy and diseased, soil, water, air, &c. These different kinds of bacteria were distinguished by more or less well-marked characters, e.g., the liquefaction or non-liquefaction of gelatin, the appearances of the growths in various. culture media, the production of pigments, the pathogenic or non- pathogenic properties on different animals, whilst in some cases the ability ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 443. or inability to bring about certain chemical reactions was relied on as a means of diagnosis. The more careful and prolonged study of individual kinds of bacteria by these methods has shown, however, that the differentiation between bacteria is a matter of even still greater difficulty than was hitherto sup- posed. Thus during recent years there are perhaps no two bacterial. forms which have been so closely and carefully studied as Eberth-Gaffky’s typhoid bacillus and Koch’s cholera spirillum. The result of this con- centrated study has been to reveal an ever-increasing number of forms, so closely allied to each that their differentiation becomes more and more difficult, and is based on more and more refined and artificial distinc- tions. The extraordinary difficulty with which this branch of bacteriological practice is at present attended is well illustrated by the following remarks. of M. Metchnikoff'! on Dr. Koch’s last paper on the subject of the diagnosis of the cholera bacillus :— ‘The characters which were formerly regarded as specific to the comma bacillus, such as the form of the bacteria, their motility, the manner of their growth in gelatin, suffice no more. M. Koch himself describes a case of cholera in which the comma bacilli liquefied the gelatin so slightly that the colonies had the form of shields (boucliers). On the other hand, in the vibrio of Massowah (obtained in a cholera epidemic there) we have an example of a comma bacillus which liquefies the gelatin much more than the typical forms. On this account M. Koch now abandons as useless the stab-cultures in gelatin. The examination of drop-cultures becomes of similarly small importance, because it has been shown that indisputable comma bacilli can be completely deprived of motility, whilst other vibrios can be very motile. ‘The form of the vibrios is again very variable. Besides the vibrios which are bent and thick, there are found forms which are slim and thin, sometimes hardly bent at all.’ But perhaps nothing shows the inadequacy of morphological methods. alone for purposes of diagnosis more conspicuously than the recent in- vestigations which have been made by those newly perfected modes of mordant staining devised by Loeffler, and by means of which some of the finest bacterial structures—the cilia or flagella—are rendered visible with a degree of precision hitherto unequalled. The observers who have hoped to establish a basis of differentiation on such minute microscopic distinctions as these beautiful staining methods reveal have had their hopes rudely shattered by the extraordinary variability which is exhibited by one and the same form in this respect. This variability is most strikingly exhibited by the plates of Nicolle and Morax ? of the cilia found on the cholera bacillus and its allies, as well as on the typhoid bacillus and bacillus coli communis: these plates show that there are as great differences in the number and arrangement of the cilia on cholera spirilla obtained from different sources as amongst spirilla generally acknowledged to be of different kinds. Thus practically all morphological distinctions, both micro- and macro-scopic, have had to be abandoned as a means of final diagnosis in the case of the cholera bacillus. 1 «Recherches sur le Choléra et les Vibrions,’ Ann. de U Inst. Pasteur, vii. (1893), p. 563. 2 «Technique de la Coloration des Cils,’ Nicolle and Morax, Ann. de UInst. Pasteur, vii. (1893), p. 560. -444 REPORT— 1893. To what tribunal must the bewildered bacteriologist have recourse? In Dr. Kech’s last paper, ‘ Der augenblickliche Stand der Choleradiagnose ’ (Zeitsch. f. Hygiene, xiv. [1893], p. 335), the final referees in this diagnosis are (1) the so-called indol reaction and (2) the pathogenic effects of ‘inoculation into animals. Thus the morphological have had to give way »to chemical and physiological tests. An almost precise parallel is presented by the history of the diagnosis of the typhoid bacillus. In the first instance morphological tests for its identification were in vogue, more especially its great motility in broth -and its almost invisible growth on potatoes; both of these criteria have had to be abandoned, inasmuch as they are possessed also by closely allied organisms, and the tests which at present serve at any rate for its ready -distinetion from the bacillus coli communis are (1) the absence of indol ‘reaction, (2) the non-coagulation of milk, and (3) the non-fermentation -of dextrose and meat extract. Thus, whilst morphological methods may serve to distinguish the ‘typhoid bacilli from a number of other forms, it is to chemical tests that ‘we must have recourse in order to differentiate it from its closest allies. I do not, however, for a moment wish to convey the impression that “such chemical tests are altogether unassailable—far from it, for I have ‘had abundant opportunities of observing their inconstancy and treacherous ‘variation. It is, however, highly significant that in the diagnosis of the ‘two micro-organisms, upon which almost more attention has been recently ‘showered than upon any others, the tests universally acknowledged to be the most reliable are in both cases chemical ones. It is, moreover, -obvious that these chemical differences will in the future have to be far more closely and systematically studied than in the past, as they are ‘doubtless capable of very great extension for purposes of diagnosis. Thus, the only other chemical tests which have hitherto been in any sway extensively introduced are— (1) The reduction of nitrates to nitrites. (2) The ammoniacal fermentation of urea. Of these the first is particularly available, as a comparatively large ‘number of bacteria have the power of effecting this change, whilst hitherto, curiously, only one organism has been found possessing the ‘power of bringing about the oxidation of nitrites to nitrates. Fermentations.—T hese chemical tests to which, as I have pointed ont, ‘we are now so often obliged to resort in bacteriological diagnosis naturally lead us to a consideration of some of the more striking chemical changes induced by micro-organisms, and which we generally group together “under the name of Fermentations. Of these fermentations the most important, from a practical point of view, is still, of course, the alcoholic fermentation induced by yeast, and, -as is so well known, the practical application of this fermentation has -been put on a sound scientific basis through the researches of Chr. Hansen, whose pure yeasts have, however, hitherto found less favour in this country than elsewhere, although they have been employed on a large -experimental scale by Mr. Horace Brown and Dr. Morris, whilst more recently, in a few English breweries, the pure yeasts have been adopted ‘to some extent in actual practice. The principal difficulty in the way of these pure yeasts being employed for English beers appears to be that, until recently, none of them was capable of bringing about that ‘after- ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 445- fermentation ’ which is so essential to the ‘conditioning’ of the beer. Quite recently, however, this difficulty is said to have been overcome by Van Laer, who has succeeded in obtaining a yeast in a state of purity which is endowed with this power. In this connection it is worthy of remark that, during the past year,. there has been established, at Burton-on-Trent, ‘The British Pure Yeast Company,’ under the direction of Dr. Van Laer, from which it is hoped that the British breweries will be gradually induced to adopt the employ-. ment of pure yeast fermentations. In his last publication Hansen (‘ Untersuchungen a. d. Praxis der Garungsindustrie,’ Munich and Leipzig, 1892) gives a list of the various breweries in which his method has been adopted, and of which the following table is a summary :— BREWERIES USING HANSEN’S APPARATUS.

Speaking of this country, Hansen says that English brewers were more disposed to talk than to experiment, and, after referring to the for- mation of the British Pure Yeast Company, he remarks that ‘ there is now a prospect of the new advance shortly taking root in the great conservative island-empire ! ’ As regards the mechanism of the alcoholic fermentation of sugar, the ingenious theory of Pasteur, which ascribed it to the life of the yeast organism in the absence of oxygen, has now been generally abandoned ; in fact, the recent experiments of Adrian Brown conclusively show that a given number of yeast-cells actually produce more alcohol when abundantly supplied with oxygen than when this gas is excluded. It has long been admitted that the vegetative activity of the yeast is increased by the access of oxygen, and with this increased activity its specific power of decomposing sugar is heightened also. Of greater interest to the chemist than the ordinary alcoholic fer- mentation are those numerous and much more diversified fermentative 446 REPORT—1893. ‘decompositions which are induced by bacteria, for the discovery of so many of which we are indebted to Pasteur and Fitz. The substances which have already been shown to be capable of undergoing fermentative change through the agency of bacterial life, although numerous, are practically confined to the carbohydrates, polyhydric alcohols, and oxy- -acids. Moreover, the products obtained in these numerous fermentations are, if we except comparatively minute traces, still more limited in number. ‘The most common are— Alcohols: Ethyl, butyl, amyl. Polyhydric Alcohols: Mannitol. Monobasice Acids: Formic, acetic, propionic, butyric, valerianic. Oxyacids: Lactic. Dibasic Acids: Succinic. Gases: Carbonic anhydride, hydrogen, marsh gas. In almost all cases the products formed in these fermentations are of ‘simpler molecular structure than those from which they have been derived, the most conspicuous exception to this general rule being the fermentative synthesis of butyric from lactic acid. Tn almost all cases, moreover, the fermentative decomposition includes ‘a process of oxidation and reduction, one part of the original molecule being oxidised at the expense of the other. Thus, one of the commonest forms of fermentation is that in which a fatty acid and an alcohol, -generally the one corresponding to the acid in question, are simultaneously produced. Two questions naturally suggest themselves in connection with these ‘bacterial decompositions :—(1) Does the same substance yield different products when fermented by different micro-organisms P (2) Does the same micro-organism produce the same products in the fermentation of ‘different substances ? The first of these questions has been answered by the researches of Fitz, who found that one and the same substance was capable of yielding different fermentation products, according to the fermenting material employed. Nor is this result in any way modified by the fact that we have no guarantee that the ferments used by Fitz were pure cultivations ; in fact, in many cases, they were admittedly mixtures. On the other hand, the answer to the second question can obviously only be furnished by experiments made with pure cultures of fermenting organisms. IT have for some time past been conducting experiments on this subject, and, as far as these have yet proceeded—for they are necessarily of the most laborious character—they clearly show the most striking tendency for the products elaborated by one and the same organism from different fermentable substances to be the same. Thus I have shown that one and the same bacillus, operating on such different substances as dextrose, galactose, maltose, milk-sugar, mannitol, arabinose, glycerin, and glyceric acid, yields qualitatively the same products—viz., ethyl alcohol, acetic and formic acids (traces of succinic acid), carbonic anhydride, and hydrogen. Similar results have more recently been obtained by Grimbert, who has studied the fermentation induced in starch, inulin, dextrose, maltose, cane-sugar, invert-sugar, milk-sugar, arabinose, mannitol, and glycerin ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 447 by the B. orthobutylicus, and has found that in all cases the products were qualitatively the same—viz., acetic and butyric acids, normal butylaleohol, carbonic anhydride, and hydrogen. I do not, however, for a moment suppose it likely that one and the same organism will decompose all substances, so as to form the same products; but it is sufficiently remarkable that the same products should be obtained from such comparatively different parent substances, a phenomenon which is most probably explicable by the assumption that the several substances are, in the first instance, broken down into some intermediate substance which then undergoes further transforma- tion. Thus, probably the fermentability of bodies depends upon their being able to yield such intermediate substances with facility. A substance that doubtless plays an important part as an intermediary in such fer- mentation decompositions is lactic acid, which is known, indeed, to be capable of yielding a number of different products under bacterial action— €.g., valerianic, butyric, propionic, and acetic acids, besides butyl and ethyl alcohols. In this connection it is worthy of note also that the only sugars which are capable of undergoing fermentation by yeast are those which contain three or some multiple of three atoms of carbon in the molecule ; moreover, even towards the bacterial ferments, with their more catholic tastes, the carbon compounds containing such a tri-carbon nucleus appear to offer peculiar facilities for attack. That intermediate reactions of various degrees of complexity take place in these fermentative decom- positions again is shown by the several kinds of lactic fermentation, to which I will refer presently. In these fermentation phenomena formic acid appears to play a very important part; the presence of this substance among fermentation pro- ducts has been observed by a number of investigators. It is frequently mentioned as occurring, generally in small quantities, by Fitz, and simi- larly by Grimbert, in the butyric fermentations, to which I have already referred. In my experiments, however, I have found that the amount of this formic acid may be very greatly increased by special conditions. Thus in those fermentations conducted in flasks closed only with cotton- wool plugs the proportion of formic acid was generally only very insignifi- cant, whilst in the case of fermentations carried on in closed vessels provided only with a delivery-tube dipping under mercury for collecting the evolved gases the proportion of formic acid produced was invariably very considerable; and, further, in these closed fermentations in which the gases were collected I have always found that the carbonic anhy- dride and hydrogen were evolved in approximately the proportions in which they are present in formic acid—viz., equal volumes. In these closed fermentations it was, moreover, found that the fermentation was less complete than in the flasks plugged with cotton-wool only. Now it has been shown by Duclaux (‘ Annales de |’Inst. Pasteur,’ vi. [1892], 598) that free formic acid is a powerful antiseptic, and it is highly probable, therefore, that the production of this formic acid in the closed fermentations is the cause of their being prematurely arrested by this toxic product. Whether the formic acid is not produced at all when the fermentation takes place in the open flask, or whether the organism is capable of de- composing it in the presence of air under these circumstances, I have not yet determined. Duclaux (loc. cit.) has shown that moulds are capable of destroying free formic acid in the presence of air; but the action of 448 REPORT—1893. moulds when growing superficially on organic liquids is, so far as we know, entirely different from that of bacteria, inasmuch as the moulds simply convert the organic elements into their ultimate products of oxida- tion, and do not excite fermentations in the stricter sense of the word. Recent Additions to Knowledge of Lactic Fermentation.—The lactic fermentation, which was one of the earliest-known fermentations, and with the investigation of which the names of Pasteur and Lister are associated, has recently formed the subject of some researches, which appear to me to be of particular interest from a chemical point of view. In the ordinary lactic fermentation, as is well known, the lactic acid obtained is inactive, irrespectively of whether it is derived from starch, milk-sugar, cane-sugar, dextrose, or mannitol. By employing different lactic fermentation bacteria, however, both the active lactic acids have been obtained by direct fermentation. Thus Nencki and Sieber (‘ Berlin. Berichte,’ xxii. c. 695) have discovered a lactic ferment which yields sarco- lactic acid (7.e., dextro-rotary lactic acid) in the fermentation of dextrose ; whilst Schardinger (‘Chem. Soc. Journ.,’ Abstr., 1891, p. 666) has de- scribed the preduction of levo-rotary lactic acid in the fermentation of cane- sugar. How are these three different lactic fermentations to be interpreted by the light of our present knowledge of the constitution of the sugar molecules, which is based on those researches of Emil Fischer, which have excited such profound and widespread admiration ?P Taking the now generally accepted constitutional formule of dextrose, levulose, and mannitol— CH,OH CH,OH CH,OH | | | +CHOH +CHOH + CHOH | | + CHOH + CHOH +CHOH Dextrose | Levulose | Mannitol | +CHOH +CHOH + CHOH | | —CHOH CO +CHOH | | COH CH,OH CH,OH in which the several asymmetric carbon atoms are indicated by the signs + or — according to the relative arrangement of the groups around them. It is easy to see how the carbon-skeleton of dextrose can yield by simple decompositions, in which the terminal groups—COH or CH,OH— are converted into COOH, either the dextro- or the levo-rotary lactic acid, according to the particular asymmetric carbon atom in the dextrose which is made to form the asymmetric carbon atom in the lactic acid, thus :— CH, CH, | | —CHOH +CHOH COOH COOH Leevo-rotary Dextro-rotary lactic acia. lactic acid. Again, by such simple decomposition, the levulose molecule should only be capable of yielding the dextro-rotary lactic acid; and similarly the mannitol molecule should only be capable of yielding the dextro- rotary lactic acid; for it is obvious, again, that, if the terminal groups ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 449 only are converted into COOH, the resulting lactic acid will have its asymmetric carbon atom, with the sign + before it. It is unnecessary to point out that all these signs may also be directly opposite to the actually observed rotation, so that the speculation may be more correctly and briefly summarised in the words, that whilst both active lactic acids are theoretically obtainable by the simplest decomposition of deatrose, only one and the same of the two active isomers should be similarly obtainable from either levulose or mannitol. On the other hand, it is equally obvious that in order to obtain inactive lactic acid from any of the above molecules it is necessary either that there should be an intermediate product formed in which the asymmetric carbon atom of the ultimate lactic acid has lost its asymmetry, or that the two active lactic acids should be formed in exactly equal molecular pro- portions, and thus destroy the rotatory power. On the latter supposi- tion, inactive lactic acid should only be readily obtainable from dextrose, as neither the levulose nor the mannitol molecules are theoretically capable of yielding, by simple conversion, more than one of the isomeric active lactic acids, but it is experimentally certain that inactive lactic acid can be obtained by the fermentation of pure mannitol. In these decompositions effected by micro-organisms a remarkable feature is not unfrequently observed which must be of great significance, both from a chemical and biological point of view—I refer to the pheno- menon of selective or preference fermentation. This phenomenon was first observed by Pasteur (‘Jahresbericht d. Chem.,’ 1860, p. 250; ‘ Comptes Rendus,’ xlvi. p. 615) inthe case of tartaric acid,who found that both bacteria and moulds attacked the dextro-rotary modification by preference; simi- larly, Lewkowitsch (‘ Berlin. Berichte,’ 1883, pp- 1568, 2722) found that in the case of mandelic acid the levo-rotary isomer is first destroyed by the mould Penicilliwm glauewm. More recently I have shown that by the fermentative action of the Bacillus ethaceticus on glyceric acid the levo- rotary acid is first decomposed, obtaining in this manner a dextro-rotary glyceric acid, which is of particular interest and value, inasmuch as it is the simplest active acid which can be obtained in practically unlimited quantity, and by means of which the laws regulating the rotatory power of active bodies in general can be investigated in their simplest form. Of this new substance no less than twenty active derivatives have already been prepared in my laboratory, and have served to throw light on the more recent speculations concerning the peculiarly fascinating subject of the asymmetric carbon atom. Still more recently I have obtained by this selective fermentation the dextro-rotary lactic or sarcolactic acid, which, although long known, has hitherto been only obtainable with great difficulty. I hope, however, by this means to render it as accessible as the dextro-rotary glyceric acid, and the study of its derivatives, which are as yet almost wholly unexplored, should also furnish important data for stereo-chemical theory. The cause of this remarkable phenomenon of selective fermentation is at present wholly wrapped in obscurity, but I would venture to suggest that it is to be sought for in the differences which such optical isomers only unfold when they are combined with other active bodies. Thus, when the optically isomeric tartaric acids are combined with the optically active base cinchonine, for instance, the resulting cinchonine dextro- and levo-tartrate exhibit marked differences of solubility from each other. Is it not highly probable that optically active substances which are invariably 1893. a@ 450 REPORT—1893. present in living cells may enter into combination with these optically active fermentable isomers, and by thus establishing differences—e.g., of solubility—between them render one of them—probably the more soluble one—more accessible to the specific decomposing influence of the cell- protoplasm P Whether in such selective fermentations it is invariably the same optical isomer or not that first disappears under the influence of vital de- composition has not been with certainty ascertained. Pasteur, however, found that it was the dextro-tartaric acid which was first destroyed, irrespectively of whether a bacterial fermentation or a mould combustion was employed. Similarly, in the case of lactic acid, it was the levo-rotary acid which first disappeared in my bacterial fermentation, already referred to, as well as in the mould combustion of lactic acid, studied by Linossier (‘ Berlin. Berichte,’ xxiv. c. 660). On the other hand, Lewkowitsch (Joc. cit.) records the preferential decomposition of one optically isomeric man- delic acid by the mould Penicillium glaucum, and of the opposite isomer by a bacterial ferment. As this is, so far as I am aware, the only instance of the kind, it is highly desirable that it should be reinvestigated, and either confirmed or disproved. It must not be supposed that in this selective fermentation one of the isomers is necessarily quite unfermentable, for, as far as this matter has been carefully investigated, it would appear to be only that one of the isomers is relatively less fermentable than the other. Thus in the fermentation of lactic acid, which I have recently studied, I found that if the fermentation was allowed to finish the whole of the lactic acid was broken up into other products; but if arrested at an intermediate stage the lactic acid remaining undecomposed always contained sarcolactic acid, showing that the levo-rotary lactic acid had been decomposed by preference. In the fermentation of glyceric acid the selective phenomena are extremely remarkable. Thus when I first isolated the Bacillus ethaceticus some years ago I found that its powers of fermenting glyceric acid in the form of calcium glycerate were very feeble, and that even when the fermentation was allowed to complete itself practically the whole of the dextro-rotary glyceric acid remained untouched by the bacillus. But on continuously cultivating this bacillus in soiutions of calcium glycerate I found that its power of decomposing this substance was becoming markedly greater ; thus, not only did the fermentations last longer, but the propor- tions of undecomposed dextro-rotary glyceric acid remaining at the end of the fermentations became less and less. In order, therefore, to obtain a satisfactory yield of the residual active glyceric acid, it now becomes necessary to arrest the fermentation, and thus save the dextro-glyceric acid from destruction. We can alsostill obtain a satisfactory yield of the active glyceric acid by using for the fermentation ethacetic bacilli which have hitherto been strangers to solutions of glyceric acid; these bacilli then only decompose the levo-glyceric acid, the dextro-glyceric acid molecules being untouched by them. In fact, in this manner the fermentative activity of this Bacillus ethaceticus can be regulated with the greatest nicety and precision, and this forms a good example of the profound modifications which can be effected in micro-organisms by what may be called educational culture. Modifications effected in Micro-organisms by Educational Culture.— This subject of the modification of micro-organisms by artificial means is ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 451 of such far-reaching importance that I must ask you to permit me to devote a little further attention to it. There are an immense number of isolated and incidental observations concerning such induced modifi- cations distributed through bacteriological literature, but there are comparatively few connected researches which have been made with the object of deliberately ascertaining what are the limits within which such modifications can be made.! That bacteria are peculiarly liable to present the most extraordinary changes in form was demonstrated already twenty years ago by Professor Ray Lankester’s observations on the Beggiatoa roseo-persicina (‘ Quart. Journ. Mic. Sci.,’ xiii. 1873), whilst during recent years the examples of variation, both in form and function, which have been observed are so numerous that even a mere enumeration of them would involve more time than I have at my disposal. It is not, however, perhaps out of place to give those of you who are less familiar with this subject an instance of the profound morphological change which can be impressed on a micro-organism by artificial means. To my mind perhaps the most striking instance of this kind is the artificial production by Chamberland and Roux of a variety of anthrax bacilli, which are incapable of produc- ing spores under any known conditions whatsoever. This fundamental metamorphosis in the morphology and physiology of the organism is effected by cultivating the ordinary anthrax bacilli in broth, to which a small proportion of potassium dichromate (5,155), or phenol (about +5855) has been added. This sporeless, or asporogene, anthrax is equally virulent, and in all respects resembles the ordinary anthrax bacilli, excepting in the particular of inability to form spores. This peculiarity is, moreover, so permanently stamped upon it that it persists even after passing the asporogene bacillus through the bodies of animals. T ought also to mention similarly profound and permanent morpho- logical changes which Hansen has made in yeasts by prolonged culture in aérated wort near the maximum temperature. In this manner yeast varieties were obtained which had entirely lost their power of producing spores under whatever conditions they might subsequently be cultivated (Hansen, ‘ Centralbl. f. Bakteriol.,’ vii. [1890], p. 795). Equally striking are the changes in the functions of bacteria which can be artificially produced. Into the artificial and permanent diminution of the virulence of pathogenic micro-organisms it is not necessary for me to enter, as the production of attenuated viruses or vaccines for the purposes of preventive inoculation is already carried out on what may be called an industrial scale. But the converse operation may also be effected, that is to say, an organism possessing only a low degree of virulence may by artificial means have its virulence increased beyond that which it normally _ exhibits in nature. This has been done by Malm, for the bacillus of anthrax, by passing this organism through animals which, like the dog, are naturally very refractory to this disease, or which have been rendered artificially refractory by vaccination (‘Ann. del’Inst. Pasteur,’ vii. [1890], p. 532). Hitherto, however, such increased virulence has not been ‘A useful summary of the principal instances of recorded variations amongst bacteria, more especially those of a pathogenic nature, was contributed to the Pathological Section of the meeting of the British Medical Association, held at Nottingham in July of last year, by Professor Adami (Medical Chronicle, September, 1892). ea 2 452 REPORT—1893. imparted to bacteria by more purely artificial means, e.g., by subjecting them to chemical treatment, nor has it yet been found possible to convert a perfectly harmless micro-organism into a pathogenic one. Instances of artificially induced changes of bacterial function, other than pathogeneity, are far more easy to study with accuracy and precision as the complicating differences of animal organisation are eliminated. Thus, whilst any two animals selected for experiment must necessarily differ in more or less important respects, any number of test-tubes con- taining a culture medium of precisely the same composition can be prepared. Changes of Function—Everyone who has cultivated bacteria over long periods of time will probably have noticed more or less conspicuous changes in some of their functional activities, ¢.g., that the power of liquefying gelatin, possessed by some, has become diminished, or that the power of producing pigments has become impaired, or perhaps has actually disappeared altogether. Or, again, it may frequently be observed. that an organism which had originally the power of fermenting some particular substance has lost this power through prolonged culture, and, indeed, even a single passage through gelatin may sometimes apparently destroy the capacity to exercise this function. Thus, I have in my possession a bacillus which has the power of fermenting calcium citrate, and this function it continues to exercise for years if grown in suitable media. On submitting such a fermenting solution of calcium citrate to plate cultivation, colonies make their appearance in due course; but on transferring one of the colonies to a sterile solution of calcium citrate it invariably fails to set up a fermentation, the bacillus having by mere passage through the gelatin-medium lost its fermenting power. If, however, a similar colony be put into broth containing calcium citrate: the latter is readily fermented ; on now inoculating from this to a weaker broth containing calcium citrate this also is put into fermentation, and by successively passing in this manner to weaker and weaker broths con- taining calcium citrate we may ultimately set up fermentation in a calcium citrate solution which was absolutely unfermentable when the bacilli were taken directly from the gelatin plate (‘ Micro-organisms in their Relation to Chemical Change,’ Royal Institution, 1892). A striking example of permanent loss of function is described by Laurent (‘ Ann. de I’Inst. Pasteur,’ iv. [1890], p. 465) in the case of the Bacillus ruber of Kiel; an organism which, as its name implies, pro- duces a red pigment. Laurent found that if cultures of this bacillus were exposed to bright sunlight for a period of three hours the subsequent cultures were almost invariably colourless, and so permanent was this. loss of pigment-producing power that thirty-two successive cultures, carried on over a period of a year, failed to restore it. If such numerous bacterial varieties can be artificially induced in the laboratory, it is surely highly probable, in fact all but certain, that similar modifications have been, and are still, continually arising amongst the bacteria growing amidst natural surroundings This anticipation is fully borne out by the direct examination of the bacterial forms occurring in nature. It is a most striking and significant fact that in the case of almost any micro-organism which has received special attention on account of some particular property which it possesses, e.9., pathogenic power, a careful examination of the natural habitat of such an organism has almost invariably led to the discovery of one and often many other ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 453 bacteria resembling the particular one in question in almost every respect, but differing in one or more details—certainly not more important details than those which we have seen can be artificially produced in the laboratory. Let me cite a few examples of such natural varieties, as we may call them. The bacillus of anthraw we know under natural conditions may, and frequently does, temporarily reside in the soil; it would not be surprising, therefore, to find in the soil some organism presenting more or less likeness to this bacillus. As a matter of fact, not only has an organism indistinguishable from anthrax in all save its pathogenic properties been discovered in the soil by Hueppe and Cartwright Wood, but these investi- gators further proved the excessively close relationship of this soil bacillus to the anthrax bacillus by the observation that rabbits and even mice inoculated with the soil bacillus were protected against subsequent inoculation with virulent anthrax, as though they had been vaccinated with an attenuated anthrax virus (‘ Lancet,’ February, 1889; ‘ Berlin. klin. Wochenschrift,’ No. 16, 1889). The diphtheria bacillus of Loeffler (‘Centralbl. f. Bakteriol.,’ ii. [1887], p- 105) was found by him in the false membranes of the throat associated with another bacillus, almost indistinguishable from it, excepting that it had no toxic effect on animals. Roux and Yersin (‘Ann. de |’Inst. Pasteur,’ iv. [1890], p. 385) have, moreover, found that this Bacillus pseudo- diphthericus, as it is called, is frequently present in the pharyngeal mucous membrane of healthy children. The cholera bacillus of Koch, again, as we have already seen, is not only subject to very considerable variations in form and functions accord- ‘ing to the particular place or epidemic from which it has been obtained, but its natural habitats—the human intestine and natural waters—have both been found to yield forms which are distinguishable from it only with the greatest difficulty. The typhoid bacillus of Eberth-Gaffky, again, is distinguishable only with the greatest difficulty from a number of pseudo-forms occurring in its natural habitats—the human intestine and natural waters. Closely connected with these phenomena are doubtless also aérobic and anaérobic growth. As is well known, bacteria may be divided into three classes, according to their relationship to oxygen :— (1) Compulsorily aérobic, or those organisms which will only grow in the presence of free oxygen; (2) facultatively aérobie and anaérobic, or those organisms which can grow either in the presence or absence of free oxygen; (3) compulsorily anaérobic, or those organisms which will only grow in the absence of free oxygen. The phenomenon of aérobic growth would appear, of course, to be the normal one; but in many of the decompositions brought about by bacteria such large quantities of gases—especially carbonic anhydride and hydrogen—are evolved that all free oxygen is rapidly swept out of the medium in which the bacteria ‘are carrying on their operations. Under these circumstances, then, any bacteria which are entirely dependent on oxygen would have their vitality either destroyed or suspended, whilst those which can maintain themselves either temporarily or permanently in the absence of oxygen must be at a great advantage, inasmuch as they can continue their vital processes in the oxygen-deprived medium which they have themselves created. In this way we can imagine how originally aérobic organisms endowed with the capacity of decomposing certain substances with the 454 REPORT—1893, evolution of gases (CO,, H, &c.) have gradually become modified so as to endure for longer and longer periods of time the exclusion of oxygen; and finally some forms have become so far modified as to only find the means of livelihood in the entire absence of oxygen, or, in other words, they have become obligatorily anaérobic. Thus, whilst Pasteur ascribes fermentation to the life of micro-organ- isms in the absence of oxygen, it appears to me that the life of micro- organisms in the absence of oxygen is necessitated by their power of bringing about fermentative changes which banish oxygen from the medium ; in fact, the fermentative capacity is probably antecedent to the anaérobic capacity. Direct experiments as to how far aérobic micro-organisms can be trained to thrive in the absence of oxygen, and vice versd, are urgently wanted ; but there is already sufficient evidence that fermentative capacity is not dependent on absence of oxygen. Ihave already referred to this sub- ject in connection with yeast fermentation, but it is equally true of bacterial fermentations also; thus my Bacillus ethaceticus ferments most vigorously in the presence of air, but it would, of course, not be a fermenting organ- ism in the commonly accepted sense of the word if it could not also ferment in the absence of air, because in ordinary fermentations, as there is no provision made for the continnous supply of air, if the organism were obligatorily aérobic, the fermentation would at once cease as soon as the oxygen initially present was used up. These views are moreover in entire harmony with the observations of other investigators concerning fermentation bacteria. Thus amongst the most obligatorily anaérobic organisms with which we are acquainted is the common butyric ferment, the so-called Bacillus amylobacter, which can only be cultivated in the entire absence of oxygen. It must not, however, be imagined that the butyric fermentation is dependent upon the absence of oxygen, for Hueppe has isolated and described a bacillus which, whilst bringing about the same butyric fermentations as the B. anylobacter, is aérobic. Of the primitive bacteria possessing the power of exciting butyric fermentation we must conclude, therefore, that the ancestors of the B. amylobacter became so far modified by long-continued residence amidst anaérobic surroundings as to have apparently lost the power of aérobic growth altogether, whilst the ancestors of Hueppe’s butyric bacillus, having undergone less specialisation, can still flourish either in the presence or absence of air. These instances which I have selected are only a few out of a large number of similar cases which are recorded in literature, but they are: sufficient surely for anyone whose mind is not burdened and biassed by preconceived ideas concerning species to draw their conclusions as to the mutability of bacteria, whilst they show the rare opportunities which are afforded by these micro-organisms for experimentally studying some of the phenomena of evolution. Sanitary Aspects of Bacteriology—The advances in bacteriology which have probably excited most general interest are those which have refer- ence to the maintenance of the public health; the bacteriology of air, water, soil, and articles of diet, disinfection, and the like. It would be impossible for me in the time which is available to present to you even the merest outline sketch of the enormous amount of work which has been done during recent years in this department. I will confine myself to a few points which appear to me to be of more particular interest to ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 455 chemists. Thus the investigation of numerous hygienic questions, more especially relating to water supply and sewage disposal, forms a very important part of professional chemistry, and the bearing of recent bacteriological research on these questions must of necessity, therefore, be of peculiar interest to many chemists. When the bacteriological examination of water first came into vogue some eight or nine years ago there was a general impression amongst enthusiasts for the new science that it would, in a very short time, entirely supersede the chemical ex- amination owing to the inability of the latter to distinguish between dead and living organic matter, and to reveal the presence of disease-producing organisms. From the newly established bacteriological .laboratories on the Continent there emanated in rapid succession publications in which standards of bacteriological purity for water were hastily set up by men who, whilst doubtless very skilful bacteriologists, were quite ignorant of the subject of water supply, with its numerous complicating factors. It is quite unnecessary for me to enter into a discussion of these standards of purity, because happily they have been banished from the vocabulary of those who have had any considerable experience in these matters. Many persons, again, have been, and are still, under the impression that the main object of an examination of water is to ascertain whether it contains materials capable of causing disease, and that the inability of chemical analysis to answer this question proves its inutility. The absurdity of this view is so manifest, and the misconception to which it is due so obvious, that its wide prevalence is my only excuse for referring to it. A water examination which only reveals the unsuitability of the water when disease germs are actually present in it can surely be of little value indeed, inasmuch as the mischief will in all probability have been already done before the examination has been made or thought of. The object of a water examination should obviously be to ascertain whether a water is liable to be a source of danger, and not whether it is actually dangerous at the moment of examination. Now] have no hesitation in saying, and I have frequently expressed it as my opinion during this controversy, that a proper chemical analysis is able to throw more important light on this question than a bacteriological examination. On the other hand, I have from the very first turned to bacteriology for an answer to some questions concerning the hygienic aspects of water, which I am equally strongly of opinion cannot be answered by chemical methods of examination at all. Already in 1885 I pointed out in a paper to the Royal Society, ‘On the Removal of Micro-organisms from Water,’ and elsewhere how the then recently introduced methods of bacterio- logical research enabled us for the first time to ascertain the real hygienic value of methods of water purification, both artificial and natural, such as sand filtration, subsidence, precipitation as in Clark’s process, natural filtration through porous strata, &e. Thus I showed that the improvements effected in the quality of water by sand filtration, by Clark’s process, and by subsidence are quite insig- niicant—from a chemical point of view—as compared with their bacterio- logical efficiency. The bacteriological effect of these processes may be ges by means of the following tables summarising some of my results. Thus the first two tables show the remarkable efficiency of sand- filtration in removing micro-organisms from water: — 456 REPORT—1893. 1886.—Number of Micro-organisms in 1 ¢.c. of River Thames Water before and after Filtration.

The above figures show the importance of storage as a means of removing bacteria from surface waters, Another important matter, again, in connection with the hygiene of water, on which bacteriology alone can throw light, is the fate of patho- genic bacteria gaining access to water. This inquiry has been pursued by a number of investigators, and has led to many interesting results. Amongst the most important of these I may specially mention— (1) That in some exceptional cases pathogenic bacteria are destroyed with remarkable rapidity, in a few hours, when introduced into ordinary potable water. 458 REPORT—1893. (2) That in the majority of cases they can retain their vitality and virulence in potable waters for considerable periods of time—days, weeks, and in the spore form for months or even years—but that their longevity is almost invariably, and often very greatly, curtailed by the common bacteria present in all natural waters. They are thus generally far more persistent when introduced into sterilised than into unsterilised water. (3) With few exceptions the pathogenic bacteria which have been experimented with do not undergo any extensive multiplication in potable waters, although such multiplication is frequent in the case of foul waters like sewage. Bacteriological examination, again, has greatly fortified the now generally accepted views as to the communication of typhoid fever and Asiatic cholera through the medium of drinking water by the actual dis- covery of the typhoid and cholera bacilli in waters which had been suspected of distributing these diseases. It is precisely in this particular of bacteriological water examination that great advances have been recently made. The searching for patho- genic bacteria in a potable water must always be very much like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it has been abundantly shown that the ordinary process of plate-cultivation is, excepting in rare cases, quite inadequate for this quest, owing to the crowding out of the few patho- genic by the overwhelming majority of non-pathogenic forms. It has, in fact, become more and more evident that, in order to discover any particular organism—pathogenic or otherwise, for the matter of that— which is present in a very small minority, it is necessary to submit the water or other material under examination to a preliminary treatment before proceeding to plate-cultivation. This preliminary treatment must be so conceived and executed as to foster the multiplication of the particular organism of which we are in quest relatively to that of those organisms which are of no interest, and thus secure a majority of the former at the ensuing plate-cultivation, when no difficulty will arise in detecting its presence. Such special methods of examination are now in constant use for the detection of both the cholera and typhoid bacilli in water. It will thus be seen that by combining chemical and bacteriological methods of examination our knowledge of water hygiene has been very greatly extended during recent years. In the matter of sewage treatment the most laborious investigations, in which both chemical and bacteriological methods of examination were simultaneously employed, have been made by the Massachusetts Board of Health. The results of these investigations show, as would indeed be expected, that intermittent filtration through soil, if properly carried out, is the most efficient not only from a chemical but also from a bacterio- logical point of view, and in the chemical precipitation of sewage there is, in general, a much greater removal of micro-organisms than of organic matter, or, in other words, the bacteriological efficiency of these precipita- tion processes is generally much greater than their chemical efficiency. Bactericidal Action of Light.——Although I have not time to enter into the subject of disinfection in its entirety—i.e., the destruction of bacteria by chemicals and other agencies—there is a section of this subject on which I should not omit to say a few words, viz., the disinfecting or bactericidal action of light. Very soon after bacteria bad been introduced to the general public ee ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 459 through the earlier researches of Pasteur, Lister, Burdon Sanderson, and Tyndall, now about a quarter of a century ago, the important discovery was made by Downes and Blunt that these minute organisms were remarkably susceptible to direct sunshine.! Notwithstanding the novelty of the subject and the peculiar difficulties which then attended such researches, these two investigators worked out their discovery in such a very complete manner that I am of opinion it should be regarded as one of the most important additions made to the subject of bacteriology prior to the introduction of the more modern methods of studying bacteria. They clearly showed that this bactericidal action of sunlight is. independent of any rise in temperature ; that they are the rays at the blue end of the spectrum which are the most effective, the red rays being almost quite inert; further, that the action is highly favoured if not entirely dependent on the simultaneous presence of oxygen. Again, they showed that the action was quite independent of the presence of any eulture medium, for if bacteria which had been suspended in distilled water were allowed to become air-dry on glass they were destroyed by subsequent insolation. Again, they found that the culture media which they employed (Pasteur solution) were not rendered unfit by insolation for the subsequent cultivation of micro-organisms. Another highly important point to which they drew attention was that the action of sun- light is much less effective if the bacteria are suspended in water than if they are present in culture solutions. They further showed that mould and yeast forms were less susceptible to light than bacteria, and they even extended their investigations to the soluble ferment invertase, the activity of which they also found succumbed to insolation. These classical investigations have been confirmed in practically every detail by the subsequent researches made with pure cultures of particular bacteria by Duclaux,? Arloing,? Straus, Roux, Gaillard,® Uffelmann,’ Panzini,® Laurent,’ Santorini,!° Janowski,!! Geisler,!? Kotljar,!* Buchner,'* Momont,'? Marshall Ward, and myself.'® Of special interest in connection with this subject are some recent experiments by Richardson,'’ who shows that when urine is exposed to direct sunshine peroxide of hydrogen is formed, the presence of which prevents the development of growths. There are several very interesting and important points arising out of this investigation : 1, There can be no doubt that peroxide of hydrogen was formed in.

Richardson’s culture medium (urine) during insolation, and that this insolated urine possessed antiseptic properties. In this respect Richard- son’s experiments confirm certain previous observations made by Roux, but are in opposition to those of all other investigators who have devoted attention to this point. Thus Roux found that by the insolation of broth in the presence of air it became unfit for the germination of anthrax spores. Several other investigators, including Panzini and Janowski, have repeated this experiment with different culture materials, but have failed to confirm it. Roux’s results were, however, so very definite that it has always seemed to me impossible to doubt their accuracy, and I have attributed the discrepancy between his results and those of others to some difference in the conditions under which the experiments were made. The definite proof which has now been furnished by Richardson that peroxide of hydrogen is formed in some culture media by insolation, and that the conditions necessary for the formation and preservation of this antiseptic substance are by no means perfectly understood, clearly shows that Roux and his opponents may both be right, and that the different results arrived at depend upon differences in the conditions under which the experiments were carried out, the nature of which differences is at present not understood. That Roux’s insolated broth was rendered unfit for the germination of anthrax spores by the presence of peroxide of hydrogen is almost certain also from the fact that he found such insolated broth to recover its original nutritive properties if it was kept in the dark or in diffused daylight for a certain length of time. 2. The proof of the formation of peroxide of hydrogen during insolation naturally suggests the question whether the whole bactericidal effect of light is due to this material, or whether it only partially accounts for the phenomenon. This important question is one which it is far from easy to answer owing to the almost insuperable difficulty of securing conditions under which the generation of peroxide of hydrogen is impossible. We will examine some of the experiments which bear on this point :— (a) Downes and Blunt found that germs which had been air-dried on glass were destroyed by subsequent insolation. (b) Momont found that anthrax spores dried for twelve hours by means of a sulphuric acid vacwwm subsequently withstood insolation for upwards of 100 hours. - (c) Marshall Ward dried anthrax spores on glass at 70° C., and found that they were subsequently rapidly destroyed by insolation. In none of these three sets of experiments can the conditions be regarded as precluding the possibility of the formation of peroxide of hydrogen. Moisture must certainly have been present in Downes’ and Blunt’s experiments, and in smaller quantity in Marshall Ward’s. In Momont’s experiments the desiccation was doubtless the most complete, and at first sight the long insolation endured by his desiccated spores is very significant ; but I do not regard it as wholly conclusive owing to the impossibility of comparing the deportment of spores of different origin, and also to the fact that Momont used the more delicate method of detecting their vitality—viz., subsequent cultivation in broth—whilst Marshall Ward used, I believe, agar or gelatin; and Downes and Blunt, Pasteur solution—culture media which are not as sensitive as broth. There are other experiments, again, which bear upon the same subject. Thus Richardson has shown that the formation of peroxide of hydrogen ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 46F is due to the presence of some ingredient or ingredients in the urine, and that it is not formed by the insolation of water, or even of a solution of urea. If, then, the bacteria are suspended in water during insolation, there can be no generation of peroxide of hydrogen in the liquid. Now, as I have already pointed out in connection with my own experiments, a number of investigators are agreed that bacteria are much more resistant to insolation when suspended in water than when suspended in culture materials. It is, however, equally certain that they are actually de- stroyed, and sometimes even with great rapidity, when suspended in water. Now this at first sight would appear to demonstrate that the bactericidal effect of light, although accelerated by the generation of peroxide of hydrogen, may also take place without it. But we have already admitted the possibility of the generation of peroxide of hydrogen within the cells of imperfectly dried bacteria and their spores, so that it is surely still more easy to believe in the production of this materiab within the cells suspended in water to which air has access. The evidence so far would appear to indicate, therefore, that, whilst the generation of peroxide of hydrogen is undoubtedly in many cases an active factor in the bactericidal influence of light, it is still uncertain whether it is indispensable for the process. The question obviously raises another and far more general question which has long been before the chemical world—viz., as to how far oxidation can take place at all in the entire absence of water-vapour—and the evidence on this larger question goes entirely to show that all apparently direct low-temperature oxidations require the presence of water vapour. And, inasmuch as the bactericidal action of light is unquestionably a case of low-temperature oxidation there is the strongest presumptive evidence, as well as weighty experimental evidence, that water vapour, which practically means peroxide of hydrogen or some similar material, is essential for its manifestation. One of the most important circumstances, from a practical point of view, connected with this bactericidal action of light is the greatly increased resistance which is exhibited by bacteria when suspended in water. On this subject I have for some time past been conducting some: experiments, and although these are not yet by any means concluded, I may take this opportunity of referring to some of the results at which I have arrived. In the first place, I would point out how fallacious must be any comparison between the length of insolation withstood by even one and the same micro-organism in the hands of different observers, as. so much depends upon their previous history and treatment. Thus I have found that the spores of anthrax produced at the ordinary room temperature (18-20° C.) are far more resistant than anthrax spores which have been obtained in an incubator at 35-38° C. It is necessary, therefore, in all such investigations, if comparisons are to be made, that the organisms should be taken from one and the same cultivation. In endeavouring to ascertain the greater susceptibility of bacteria to light when exposed in culture media I am proceeding by way of synthesis,. making various additions to distilled water, and then determining how such additions affect the influence of insolation. In this manner I have- already made some preliminary experiments with common salt and’ sodium sulphate. The results of one series of these experiments are recorded in the: following table :— 462 REPORT—1893. Action of Sunshine on Anthrax Spores suspended in Water. (Percy FRANKLAND.)

These results clearly show that the bactericidal action of light is very considerably greater in water containing common salt (1, 3, or 10 per cent.) than in distilled water; whilst, on the other hand, the addition of sodinm sulphate in the same proportions has little or no influence in this respect. It is worthy of note also that an addition of 10 per cent. sodium chloride appears to exercise even a considerable bactericidal effect in the dark. The specific effect of the sodium chloride in enhancing the bactericidal action of light is even still more conspicuously brought out by the series of experiments—also on anthrax spores—recorded in the following table :— Action of Sunshine on Anthraw Spores suspended in Water.

In addition to those departments of bacteriology which I have briefly touched upon in this survey, there are many others, also of great interest to chemists, which might have been appropriately introduced had time permitted. Thus the more important subjects which I have had to pass over are— 1. The discoveries in the bacteriology of agriculture, including such important chemical changes as nitrification and the fixation of free nitrogen by leguminous plants (which must be regarded as some of the most important contributions to vegetable physiology ever made) have shown that really the most important fermentation industry, and which is far more extensive than all other industries put together, is agriculture. ON BACTERIOLOGY IN ITS RELATIONS TO CHEMICAL SCIENCE. 463 2. The production of ptomaines and poisonous albuminoids. 8. The phenomena of natural and artificial immunity, including the much-vexed questions of phagocytosis and the bactericidal properties of blood-serum and animal fluids. In all these branches of bacteriology there is not only much that is of interest to chemists, but there is urgent need in the interests of science that these subjects should receive the attention of chemists, for almost in every direction in which bacteriology is advancing it is abutting on problems which will require the most profound knowledge of chemistry for their elucidation. In many respects, moreover, chemists are at a great advantage in the investigation of bacteriological problems, inasmuch as their thorough experimental training and manipulative skill afford the very best preparation for the study of this subject, in which the inductive method and a due appreciation of all the complicating factors which surround an experimental inquiry are in continual requisition. It must not, however, be supposed that a chemist can apply any bacteriological method with the same readiness that he can carry out some new chemical preparation from a published description. In the management of living bacteria there are a number of points which have to be carefully borne in mind which do not enter into one’s consideration in dealing with inanimate matter. But this step from the inanimate to the animate is not more difficult for the chemist than for the vegetable or animal morphologist ; indeed, it is perhaps not as difficult, for, whilst the morphologist is oc- cupied only with statical considerations, in modern Chemistry our attention is turned more and more to dynamical problems. In view of the vast fields of fruitful research which lie in this province of Biological Chemistry, it appears to me that the curriculum of chemical training should be more and more framed with a view to their successful exploitation. It is desirable that chemical students should take zoology, botany, and physiology as subsidiary subjects more frequently than they do at present in order that the barrier which is often felt to exist between Chemistry and Biology may be broken down and abolished. The Circulation of Underground Waters.—Nineteenth Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor E. Hutt (Chairman), - Rev. Dr. H. W. Crosskey, Sir D. Gatton, J. GLAISHER, PERCY KENDALL, Professor G. A. LEBour, E. B. Marten, G. H. Morton, W. PENGELLY, Professor J. PRestwicu, I. Roperts, Tuos. S. Stooxr, G. J. Symons, W. TopLey, C. TYLDEN-WRiIGHT, E. WETHERED, W. WuiTakEerR, and ©, E. De Rance (Secretary). (Drawn wp by C. E. DE Rance.) THE inception of this committee was due to Professor Hull, who was appointed Chairman at Belfast in 1874, with your reporter as Secretary, for the purpose of investigating the circulation of underground waters in the permeable formations of England and Wales, and the quantity and character of the waters supplied to various towns and districts from these formations. It was felt last year that the labours of the Committee were nearly completed, and that they could not terminate their labours at a 464 REPORT—1893. more appropriate place of meeting than Nottingham, supplied as it is by a magnificent volume of underground water of absolute purity, and it is of interest to note that the Chairman of the Committee, Professor Hull, was consulted when these works were first initiated by the late Mr. M. D. Tarbotton, C.H. It was last year resolved by the General Committee that your reporter “be requested to draw up a final report embodying the whole of the facts obtained in counties,’ and ‘ that it is advisable that the report in question Should be issued as a separate publication.’ In compliance with this resolution your reporter has commenced the work of combining and systematising the previous eighteen reports, but he regrets that through pressure of official and other duties it has been impossible for him to complete the same, but he trusts to do so before the meeting at Oxford in 1894, when your committee will complete the twentieth year of their existence. The counties will be divided into five groups, and the report into as many separate sections, which your Com- mittee recommend be sold separately. Your reporter would in any case have ventured to suggest the con- tinuance of the Committee for another year, in consequence of the excep- tional season experienced, which has rendered it highly important to endeavour to trace the effect of the drought on underground water supply, and to institute a special inquiry as to the downward movement of the underground waiter line throughout the porous rocks of the country, and also as the rate of replacement of water by subsequent rains. From observations made by Mr. EH. J. Lowe, F.R.S., at Shirenewton Hall, Worcestershire, it appears that the entire rainfall of March and April was only 0°6 in., that from March to August 17 only 9°7 in., that 48 rainy days occurred, and 122 days without any rain: this, combined with an almost continuous high temperature, caused excessive evapora- tion of such rainfall as took place, the shade temperature being above eighty degrees seven days in April, one in May, six in June, five in July, and eight in August up to the 17th. Before the thunderstorm of June 15, on which 1:01 inch fell, the ground was dry to a depth of fifteen inches, but the rain only penetrated two inches from the surface. The drought has made clearly apparent the weakness of gravitation supplies, the quality of the water in the best reservoirs steadily deterio- rating as the quantity stored is reduced. The great value of underground supplies is as strongly brought out by the present yield of the Gains- borough Local Board well. It was sunk by Messrs. Timmins, Runcorn, at the recommendation of your reporter. The boring is now 1,351 feet in depth, and gives, in spite of the drought, the magnificent yield of 20,000: gallons per hour. The boring is artesian, the water rising from beneath 725 feet of Keuper Marls, being derived from the New Red Sandstone several miles distant. Your Committee seek re-election, and reserve details received this year for incorporation in their final report next year. The Committee regret to have to note the death of their able Leicestershire member, Mr. James Plant, F.G.S., whose work has been of great value to the Committee and to the inquiry generally.

(fig. 6), an undetermined specimen (cut, p. 203), a Conularia (fig. 2), and two Mytiloid shells (figs. 4 and 5). The other specimens were :— 7 : Hymenocaris vermicauda (Salter).

Several Hstherie, from the Permian strata of Germany, submitted for examination by Baron Albert von Reinach, of Frankfort-on-the-Main, prove to be— 1. Estheria striata (Minster), var. Muensteriana, nov., Plate I., figs. 1, 2. Length, 3-66 mm.; hinge-line, 2°46 mm. ; height, 2°0 mm. Near to the var. Betnertiana, Jones (‘Monograph Fossil Estherie,’ -Paleont. Soc., 1862, p. 25, pl. 1, figs. 11-14), but more angular and sloping posteriorly, and not nearly so truncate on that border as in var. Binneyana, Jones, loc. cit., fig. 9; nor rounded, as in var. Tateana, Jones, loc. cit., figs. 15 and 18. ; Like the before-mentioned varietal forms of Estheria striata, this has a straighter back than shown in the figures given by Goldfuss and De Ko- ninck, and a sharper postero-dorsal angle than seen in any of the published ae may mention that fig. 8, pl. 1, ‘ Monogr. Foss. Esther.,’ is less 93. HH 466 REPORT—1893. oblong than the original figures referred to above, and is deeper (higher) posteriorly ; fig. 9 is more truly oblong; figs. 11 and 13 are more oblique, sloping posteriorly ; fig. 15 is oblique, but shorter than figs. 11 and 13 ; and fig. 18 is shorter and subquadrate. The indications of interstitial ornament are feebly evident in some of those mentioned above, and we cannot find any in these now under ex- amination. Differing from the foregoing varieties it should be regarded, we think, as another variety, which we wish to specialise as Hstheria striata, var. Muensteriana, thus naming it after Count Minster, who was one of the earliest observers of these Paleozoic Phyllopods and of other fossil bivalve Entomostraca. In its postero-dorsal angle and long hinge-line this form much resembles the recent Estheria Rubidgei, Baird (‘ Proceed. Zool. Soc.,’ 1862, pl. 15, fig. 3). Fig. 1 illustrates the two valves lying together on the matrix, and in fig. 2 the left valve is seen without any perspective. It is in bluish-grey Lebach shale of the lower part of the Rothliegende (Permian), at Altenstadt in the Wetterau, Grand Duchy Hessen, where it was discovered by Baron A. von Reinach with other fossils, namely, Xenacanthus Decheni, Goldfuss ; Acanthodes, sp.; Branchiosaurus amblyo- stomus, Oredner (Protriton petrolei, Gaudry), and some of the leading plants of the Permian series. In these Lower Lebach shales from Altenstadt, Wetterau, A. von Reinach also found numerous small Ostracodes, which T. R. Jones and J. W.

Hstheria Reinachii, sp. nov., Plate L., fig. 3. Length, 3°2 mm.; hinge-line, 1:73 mm.; height, 1:86 mm. This suboval Hstheria, represented by two united valves (concave and one imperfect), is shorter and proportionally higher than fig. 2, and has a much shorter hinge-line, which is straight, and not quite equal in length to the height of the valve. The umbo is not so near to the antero-dorsal angle as it is in figs. 1 and 2, and therefore the ridges or lines of growth are less obliquely concentric with the umbo; they are also wider apart. This form is not so bluntly rounded at the ends as H. tenella (‘ Monogr. Foss. Hsther.,’ p. 31, pl. 1, fig. 26; pl. 2, fig. 39; and pl. 5, figs. 1-7) ; and it is much too angular and sloping posteriorly to match Goldenberg’s pl. 2, fig. 9. In this last-mentioned feature it shows an alliance with Hstheria striata; but its shape and proportions decidedly separate it as a species, and we give it the name H. Reinachii, after Albert von Reinach, who discovered it in the light-grey shale of the Upper Lebach Beds in the Engelthal, near Altenstadt, in the Wetterau. 3. Estheria Geinitzvi, sp. nov., Plate I, fig. 4. Length, 1-4 mm.; hinge-line, 1:0 mm.; height, 1:05 mm. This (left valve) is subquadrate, with the anterior and ventral more fully rounded than the posterior border. The back is straight, and the ambo is at its front end. This somewhat approaches to the shorter and deep (high) forms of Estheria minuta (‘ Monogr. Foss. Esther.,’ pl. 2, figs. 1, 5), but is readily distinguishable. It is still nearer in shape to a form of EH. Mangaliensis, op. cit., pl. 2, figs. 20, 28, but the latter has not the postero-dorsal angle sufficiently pronounced. LH. subquadrata (‘ Geol. Mag.,’ 1890, pl. 12, fig. 2) has some resemblance to the form shown by fig. 4, but it is not truncate anteriorly, and its postero-dorsal angle is weak. The steep slope of the front edge, the full ventral curve, the contracted posterior moiety, and the well-pronounced postero-dorsal angle distin- guish this form from any yet published. We dedicate it to our old friend Hofrath H. B. Geinitz, of Dresden, who has always been deeply inter- _ ested in fossil Entomostraca and in the strata from which those of the _ Wetterau have been obtained. This short form, deep (high) in its anterior moiety, is abundant (gregarious) in a dark greenish-grey, nearly black shale, ferruginous on _ one face, of the Lebach Beds, from the Boos Tunnel, on the Rhine-Nahe _ Railway, and on the same geological horizon as at Altenstadt. A. Estheria Geinitzii, var. Grebeana, nov., Plate I., fig. 5. Length, 1-2 mm. ; hinge-line, 1:05 mm.; height, 0-9 mm. Fig. 5 (right valve) is subtriangular and differs from fig. 4, owing to the great proportional length of the hinge-line and the less fully rounded HH 2 468 REPORT—1893. free margins. The front border is truncate, sloping downwards and in- wards; and the hinder margin slopes downwards at once and forwards, and not partly outwards as in fig. 4. These differences in outline do not seem to be due to bad preservation, for the ridges are truly concentric with the margins, as far as they are exposed; but they are varietal, if not sexual. Hence fig. 5 may be distinguished as var. Girebeana, after Herr Grebe, of the Prussian Geo- logical Service, who found it crowded together with H. Geinitzi_in the hard, dark-coloured Lebach shale from the railway tunnel near Boos, a village about a kilometre from Miinster-on-the-Nahe. III. In Katzer’s ‘ Geologie von Bohmen,’ III. Abtheilung, 1892, the following fossil Phyllopoda are mentioned :— P. 1169, Estheria cyanea, Fr., from Lubna? (Lubno). P. 1156 » tenella (Jordan), from Niirschan (Nyfany), | Post-Car- P. 1156 » 8p., from Tremosna, boniferous.. Since that date our friend Dr. Anton Fritsch has shown us some figures of Phyllopods which probably comprise those referred to above.. These figures are, 1, an Hstheria, from the lowest horizon of the Permian system of Bohemia, in the bituminous shale of Nyran, near Pilsen; 2, E. cyanea, sp. nov., Fritsch, from the Middle Permian, in bituminous shale from Kaunova; 3, an Hstheria, from Upper Permian bituminous shale at Kastialov ; 4, an Hstheria from the limestone with Paleonicus- Vratislavensis of the Uppermost Permian at Braunau; 5, an Hstheria,. also from the Uppermost Permian Limestone. These, with some Ostra- codes, will be published in due course by Dr. A. Fritsch in his ‘ Fauna. der Gaskohle,’ some parts of which have been already issued. IV. S. S. Gorby, State Geologist, has issued some ‘ Advance Sheets. from the Highteenth Report of the Geological Survey of Indiana,’ 8vo,, Indianapolis, September, 1892, in which the Paleontology is done by S. A. Miller and S. A. Casseday (see p. 23). Some Phyllocaride of the family of Pinacaride are treated of, and at p. 77, pl. 9, fig. 37,. the post-abdomen (trifid) of Mesothyra Gurleyi, n. sp., from the Kinder-. hook group, at Le Grand, Iowa, is described and illustrated; and at p- 78, pl. 9, figs. 48-46, Maerocaris Gorbyi, n. gen. et sp., from the Keokuk group, at West Point, Indiana. Of this latter form fig. 43. shows the interior of the carapace-valves and four abdominal segments. Fig. 44 gives four and part of another abdominal segment, and the post-. abdomen slightly broken at the end. Fig. 45 is eight abdominal seg- ments and the post-abdomen. Fig. 46 is a tooth, found in the same rocks, that may possibly belong to the internal masticatory apparatus. V. In the ‘Canadian Record of Science,’ vol. v. No. 4, October, 1892, pp. 205-208, Mr. J. F. Whiteaves gives a ‘ Description of a new Genus and Species of Phyllocarid Crustacea from the Middle Cambrian of Mount Stephen.’ The fossil is shown by a figure at p, 206, and named. Anomalocaris Canadensis, gen. et sp. nov. The diagram and description. do not make it appear to us to be a Phyllocarid. VI. Mr. Robert Etheridge, jun., in the ‘Records of the Geological Survey of New South Wales,’ vol. iii. part 1, 1892, pp. 5-8, pl. 4, describes and figures four specimens of the Hymenocaris Salteri, M‘Coy,. and states his belief that they belong to Lingulocaris; and, as there is. a L. Salteriana, he thinks that they should be called L. Maccoyiz. ON THE FOSSIL PHYLLOPODA OF THE PALEHOZOIC ROCKS. 469 One or more specimens of this Australian species had been seen by Mr. J. W. Salter, and referred by him to Caryocaris with some doubt. We have adopted Mr. Salter’s conclusion, both in a former report (for 1883) and in the ‘ Monogr. Brit. Palaoz. Phyll.,’ Pal. Soc., 1892, p. 93. Comparing Mr. Etheridge’s figures with those given of Oaryocaris by ourselves (op. cit., pl. 14, figs. 11-15), we find that one of ours is as large as any of the former, and that the modified shape of the ends of the valves does not necessarily remove them from Caryocaris. VII. With respect to Aptychopsis cordiformis, sp. nov., and Peltocaris anatina, Salter, mentioned at page 299 of the report for 1892, Mr. J. E. Marr informs us that the words ‘Coll. Marr’ should not have been attached to the former in our ‘ Monogr. Pal. Phyll.,’ part 2, 1892, p. 103, pl. 15, fig. 2, for it was collected long ago, being the only Paleozoic shield-shaped Phyllopod in the Cambridge Museum when Salter labelled it Peltocaris-anatina, overlooking its real generic character, and perhaps regarding it as a distorted specimen. By this name the specimen has ‘been referred to in lists of fossils as from the ‘Wenlock,’ and the real Peltocaris, which we have named P. anatina (‘ Monogr. Pal. Phyll.,’ p. 114, pl. 16, figs. 4-9), is a ‘ Llandovery’ fossil. It seems to be ex- pedient to give the old name anatina, instead of cordiformis, to the Aptychopsis (p. 103), as intimated by Mr. Marr in the ‘ Geol. Mag.’ for December, 1892, p. 585; and to distinguish the Peltocaris (p. 114), some specimens of which were collected by Mr. Marr, as P. Marri. VIII.

The Eurypterid-bearing Deposits of the Pentland Hills.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Dr. R. H. Traquarr (Chairman), Professor T. RuPERT JoNnES, and Mr. MaLcoLm Laurie (Secretary). (Drawn wp by Mr. M. Laurin.) In pursuance of the object for which the Committee were appointed Mr. Laurie spent three weeks in the Pentland Hills superintending the ex- cavations necessary to expose the fossiliferous beds. Three men were employed on this work, and the grant was more than expended on wages alone. Considerable difficulty was experienced in clearing the beds owing to the constant falling in of the superincumbent rocks, which are much shattered. The fossiliferous beds were removed in as large masses as their highly-jointed condition would allow; and it seemed best to convey the material to some place where it could be examined at leisure. Part of the material (about one and a half ton) lies at present at Mr. Laurie’s home in Duddingston, and the rest is safely deposited at Carlops, not far from the spot where it was procured. Owing to considerable delay and difficulty in obtaining permission from the proprietor to make the excavations in question, Mr. Laurie has not had time to examine more than a very small quantity of the material procured. The results, so far as they go, are promising, some half-dozen good specimens—including a large Lurypterus ? sp., Stylonwrus ornatus, Dre- panopterus Pentlandius, &c.—having been found, together with a large number of fragments of various forms. Your Committee desire to be reappointed, and request that a further sum of 10/. be granted to provide assistance in developing the material which has been procured from the excavations. ed ———s ON THE VOLCANIC PHENOMENA OF VESUVIUS. 471 The Volcanic Phenomena of Vesuvius and its Neighbourhood.— Report of the Committee, consisting of Mr. H. BAUERMAN, Mr. F. W. Rupter, Mr. J. J. H. Tea, and Professor H. J. JounsTon-Lavis. (Drawn up by Professor H. J. JOHNSTON- LAVIS.) Vesuvius.—During the first week of June 1892 much dust-bearing vapour escaped from the crater, but on the seventh of the month incan- descent lava-cakes were being ejected, and a greater flow of lava was visible in the Atrio del Cavallo. The central crater increased in activity during the 8th and 9th, but on the 10th much dusty smoke issued during the day, but at night no reflection was visible. The following day less vapour was emitted, which only occasionally was darkened by dust. During the 12th, 18th, 14th, and 15th very little vapour was visible about the crater; a little more, sometimes white and sometimes dark from dust, issued from the last date till the evening of the 22nd, when a fresh gush of lava came forth in the Atrio del Cavallo, and a few incan- descent cakes were ejected from the crater. On the 23rd more lava and high jets of incandescent lava-cakes were thrown out from the crater. The volcano was much quieter the next day, followed by marked repose during the rest of the month.! During the next two months little of note occurred. The lava some- times increased, and at other times it diminished, but it practically never stopped flowing. The central crater also varied within narrow limits, the vapour being occasionally charged with dust when a bit of crater edge collapsed and partly choked the main vent. During September much the same state persisted. No reflection was ever visible from the central crater, though the usual column of vapour escaped freely, and was accompanied from time to time by dust and sand. The month of October was a most unfavourable one, as for more than half of the month the cone was enveloped in cloud ; but neither during this month nor during November and December did any marked change occur at the central crater. Occasionally a faint but uncertain glimmer was visible on some evenings over the main vent. Lava, as usual, continued to pour forth, flowing first to one side and then to the other of the Atrio, so that the point of its exit described in the former report has been raised, and a hill sloping away to the W., N., and E. continues to rise and to obliterate part of the space between the great cone of Vesuvius and the escarpment of Monte Somma. During November the highest point of this boss, in the Atrio del Cavallo, piled up as it had been by the constant guttering forth of lava, was crusted over and surmounted by some ruined spiracles formed in June of the same year (1892). At certain points of this crust most beautiful sublimations of aphthitalite were deposited at a low red heat. In removing these deposits they were found to be of a dull red incandescence, but digging a few centimetres deeper amongst the scoriz, of a bright red 1 For much of the daily record I am indebted to Signor Avv. Bartolo Longo, pro- prietor of the observatory of the Valle di Pompei, and to Signors C. M. Tosti and Professor V. Capaccio, the observers. Unfortunately the record is not continuous, but what I have been able to obtain has been carefully checked and much extended by my closer observations on the volcano. 472 REPORT—1893. heat ; a little hematite was visible, and that quite close to the aphthitalite near the cooling surface. The aphthitalite occurred in thin plate-like crystals, very much resem- bling those of specular iron. They were simple hexagonal plates or com- pound feathers; only in the smaller crystals were the rhombohedral faces developed along the edges of the plate. Some were white with a faint opalescent tinge, but that variety was rare. Others were more opalescent and some quite milky. These latter shaded into examples of the most beautiful cerulean blue, and thence through varying tints of bird’s-egg green to light chrome green and greenish yellow. The blue was due to copper impurities, and the green to iron and copper sulphates combined. The crystallisation was best developed in the whiter or more translucent specimens. Crystals of different tints were often blotched with a reddish coppery lustre, due to the contemporaneous deposition of fine transparent laminze of hematite. : In some fissures of the hot lava were moss-like deposits of the mineral euchlorine (called by Scacchi ewclorina), of bright emerald green colour. The deposit of this, however, was very limited. Several rifts in the new lavas have been most beautifully coated with very delicate feathery deposits of mixed sodium and potassium chlorides. Some had grown to such dimensions and solidity that they could be removed. This form of sublimate, although one of the commonest, is extremely rare in collections, for it is so fine and light that the slightest current of air reduces it to a fine powder. At other spots thick saline crusts were deposited, but these proved to be very composite in nature, consisting of mixed sulphates and chlorides of the alkalies and alkaline earths, with much iron and a little copper. If we carefully examine the history of eruptions at Vesuvius in which a record of the time and place of sublimates is made, and if we make constant observations of the vapour components, one fact becomes evident. The vapour that first escapes from boiling lava when it reaches the surface of the earth consists in great part of sulphurous acid and probably alkaline sulphites. Later, and more slowly, the hydrochloric acid and chlorides volatilise. Thus, when much new lava is issuing sulphurous acid is very obvious at the central crater, and around this incrustations of sulphur and sulphites prevail over chlorides, which are only deposited or produced by the escape of hydrochloric acid gas at more distant fumaroles. At the point of exit of the lava sulphites are deposited, but after the lava has flowed some distance chlorides are more abundant. In May of this year when visiting the Atrio at the point of exit of the lava a phenomenon, of which I have never seen or heard of the like, could be studied. One of the curious conical spiracles, similar to those I described in the report of this committee for 1891, was puffing away with violent intermittent but not rhythmic blasts, and with the occasional escape of small fragments of lava. Watching this action, the cause of which has always appeared to me obscure, I noticed a large ball of incandescent pasty lava appear at the mouth of the spiracle at intervals, and as soon as the high pressure vapour found exit by its side it again fell back, and for a moment or two almost completely stopped any vapour escaping. It seemed to have nearly blocked the lower opening from which at times it was blown up by the vapour when the pressure in- creased. In fact it was somewhat like a ball valve. After watching this ON THE VOLCANIC PHENOMENA OF VESUVIUS. 473 lively display for nearly an hour we were at last rewarded by the spiracle clearing its throat of this obstruction, and its puffing became much more regular, softer, and more constant. I secured this expectorated ball which the spiracle had been so long in ejecting, and after allowing an hour for it to cool brought it home as an addition to my collection. I found round this spiracle several other such balls some 15 to 20 cm. in diameter, showing that the process had been repeated several times. The balls might be well taken for the so-called bombs, and is an explanation of a new though unimportant source of some of the structures included under the indefinite term of volcanic bomb. It is deeply to be regretted that the numbering of the dykes in the Atrio del Cavallo, which cost so much labour and even money, is rapidly disappearing. Campi Phlegraei.—The tunnel for the upper sewer in Naples has traversed the trachyte and entered a series of tuffs; but I propose to treat of these, as well as the peculiar piperno-like deposit of the Corroglio sewer, in another report or elsewhere, as the work is not yet quite complete. Here the peculiar piperno-like deposit has been traversed and a yellow tuff reached. Few facts of importance, either of a local or general vulcanological interest, have during the year come to light; but while in Naples I continue to keep a sharp look-out, and record any facts of interest. The reporter has to state that most of his available time during last winter was occupied in working out the eozoonal-like structures of the altered limestones of Monte Somma, a memoir on which subject has been presented to the Royal Dublin Society by Dr. J. W. Gregory and himself, in which they hope to have proved that these structures are all the result of metamorphism. The Collection, Preservation, and Systematic Registration of Photographs of Geological Interest in the United Kingdom.— Fourth Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor JAMES GEIKIE (Chairman), Professor T. G. Bonney, Dr. TEMPEST AN- DERSON, Dr. VALENTINE Bai, Mr. James E. BEDFoRD, Professor W. Boyp Dawkins, Mr. James W. Davis, Mr. Epmunp J. Gar- woop, Mr. WiLLIAM Gray, Mr. Ropert Kinston, Mr. ARTHUR S. Rem, Mr. R. H. Tippeman, Mr. W. W. Warts, Mr. Horace B. Woopwarp, and Mr. Osmunp W. Jerrs (Secretary). (Drawn wp by the Secretary.) Your Committee have the honour to append to this their fourth report a list of geological photographs added to the collection during the past year. The number shows an increase as compared with the previous year, and probably indicates the average number now to be expected within a similar period, if the operations of the Committee be continued. For the greater part, the photographs included in the present list are recent, having been taken during 1892-93, while those inserted in previous lists included a number which were photographed some years ago. It may be concluded that, among photographs of older date, the most 474 REPORT—1893., important are already registered in the collection, and that future addi- tions will consist chiefly of new photographs. The Committee will, of course, gladly receive copies of older views showing features of geological interest, whenever such can be obtained, as these are frequently valuable for purposes of comparison with more recent pictures. The Committee are again pleased to report a higher scientific quality of the views sent in, showing that the object of the Committee in securing illustrations of natural features of geological importance is becoming better appreciated. The number of photographs received and registered from the date of the last report (June 1892) to the end of July 1893 is 140, bringing the total contents of the collection to 840. The new additions illustrate localities in the following geographical areas :— ENGLAND AND WALES: Cheshire . : - : E ; . pees lt!

A further series of views is, however, being prepared for the Committee by Miss M. K. Andrews, of Belfast, and by Mr. Wm. Gray, Belfast. The completion of photographic records of the various counties will be a work of time. Local societies are now giving greater attention to the subject, and when these efforts are systematically conducted the result will doubtless be satisfactory. The Committee are indebted to the delegates of the corresponding societies for their aid in bringing the ON PHOTOGRAPHS OF GEOLOGICAL INTEREST. 475 matter so prominently before their members. It is hoped that by next year contributions from several localities not hitherto represented in the collection will be received as the result of the special efforts now being made with this object. Your Committee held a meeting at Edinburgh on August 5, 1892, and discussed plans for the furtherance of the work. Among other matters it was decided to obtain an expression of opinion from members. who are practical photographers as to the best form of camera for use in the field. In geological expeditions it is necessary to consider the weight of impedimenta when the distance traversed is long or arduous. Several members advocated a small }-plate camera or ‘Kodak,’ from the negatives of which enlargements can be made—a plan successfully adopted in several instances. Mr. J. Hopkinson finds this form of instrument less successful with Tertiary sections, and writes: ‘They require monochromatic or orthochromatic plates.’ The best photograph for the Committee’s purpose is that which shows the details of rock-structure most clearly, irrespective of size of plate. The Committee will be glad to hear the further opinions of members as to suitable instruments for field photography. Several applications have been received for the loan of photographs from the collection for the purpose of being exhibited at soirées and meetings of local societies. In view of the risk of loss and deterioration of photographs so transmitted and for other obvious reasons, the Com- mittee, while appreciating the general interest shown in their scheme, regret their inability to sanction the loan of any part of the collection. In order, however, to meet the wishes of societies who may desire to show their members examples of the photographs collected by the Committee, it has been decided to form an album containing duplicates of selected views, which will be available for the use of societies who may apply for the same for purposes of exhibition. Donations of duplicate prints will be welcomed for this purpose. Applications for the loan of an album of duplicate views should be addressed to the Secretary. Up to the present, only some half-dozen duplicates have been received ; but it is hoped that this number will be considerably augmented. It is proposed to include in the ‘duplicate’ series about fifty photographs. These will be useful in spreading information in various quarters as to the requirements. of the Committee and the progress of their scheme for the collection of geological photographs, and will doubtless lead to an extended interest being taken in the subject. It may be mentioned that the Secretary was enabled during last. winter to deliver several lectures on the work of the Geological Photo- graphs Committee in Liverpool, Chester, Manchester, Birkenhead, Rochdale (on the invitation of the Rochdale Literary and Scientific Society), and elsewhere. The lectures were illustrated by lantern slides taken from photographs in the collection and from other sources. At the Edinburgh meeting a large selection from the collection was exhibited in a room placed at their disposal by the Committee of Section C. The series was augmented by special exhibits of enlarge- ments by Dr. Tempest Anderson and Mr. W. Lamont Howie, to whom the Committee beg to tender their thanks. In this room were also exhibited a series of photographs taken under the superintendence of the Geological Survey of Scotland. The number of photographs now brought together precludes the possibility of the whole being arranged for exhibition at every meeting of 476 REPORT— 1893. the Association, but, so far as local arrangements permit, it is proposed to continue the exhibition of a selection of the views, including the photographs presented since the previous meeting. The system of mounting, in order to preserve the photographs from injury (alluded to in the last report), has proved to be satisfactory ; and the mounting and arrangement of the entire collection are now being pro- ceeded with. The mounts adopted are of standard size, 154 x 12 inches, provided with perforated edges to facilitate proper arrangement. These will be supplied to donors of photographs who are willing to mount their own Views. Reference has been made in former reports to a proposed publication consisting of reproductions of selected typical geological photographs. Having fully considered the proposal, the Committee have come to the conclusion, having strict regard to the objects for which they were ap- pointed, that this matter lies beyond their province ; they will be glad, however, to afford assistance to any publisher or other person who wishes to undertake the suggested publication, so desirable from an educational point of view. It is with much regret that the Committee have to record the decease of another of their members. In Mr. J. W. Davis, F.G.S., of Halifax, they had an esteemed colleague and an active member. The fine series of photographic illustrations issued by the Yorkshire Geological and Poly- technic Society was presented through Mr. Davis, whose influence was always exerted towards the furtherance of the work of the Committee. Owing to the illness of the Secretary the completion of the task of arranging the mounted photographs in portfolios has had to be deferred. The Committee request reappointment and renewal of the grant (which was not drawn this year) in order that further progress may be made with the collection, with a view to its being rendered as complete and as widely representative as possible. Several photographs were received during the year without any par- ticulars of locality or even of photographer. These could not be included in the following list. It will greatly aid the work of the Committee if photographs presented are accompanied by as many details as may be possible. When not mounted on the standard mounts, prints should be forwarded flat (not rolled). Copies of forms for the insertion of descrip- tive details, and of the circular of instructions (the purpose of which is to secure uniformity of action), will be supplied on application to any member of the Committee. FOURTH LIST OF GEOLOGICAL PHOTOGRAPHS. (to suLty 1893.) Norr.—This list contains the subjects of geological photographs, copies of which have been received by the Secretary of the Committee since the publication of the last report. Photographers are asked to affix the registered numbers, as given below, to their negatives for convenience of future reference. Copies of photographs desired can, in most instances, be obtained either from the photographer direct or from the officers of the local society under whose auspices the views were taken. ON PHOTOGRAPHS OF GEOLOGICAL INTEREST. 477 The price at which copies may be obtained depends upon the size of the print and local circumstances, over which the Committee have no control. The Committee find it necessary to reiterate the fact that they do not assume the copyright of any photographs included in this list. Inquiries respecting them, and applications for permission to reproduce photographs, should not be addressed to the Committee, but to the photographer direct. ENGLAND AND WALES. CHESHIRE.

Tue Committee have to report that the number of lists received is still insufficient to attempt the tabulation of results. During the present year the Manchester Museum has published a list of its type specimens of fossils, prepared by Mr. H. Bolton; and the Rev. P. B. Brodie has furnished a MS. list of the large number of types and figured specimens in his private collection. A short supplementary list has also been pub- lished by the Woodwardian Museum, Cambridge (H. Woods, ‘Geol. Mag.,’ Dec. 3, vol. x. 1893, pp. 111-118). Notwithstanding the slow progress, the Committee feel that their existence has an important influence in obtaining the registration of specimens which might be overlooked, and ‘they desire to be reappointed.

The investigation of the character of the high-level shell-bearing deposits at Clava, Chapelhall, and other localtties has been undertaken with the view of re-examining the evidence bearing on the submergence of Scotland during the Glacial period. Recent contributions to the literature of glacial geology in this and other countries have raised doubts regarding the extent of this submergence. Selecting the shelly clay at Clava as a typical example of the Scottish high-level shell beds, the Com- mittee have meanwhile confined their operations to this locality. The grant from the British Association having proved insufficient for the work, the investigations at Clava have been completed by a grant obtained through the courtesy of Sir Archibald Geikie from the Council of the Royal Society of London, and by private subscriptions raised by the _ Secretary of the Committee. II.—Groaraputcat Posrrion!:” The shell-bearing deposit at Clava occurs on the east side of the valley of the Nairn, and six miles due east of the town of Inverness. Situated on the south bank of the Cassie Burn, a tributary of Allt Ruadh (the Red Burn), the latter being an affluent of the river Nairn, the shelly clay is about half a mile distant from the Nairn, about 200 feet above the _ level of that river at Clava, and about 500 feet above the sea-level (see _ map, p. 499). III.—Previous OBSERVATIONS REGARDING THE SHELLY CLay. The first description of this deposit was given by Mr. James Fraser, C.E., Inverness,! who made a careful examination of the section 1 See Trans. Geol. Soc. Edinb., vol. iv. Part ii. 1882; also Trans. Inverness Field Club, vol. ii. rr2 484 REPORT— 1893. then brought to light, together with the superficial deposits in the sur- rounding district.

Ivison Macadam, Edinburgh, were given. (c) A list of the organic remains (comprising several Arctic shells), determined by Mr. David Robertson and Mr. T. F. Jamieson, was pub- lished. (d) From the character of the deposit and the condition of the organic remains, as described by the foregoing authorities, Mr. Fraser inferred that the shelly clay was in situ, and indicated a depression of the land to the extent of over 500 feet prior to the deposition of the overlying boulder clay. In 1886 Dr. H. W. Crosskey made an examination of the shelly clay and glacial deposits in the Nairn Valley ; his conclusions confirmed those previously published by Mr. Fraser.! Recently several objections have been raised? against the acceptance of these conclusions, so that further investigation became desirable. TV.—Deramep ExamMInaTION oF THE SHELLY CLAY AND ASSOCIATED Deposits BY THE COMMITTEE. The shelly clay is found at or under the base of a prominent broad- topped ridge of drift on the south bank of the Cassie Burn, which there flows along the foot of a bluff cliff of glacial deposits (see photo-engravings, Plates II. and III.). This conspicuous ridge is traceable for upwards of two miles in a north-easterly direction, parallel with the river Nairn, and for about 1,200 yards in a south-westerly direction, About200 yards nearer the river, and nearly 100 feet lower, occurs a narrower ridge, along the top of which runs the Craggie and Cawdor road for more than a mile. These parallel ridges of drift are flanked on the south-east sides by marshy or alluvial hollows; indeed, at the point where the shelly clay occurs the Cassie Burn flows for some distance along the hollow separating the two ridges. Both ridges have an irregular fall of about 50 feet per mile towards the north-east ; the upper ridge being nearly uniform, and the lower one irregular in its fall. A.—Eacavation of ‘ Main Pit.’ The Committee began their examination of the shelly clay by excavating a large pit or trench at the base of the cliff on the south bank of the Cassie Burn. The site of the pit was 430 yards distant from the junction of the Cassie Burn with Allt Ruadh. At the outset the length of the trench was 25 feet and the breadth 15 feet at the surface, but as 1 Trans. Inverness Field Club, vol. iii. 4 Trans. Geol. Soc. Glasgow, vol. ix.; Brit. Assoc. Rep., 1892, p. 714. ee — Se ——_— ee le dee . i wes oly Sa eT ON THE SHELL-BEARING DEPOSITS AT CLAVA, AND OTHER PLACES. 485 the work proceeded it had to be made longer and wider, owing to slips of clay and sand from the face of the cliff. Though the work was seriously impeded by unfavourable weather, the excavation was eventually suc- cessful in showing an admirable section of the shelly clay and underlying gravel, without reaching the solid rock. The section thus revealed by the exposed surface of the cliff and the trench was as follows :— 1. Surface soil and boulder clay from top of ridge of drift =43 feet, of which only the lower 12 feet exposed to view (see Section of ‘Main Pit, p.15) . ; : awed ws 2. Fine sand. ; ‘ 5 f . : . 20 3. Blue shelly clay . : 3 : : : 4 . 16 4. Coarse yellowish-brown gravel. ; : f 5 = 40 Throughout this report this excavation is referred to as the ‘ main pit’ or ‘main section’ of shelly clay. A careful examination of these various deposits was made on the ground by most of the members of Committee, with the following results :— 1. Boulder Clay, overlying the sand and shelly clay.—As this deposit is extensively developed in the neighbourhood of Clava, the Committee selected a typical section for examination, where there is a splendid exposure of the included blocks. The section occurs on the south bank of the Cassie Burn, from 130 to 160 yards south-west of the ‘ main pit,’ where the boulder clay also overlies the shelly clay, and where the deposit resembles in every particular that above the ‘ main pit.’ The deposit is of a light brown colour, and the matrix consists mainly of fine sand; the stones are more or less well-rounded, varying in size from fine gravel up to 2 feet in diameter. Many of the blocks of sandstone are finely striated along the longer axis. The deposit is more sandy and gravelly than the typical ground moraine or till of Scotland. But though the proportion of clay among the materials is small, it is usually sufficient to bind them into a compact mass. The largest proportion of the included blocks has been derived from the adjacent Lower Old Red Sandstone strata. Of these many have been obtained from the micaceous flagstones occurring in situ, in the Easter Daltullich Burn, the river Nairn, and other localities to the west and south-west of Clava. On referring to the table of percentages of stones, which has been prepared to show the variation in the character of the included blocks in the shelly clay and associated deposits, it will be seen that while the percentage of Old Red Sandstone blocks in the overlying boulder clay varies from 56 to 76 per cent., in the shelly clay it amounts to only 17 percent. No organic remains have been found in this deposit. 2. Fine Sand.—The sand underlying the boulder clay in the ‘main pit’ is of a yellowish brown colour and fine-grained. At first sight it seems to be free from stones, but on closer examination a few may be detected under a quarter of an inch in size. The lowest 4 feet of sand overlying the shelly clay is very compact, harder even than the latter deposit. The line of junction between the sand and shelly clay is nearly horizontal, and clearly defined by a difference in the colour and texture of the materials. The boundary line between the sand and overlying boulder _ clay is less distinct. After a heavy rainfall or the frosts of winter, lines 486 REPORT—1893. of stratification are visible. No organic remains have been found in this deposit. PS. The Shelly Clay.—The highest part of the shelly clay near the south-east end of the ‘ main pit’ is 503} feet above sea-level. From the levels taken in 1882, when a small excavation was made by Mr. Fraser, the height of the shelly clay at the front of the west end of the present ‘main pit’ was 501 feet. The top of this deposit where visible rises slightly towards the east or south-east to the extent perhaps of 1 foot in 20 or 25 feet. The shelly clay as exposed in the ‘main pit’ varied from 14 to 16 feet in thickness. It is a tenacious clay or silt of a blue dark grey colour, save the lowest 2 feet, where the tint is brownish grey. At this lower level there is an admixture of fine gravel. The boundary line between the shelly clay and underlying gravel is clearly defined. There is no intermingling of the two deposits. There are slight traces of stratification in the blue clay. At a depth of 34 feet a horizontal line was observed in the deposit after exposure for several days to heavy rain, but scarcely any part of this line could be traced when a fresh surface was revealed. At a depth of 65 or 7 feet, horizontal streaks or thin layers of sand or fine gravel occur, but not in continuous layers. It is also important to note, as throwing light on the origin of the deposit, that the silt was traversed at certain levels by annelid burrows, more or less vertical, the tracks being darker in colour than the sur- rounding silt. The burrows in most cases were laterally compressed. Of special interest also is the occurrence of a series of nearly vertical eracks or fissures traversing the clay in a uniform direction, viz., north- west and south-east, the tops of the fissures being bent towards the north-east. An attempt was made to photograph these fissures or cracks, which formed a conspicuous feature in the deposit. The upper 12 feet of blue clay is almost free from stones; those which do occur within these limits vary from the size of peas to 14 inch in diameter as a rule. But they become more numerous and slightly larger at a depth of about 6 feet. In this upper portion they are nearly all well-rounded and of the harder varieties. The lowest 3 or 4 feet of the deposit (especially the lowest 18 inches) contains a larger proportion of stones, varying in size from peas to 2 inches across, and almost all well-rounded. At a lower depth than 6 feet a few stones of a larger size than the foregoing dimensions were found, the largest varying from 3 to 6 inches across, some being well-rounded and some subangular. The largest stone met with in the blue clay, measuring 9 inches by 7 inches by 43, inches, consists of dark micaceous. gneiss: it is partially rounded, ice-grooved on one side, and with the mark where a balanus had been attached on one end of the grooving. Two small stones with several nearly entire balani were found at the very bottom of the shelly clay at the south-west end of the pit. During a subsequent inspection of the ‘ main pit’ two small striated stones of fine-grained sandstone were observed in the lowest 6 feet of the deposit; and about the same level, two rounded stones (4 inches by 3 inches) with fresh balanus marks. Only three striated stones were met with in the shelly clay, the general well-rounded character of the stones and the absence of stria- tions being a striking feature of the deposit. ON THE SHELL-BEARING DEPOSITS AT CLAVA, AND OTHER PLaCEs. 487 A careful examination of the included blocks showed the following interesting results: 59 per cent. consist of micaceous gneiss, about 10 per cent. of granite, about 12 per cent. of quartz-schist and mica-schist, &c., or in all 81 per cent. of the older crystalline rocks, and only about 17 per cent. of Old Red Sandstone. One small block of Jurassic grit was detected in the shelly clay which was sent to Mr. Horace Woodward, of the Geological Survey of England, now engaged in mapping the Secondary rocks in Scotland, who has kmdly furnished the Chairman of the Committee with the following note on the specimen :—‘ There are gritty beds at the base of the Lias, in the Lower Oolites, and in the Middle Oolites of the Brora country that closely resemble your specimens. The nearest approach to it is in specimens of Lower Oolite from Skye and Raasay. This particular bed is part of the basement beds of the Inferior Oolite at the base of the so-called “ Great Kstuarine Series.” Curiously enough, we get no exposure of these beds in the Sutherland region—only the upper parts of the Lower Oolite (with the Brora coal). Hence my opinion is that your specimen most nearly approaches in character to beds of Inferior Oolite (basement portion).’ Notwithstanding the strong resemblance of this block of Jurassic grit to strata in Skye and Raasay, the Committee are of opinion that it has been derived from some area of Secondary rocks in the North-east Highlands. The nearest point to Clava where Jurassic rocks occur in situ is about 12 miles due north of the shelly clay, on the shore of the Black Isle, at Ethie, near the Sutors of Cromarty. The occurrence of this solitary block of Jurassic grit is of considerable importance, as will be readily admitted when we summarise’ the evidence bearing on the direction of the ice-flow in the neighbourhood of Inverness (see map for relative positions of Clava and Kthie, p. 499). Shells are found throughout the whole of the blue clay or at least from within 5 or 6 inches of the top to the bottom of the deposit. They are most abundant at a depth of 2 or 3 feet from the top. Many of the shells are quite whole at all depths, others are partially crushed, others are in a tender or decaying condition. In the lowest part of the clay the shells are of a darker colour, and many of them are so decayed that they will scarcely bear handling. At all depths fragments of Mytilus are rather numerous, but so decayed that a whole specimen cannot be obtained. The prevalent shell is Littorina littorea. In the case cf many of the shells the epidermis is in perfect preserva- tion, and no indications of ice-markings or abrasion could be detected on any of them. The absence of ice-markings on the shells is a remark- able feature, which serves to distinguish the Clava shelly clay in one particular from the shelly boulder clay of Caithness and Orkney. In the latter many of the shells are striated like the stones in the deposit: - It is important to observe, however, that some of the bivalves, such as Astarte, with both valves attached, showing no signs of abrasion and otherwise complete, were found with both valves crushed together. During the examination of the ‘main pit’ on October 15, 1892, the rine observations were made regarding the position of some of the shells :— Astarte, single valve at 6 feet depth, concave side up. Natica, H § mouth up. Inttorina (large), Br “3 mouth down. Natica, mouth down. ” ” Natica, at 7 feet depth, mouth down. 488 REPORT—1893. The terminal joints of the great claws of the velvet swimming crab (Portunus puber) and the spider crab (Hyas araneus) were also observed. Collections of shells, made by some of the members of the Committee and by the workmen, were submitted to Mr. David Robertson, of Millport, for examination, together with samples of the clay in boxes. His thorough knowledge of the organic remains found in the Scottish shelly clays has been of invaluable service to the Committee, and at their request he has prepared a separate report on the materials which passed through his hands. All geologists interested in these researches will cordially appre- ciate the value of his special contributions to this report. With the sanction of Sir Archibald Geikie, the Director-General, Mr. James Bennie, of the Geological Survey of Scotland, made a collection of organic remains from the uppermost 6 feet of the shelly clay, the list of shells being determined by Mr. Sharman, paleontologist to the Geological Survey of England, and revised by Mr. Robertson. 4, Gravel underlying shelly clay.—This deposit, which was pierced to a depth of 10 feet in the ‘main pit,’ is of a yellowish brown colour, and of a coarse, unequal quality. The sand in this gravel is coarse-grained, dif- fering from the fine sand above the blue clay and from the sandy matrix of the overlying boulder clay. The deposit is in some parts roughly stratified. The stones vary in size from fine gravel to blocks 6 or 7 inches across, while a few measure 14 inches in diameter. The largest block, composed of Old Red Sandstone, measuring 21 inches by 20 inches by 8 inches, occurred from 2 to 3 feet below the bottom of the shelly clay. It was flat-shaped, subangular, and in the pit dipped to the south- west at an angle of about 40° or 45°. On referring to the table of percentage of stones it will be seen that there is a wide difference in the proportion of the blocks of Old Red Sand- stone found in the underlying gravel from that met with in the shelly clay. Indeed the percentage of Old Red blocks in the underlying gravel approaches very nearly to that found in the overlying sandy boulder clay. The blocks of Old Red Sandstone in the gravel were wholly of local origin ; a few were striated, most of them were rough and angular on the edges, and several of the flagstone type were highly decomposed. In like manner the blocks of granite and micaceous gneiss closely resemble similar rocks in situ in the neighbourhood. Before closing the ‘ main pit ’ two successful photographs of the section were taken by Mr. Whyte, of Inverness, at the request of the Committee, one at a distance of 40 yards and the other near the edge of the pit (see Plates II. and II.). B.—Small Excavation 160 yards 8.W. of the ‘Main Pit.’ The Committee made a small excavation on the south bank of the Cassie Burn, 160 yards south-west of the ‘main pit,’ at the base and west end of the great section of boulder clay already described, which revealed a thin layer of shelly blue clay at a height of 512 feet above the sea- level. The deposit there exposed was only 15 inches thick: it yielded some of the shells found in the ‘main pit,’ including Astarte, Natica Grenlandica, Leda pernula, &c., and Foraminifera. Here the shelly clay was underlain by 10 inches of hard brown clay, the latter resembling the deposit found on the bank of the Cassie Burn, 233 yards south-west of the ‘ main pit,’ to which we may now briefly refer. 6374 Report Brit.

For a depth of 6 or 7 feet it is entirely free from stones, but at the level of the burn a few occur, though very small. Though no organic remains have been found in this deposit, and though it differs in colour from the typical shelly clay of the ‘main pit,’ some of the Committee are inclined to regard it as belonging to the same formation. The chemical analysis of the material is interesting. It was found by Mr. W. Ivison Macadam, Edin- burgh, to contain 31 per cent. of ferric oxide, and slightly over 1 per cent. of aluminic oxide. ‘It is not a clay, strictly speaking, but a sand bound together by iron.’ ' Clava Shell-bed.—Percentages of stones from the lowest 6 ft. of shelly clay, and from the highest 9 ft. of gravel below the shelly clay, and also from boulder clay above shelly clay, from lists written to Mr. Horne’s dictation on the ground.

On reaching the depth of 10 feet below the shelly clay in the “main pit,’ the Committee found that they could not carry the exca- vation further down without timbering the trench; and this could not be safely done so close to the cliff. Being desirous of reaching the solid rock near the site of the main section, and also of proving the horizontal extension of the shelly clay, they resolved to make a series of bores. For this purpose they employed Mr. Pollock, an experienced mineral borer from Airdrie. The accompanying ground plan on the scale of 325 feet to the inch shows the relative positions of the various bores. In fixing the sites the object of the Committee was to prove the extension of the shelly clay along the south bank of the Cassie Burn. Two bores were put down 1 Trans. Geol. Soc. Edin., vol. iv. Part ii, 490 REPORT—1893. between the ‘main pit’ and the small exposure of the shelly clay 160 yards south-west of the ‘main pit.’ Other bores were put down to the north-east of the ‘main pit,’ to prove the extension in that direction. The borer’s ‘Journal,’ stating the nature of the materials with the respective thicknesses, is givenin a tabular form below. Mr. Fraser, who made the levelling observations in connection with the work carried out by the Committee, determined the height of the surface of the ground at each bore. He has added columns to the borer’s ‘Journal,’ showin the total depths of the respective deposits and the total heights above sea level.

FERN Bank, MILLPORT, July 11, 1893. Dear Sir,—I have finished the examination of the clays from the bores at Clava taken at different depths. Very few animal remains were noticed. I have given the proportions of the mud, sand, and gravel that each parcel contained, and the relative proportion of the animal remains, and their names. To save repetition in the follow- ing list, I may state that the proportion of mud is that which passed through a sieve of ninety-six meshes to the inch, the sand that which passed through a sieve of twenty-four meshes to the inch, and the gravel that which was retained in the same sieve of twenty-four meshes to the inch. I have kept all the materials of each parcel separately, except the muds which passed away in the washing. I bave put samples of the sand into small bottles, so that each parcel can be compared with the others. The gravels are parcelled up for the same purpose, so that the different rocks of each can be compared. The gravels are mostly water-worn, particularly the larger pieces. No striations were noticed on any of the stones, large or small. The term ‘floats’ means what is gathered on the surface of the water when the dry clay is put in it and stirred up. In taking the proportions, fractions were omitted or lumped.—Yours very truly, Davip RoBERTSON. Bores or Crayva Deposit.

GENERAL Resutts or Bortnc OPERATIONS. In considering the results obtained by the boring operations we must bear in mind that this method of examination is not so rigidly accurate as excavations from the surface. Even with the most careful manipula- tion of the tubes it is almost impossible to prevent minute organisms such as Foraminifera being carried down to lower levels from overlying deposits. Again, shells might occur in a bed of clay, and yet the sample of the material brought up by the boring-tube might not yield any traces of such organisms. A remarkable instance of the latter experience may here be adduced. In the case of bore No. 1, which was put down at the edge of the ‘main pit,’ upwards of 7 feet of the dark blue clay was pierced, and yet not a single shell fragment was found in the sample of this clay sent to Mr. Robertson nor by members of the Committee on the spot, though from direct observation in the ‘main pit’ we know that shells are met with in this part of the deposit. Important results were obtained from bore No. 1, which was put down within 5 feet of the edge of the ‘main pit.’ The solid rock, con- sisting of coarse pebbly grit of Old Red Sandstone age, was reached at a depth of 454 feet. Though crushed by the borer’s tools the rock was readily recognised as identical with the coarse grit or fine conglomerate found at the foot of the cliff near Allt Ruadh, about 330 yards north-east of bore No.1. No less interesting is the result that the rough gravel and sandy clay underlying the shelly clay in the ‘main pit’ was found to rest on 214 feet of ‘brown clay and stones.’ The only organisms obtained by Mr. Robertson from the sample of this latter deposit are Foraminifera. From the evidence at their disposal the Committee do not feel justified in forming a definite opinion regarding this deposit. In bore No. 2, 44 yards south-west of bore No. 1, the blue shelly clay was reached at a depth of 16 feet, or 4954 feet above sea-level. The sample yielded fragments of the following shells: Lacuna divaricata and Iittorina obtusata, with Ostracoda and Foraminifera. In bore No. 3, 92 yards south-west of bore No. 1, dark blue sandy clay was pierced at a depth of 23} feet, which was recognised in the field as bearing a close resemblance to the typical blue grey clay of the ‘main pit.’ Curiously enough, no organic remains seem to have been recorded from the sample examined by Mr. Robertson. The blue clay was not found in bore No. 4 at a depth of 25 feet. Had funds permitted the Committee were anxious to try a deeper bore on the cliff further south. At a distance of 61 yards, north-east of bore No. 1, a trial bore, No. 5 did not encounter the blue clay. Bore No. 6 was sunk 14 feet further up the face of the cliff, and though again the typical blue clay was not met with, interesting results were obtained. In the hard-bound sand, at a depth of 21 to 24 feet, spines of Hchinus and Spatangus were met with, while in the hard brown clay and stones (depth 27 feet) one | crustacean was found. The final bore, No. 7, was sunk 30 yards north-east of bore No. 1: it pierced the blue clay at a depth of 114 feet from the surface, the thickness of the deposit amounting to 2} feet. It yielded Ostracoda and Foramini- fera, while similar organisms were met with in the overlying ‘hard- bound sand’ at a depth of from 8 to 9 feet. ee ON THE SHELL-BEARING DEPOSITS AT CLAVA, AND OTHER PLACES, 497 Eatent of Shelly Clay.—From the excavations and trial bores it would appear that the shelly clay is continuous for a distance of 190 yards along the south-east bank of the Cassie Burn—viz., from bore No. 7, situated 30 yards north-east of bore No. 1, to the small excavation 160 yards south-west of the ‘ main pit.’ The Committee regret that, owing to the cost of these trial bores, they were unable to determine the thickness of the blue shelly clay in each bore. Had funds permitted they would have traced the extension of the deposit in the area north of the Cassie Burn and other directions. Section at ‘Main Prr’ to Sorm Rock. By tabulating the results (1) of the excavation at the ‘ main pit,’ (2) of bore No. 1, and (3) the section on the cliff above the ‘main pit,’ the Committee are able to construct the following section, showing the sequence of deposits at this locality :— Feet 1.

The direction of the ice-flow in the neighbourhood of Inverness is obviously of great importance in relation to the question referred to the Committee. They have drawn up a list of strie based on observations made partly by Mr. Horne in the course of his survey of the district, which are here given with the sanction of the Director-General of the Geological Survey, and partly by Mr. James Fraser. One instance west of Ethie has been noted by Mr. Hugh Miller. With the view of present- ing these observations in a clearer form they have prepared a strie map of the district extending from Cromarty in the north to Croachy in Strathnairn in the south (fig. 3).

From the foregoing evidence it will be seen that on the high grounds. between Moy Hall and Faillie in Upper Strathnairn the strie point on an average due north; a fact ascribable to the ice moving seawards from the elevated range between the Nairn and the Findhorn; while further: to the south-west, near Inverarnie and Loch Duntelchaig, the direction is N. 20° W. Near the river course from Croachy to Craggie the trend of the ice-markings is more or less parallel with the course of the valley, or on an average N. 32° H. In the neighbourhood of Essich, near Loch Ness, the trend varies from E. 13°-32° N. In the tract between Loch Ness and Cawdor Castle striz are not easily found owing to the more or ON THE SHELL-BEARING DEPOSITS AT CLAVA, AND OTHER PLACES. 501 less continuous covering of superficial deposits; but in Hillhead Quarry, near Dalcross station, the direction is N.E.; and further on, at Kin- steary, south of Nairn, from HE. 5° N. to HE. 17° S. (see list of striz). Proceeding northwards to the Black Isle the striated surfaces between Beauly Firth and Munlochy Bay clearly prove that the trend of the ice- flow varied from EH. 12°-30° N. Near Avoch the direction of the ice- markings is EH. 3° N.; while near Ethie, about three miles south of Cromarty, it is HK. 25° N. So far as the strize are concerned the evidence points to the conclusion that the land ice that passed over Clava did not previously traverse the Beauly or Moray Firths. It would appear that the ice which glaciated that portion of the Nairn Valley came from the Great Glen, and from the mountains to the S.EH. of the loch towards the sources of the Findhorn, and at some stage of the Ice-age may have traversed part of the bed of Loch Ness in its onward march. Transport of Boulders.—In the reports of the Boulder Committee of the Royal Society, Edinburgh, it is stated that boulders of the well- known foliated granite of Dirriemore, west of Ben Wyvis, are ‘ scattered abundantly all over the Black Isle.’ They ‘have been carried across, not only the ridge of the Black Isle, but what is now the Moray Firth, to beyond Elgin, and they may be seen on the coast between Burghead and Lossiemouth.’! They have been found near the Enzie post-office, but none so large as those dug out during the excavations for the Buckie Harbour.” The fine-grained pinkish granite of Abriachan on the west side of Loch Ness occurs in the gravel of Tomnahurich near the town of Inverness, ‘ and eastwards of this point, on beyond Nairn and Forres, it is found less in large boulders, though it occurs in considerable masses, than as forming part of the gravel deposits which are so marked a feature on the south shores of the Moray Firth.’3 It is further stated that boulders of the ‘ liver-coloured conglomerate,’ which occurs in situ between Inverfarigaig and Loch Duntelchaig, are distributed ‘over the country between Loch Ness and Lossiemouth.’ Cumberland’s Stone on Culloden Moor, the boulders named Tomriach on the bank of the Nairn, near Cantraydoun, and Clach-na-Cailliche, near the top of the Hill of Urchany, south of Nairn, are stated to have been derived from this area, the general distribution of these conglomerate boulders being to the N.E. of Caisteal-an-Duin-Riabhaich, near the junction of the Strath- errick and Dores roads, onwards to Elgin. The grey granite of ‘Stratherrick ‘is found in blocks of different sizes, some of them large, all over the country east towards Elgin, intermingled with the con- glomerate just mentioned.’ ‘It is also found in blocks scattered on the very top of the ridge of conglomerate between Loch Ced-Glas and Loch ‘Ness.’° It is further recorded that boulders of the gneiss of Stratherrick and the Monadhliath Mountains are found in Strathnairn, near the Free Church of Farr, Farr House, near Flichity, and again further down the valley below Daviot, not far from the mansion of Nairnside.® From the foregoing evidence it is inferred ‘that the general direction of movement of these blocks has been eastwards, but chiefly from S.W. to N.E., parallel to the trend of the coast of the Moray Firth at this part.’7 1 See Fifth Report, pp. 68, 69. ?

Imp. Roy. Zool. Botan. Soc., Vienna. The portion of shelly clay from Clava entrusted to me for exami- nation was, with the exception of a small bagful, chiefly in one piece, taken at 25 feet from the top of the ‘ main section,’ and in a box of broken pieces of stony clay from the bottom of the same section. I had also packages of clay, sand, and gravel from other parts of the deposit, as hereinafter mentioned. 1. The clay in the above-mentioned bag, being taken from different parts of the section, was considered to be a fair sample of the shelly clay. It consisted of— 90 per cent. mud ; ay sand, mostly angular (grey) ; 3 ‘3 stones. None of the stones was noticed to be striated ; some—chiefly sand- stones—were angular; the others were mostly water-worn and well polished. None was much larger than a gooseberry. There may have been a little more sand in this instance, as some of the finer portion may have passed off with the mud. Mica scales were plentiful. The clay seemed to indicate deposition in still water, showing no traces of strong currents, and containing few stones, and those mostly small in size. 2. The shelly clay, 160 yards south-west of the ‘main section,’ con- sisted of— 82 per cent. mud ; 16 ts sand (grey); 2 i stones. The stones were water-worn. No striation was detected. 3. The sand in a tin box, taken from 2} to 3 feet above the shelly clay of the ‘main section,’ was in lumps requiring some force to break, and was still harder when dry. It consisted of— 34 per cent. mud; G45. oss light-coloured fine sand ; 2 s per cent. stones. None of the stones exceeded the size of a pea. The sand is very fine, mixed with a few small stones. No marine organisms were detected in it. On the whole, it had much the character of blown sand. It was much lighter in colour than the sand washed out of the shelly clay, and contained little or none of the dark mica prevalent in the latter. 4, The stony clay, being bottom part of the shelly clay, near west end of ‘ main section,’ consisted of— 48 per cent. mud; ns sand, with many red grains ; 28 a stones. These stones were water-worn. No striation was noticed. In this stony clay six Foraminifera and one Ostracod were obtained. Independently of the finding of Microzoa, I was doubtful whether this was part of the shelly clay, or had got mixed with it, or whether an error had occurred in some other way. To make sure of this point another portion was prepared, and here Foraminifera were still more ON THE SHELL-BEARING DEPOSITS AT CLAVA, AND OTHER PLACES. 503 numerous, and a few Ostracoda were also found, leaving no doubt that they belonged to the deposit. 5. The gravel (in second tin box) taken from 2 feet below the shelly clay, at east end of the ‘ main section,’ was prepared in the usual way, and lost little by washing. The stones were all well water-worn, with the exception of the sandstones, most of which appeared to have been sub- jected to little or no rolling. A few rootlets and two Foraminifera were obtained. Although every precaution had been taken to prevent admix- ture of the materials, still there are many ways in which this might occur, either in the field or during examination. The sand from this part of the section is of a light yellowish colour, and consists chiefly of small well-rounded particles of quartz with some light grains of mica, derived apparently from the adjacent Old Red Sandstone. In these respects it closely resembles the sand which overlies the shelly clay, and differs ina marked degree from that contained in the shelly clay itself, which, as already mentioned, is dark or dark-grey in colour, and contains much black mica, apparently derived from the dis- integration of gneissose rocks. Remarks. The deposit in all its aspects, taken in connection with its high level, is very puzzling. Although its Arctic character is well established, it differs much from any of the post-Tertiary clays that have come under my notice, particularly in respect of the small variety of fossil organic remains found in it, there being very few remains of echini, star-fishes, worm-tubes, crab-claws, or polyzoa, which are common in the post- Tertiary clays, both on the east and west coasts of Scotland. The shells, with the exception of those that are young and friable, are fairly well preserved, and show no marks of rubbing or polishing, so far as I could discover. They are chiefly of shallow-water species ; some may have lived in from fifteen to twenty fathoms, but nearer the shore as well; and the great majority are undoubtedly of littoral species. With regard to the physical characteristics of the deposit, the follow- ing points seem worthy of notice:—(1) The fineness of the sand over- lying the shelly clay, and its freedom from stones or gravel; (2) the generally rounded and water-worn appearance of the stones in the clay, and the small proportion of sand accompanying them; and (3) the difference in appearance and composition between the sand in the shelly clay and that occurring both beneath and above it, and the fact of the different parts of the deposit—clay, sand, and. overlying boulder clay— being so sharply defined from each other. The question comes to be, Have the shells lived and died where they are found? After considering all the evidence that has come under my own observation I am strongly inclined to believe that they did liveand die where they are found. If we suppose that a transportation of the deposit has been effected by ice action, it is difficult to see how the stones could be so free from striation, or the sand overlying the shelly clay so fine and so free from stones (those found in it being not much larger than a pea), or how the different strata of the shelly clay, the sand, and overlying boulder clay could be laid down so sharply defined, the one over the other, if _crushed up to their present position by ice in any form.

Wotes on How Fish find Food, By GREGG WILSON, W.A., B.Sc. Tue object specially mentioned by the terms of the grant of 301. placed at the disposal of the Committee for the present year has been attained by reappointing Mr. Gamble to the use of a table to enable him to extend his observations on British Turbellaria. Mr. Allen has been reappointed to allow him to continue his researches on the development of Decapod Crustacea ; and Miss F'. Buchanan, whose observations made in 1891 as the result of a previous appointment by the Committee are re- corded in the Report for 1892 (p. 356), has been reappointed with the intention of studying the development of Magelona. The Committee have thus appointed— Mr. F. W. Gamble B.Sc., Owens College, Manchester, for one month, from August 8, 1893. Mr. Edgar J. Allen, B.Sc., University College, London, for two months, from June 1, 1893. Miss F. Buchanan, B.Se., University College, London, for one month, from September 1, 1893. The Committee have thus expended 15/. (taking into account the month which belongs to the Association free of charge), leaving an un- expended balance of 15/., which they trust will be placed at their disposal to allow them to carry on their work next year. They are naturally unable to furnish any account of results arrived at during the present year, but they are happy to be in a position to pre- sent the following reports on the work of the preceding year. These reports, taken in conjunction with the others which have been published in previous years, will serve to show that important results have been arrived at with the assistance of the grants made to this Committee. I. Report on the Occupation of the Table. The Turbellaria of Plymouth Sound. By Mr. F. W. Gaps, B.Sc. During August and September of 1892 I occupied the Association’s table, and was thus enabled to investigate the Turbellaria of Plymouth Sound and of its neighbourhood. Since, in contrast to the amount of research devoted to many of the other groups of animals composing our fauna, little attention has been hitherto bestowed on the Turbellaria, the results of my work show a marked increase in the number of species of this group occurring at Plymouth as compared with former records. More interesting than the numerical increase of the fauna are the re- lations of these newly-added forms to those inhabiting the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas on the one hand and the Scandinavian on the other. ‘ON THE LABORATORY OF THE MARINE BIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. 547 Of the twenty-five species not hitherto found on our coasts, but now known to live in Plymouth Sound, two—Vorticeros luteum and Cylindro- stoma merine—were already found by Hallez at Wimereux. The following eleven were previously known, through the researches of Oscar Schmidt, Uljanin, and von Graff, to occur in the southern seas of Europe (Promesostoma ovoideum was, however, already known to range to Greenland), Proporus venenosus (O. Sch.). Monoporus rubropunctatus (O. Sch.). Promesostoma ovoideum (O. Sch.). Promesostoma solea (O. Sch.). Mesostoma neapolitanum (?), v. Graff.! Hyporhynchus penicillatus (?) (O. Sch.). Plagiostoma Girardi (O. Sch.). Plagiostoma sagitta (Ulj.). Plagiostoma siphonophorum (?) (O. Sch.), Monoophorum striatum (v. Graff). Automolos ophiocephalus (O. Sch.). Eight were previously recorded by Jensen and Levinsen from the coasts of Norway and Greenland respectively, namely— Aphanostoma elegans, Jensen. Promesostoma agile (Lev.). Byrsophlebs Graffi, Jensen. Hyporhynchus armatus (Jensen). Plagiostoma dioicum (Metschnikoff). Plagiostoma caudatum, Lev. Cylindrostoma elongatum, Lev. Monotus albus, Ley. Four are new, namely— Provortex rubrobacillus. Plagiostoma pseudomaculatum, Plagiostoma elongatum. Automolos horridus. The results of my investigations on the Turbellarian fauna of Ply- ‘mouth and its distribution in the Sound have been published in greater detail in (1) the ‘Journal of the Marine Biological Association’ (N.S., vol. iii., No. 1, May, 1893); and (2) the ‘ Quarterly Journal of Micro- scopical Science,’ No. exxxvi., April, 1893, whereI have given an account of the British Marine Turbellaria, including descriptions and the synonymy of all species hitherto known to have occurred on our coasts. July 2, 1893. II. Report on the Occupation of the Table. By Mr. Evaar J. Auten, B.Sc. Commencing work at the Plymouth Laboratory on June 3, 1892, T occupied the table of the British Association for six weeks, my stay being prolonged for another month through the kindness of Mr. Robert Bayly, who furnished me with an additional nomination. 1 The bracketed query indicates that corroboration of the occurrence of these species is desirable. NN 2 548 REPORT—1893. During this period I was engaged on the study of certain points in the anatomy of larvee of Decapod Crustacea, more especially of Palemonetes varians. The principal results of the work are published in detail in two papers, which have appeared during the course of the year :— (1) Preliminary Account of the Nephridia and Body-cavity of the Larva of Palcemonetes varians, ‘Proc. Roy. Soe.,’ 1892. (2) Nephridia and Body-cavity of some Decapod Crustacea, ‘Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci.,’ xxxiv., 1893. The following is an outline of the conclusions arrived at. The green gland commences to develop a lumen about the time of hatching of the larva. The gland then consists of an end-sac and of a short tube which opens externally. The distal portion of this tube subsequently enlarges to form the bladder of the gland, the bladders of the two sides finally uniting in the middle dorsal line, thereby forming the unpaired nephro- peritoneal sac. In late embryos and in young larve a shell-gland is present, consist- ing of an end-sac and tube, and opening at the base of the second maxilla. A dorsal sac, completely enclosed by epithelium, is found in both larve and adults. This sac, which does not contain blood, lies dorsal to the nephro-peritoneal sac, and extends backwards over the front end of the genital glands. The cephalic aorta lies within this sac. The dorsal sac is formed as a hollowing out in masses of meso- derm cells, which lie upon either side of the aorta. Two lateral cavities are thus formed, which increase in size and unite below the aorta. From this mode of development it appears probable that the dorsal sac is homologous with the dorsal portions of the mesoblastic somites of Peripatus, and hence must be regarded as a true colom. The general body-cavity also seems to be homologous with that of Peripatus, and to be hemoccelic in nature. June 13, 1893. III. Report on the Occupation of the Table. Notes on How Fish find Food. By Grece Witson, M.A., B.Sc., Edin. For a month from August 15 of last year I occupied the table at the Plymouth Marine Station provided for me by the British Association, and during that time I devoted myself chiefly to the study of the feeding habits of fish. In connection with some work that I had done earlier in the year on the Aberdeenshire coast my attention had been called to the practical importance of Bateson’s distinction between sight-feeders and smell-feeders,! and I desired to repeat and test his experiments, and, if possible, extend his results. I find that his main conclusion is a sound one: there are sight-feeders and there are smell-feeders among the fish ; but the distinction is not absolute, and my observations do not in all cases correspond with Bateson’s. In a few notes I will summarise my conclusions. I. Sight-feeders.—I found no fish that did not use its smelling powers more or less in the search for food. Bateson’s instance of the pollack (Gadus pollachius), that usually hunts and feeds, relying entirely on 1 Journ. Marine Biol. Assoc., vol. i. (N.S.), 1889-90, p. 225. ‘ON THE LABORATORY OF THE MARINE BIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. 549 appearances, but which, when its hunger has heen appeased, noses its food before eating, is an illustration of, perhaps, the minimum: use of smell observed by me. Many other habitual sight-feeders make, or can make, much more extensive use of the nose. The well-known fact that stale bait appeals to few of our food-fishes points to this, and my experiments bear it ont. So far as I could determine, fish that are not very hungry habitually smell food before taking it. The pollack seems usually to be ready for a meal, and on almost all occasions when anything eatable is thrown into the tank in which it is swimming it rushes towards it, and bolts it. It does not hesitate to take stale food or food that has been steeped in strong smelling fluids; and time after time I have been amused to see its too-late repentance after it had swallowed clams that had been saturated with alcohol, chloroform, turpentine, &c. It is only when it is satiated with fresh food or disgusted with what is nauseous that it takes the precaution to smell before eating. On the other hand, various fish that are equally keen-sighted, and habitually recognise their food by the use of their eyes, are more prudent. The whiting (Gadus mer- langus), for instance, appears to pay much more attention to smell, and, as a rule, turns about and withdraws on approaching within a few inches of high-smelling objects that the pollack would take without hesitation. Even whiting, however, cease to be delicate if they are very hungry, and if other fish are present to compete for the food that is thrown to them. In such circumstances bait that is very distasteful may be taken by even the most cautious of sight-feeders; and likewise in such circumstances a quite smell-less artificial bait may be successfully employed. Where large shoals of fish are, there are likely to be many that are very hungry, and the consequent keen competition will lead to hasty feeding by sight alone ; and hence it is, probably, that lead-baits are successfully employed in cod- fishing in the Moray Firth and off the Northern Islands, while they are of no avail among the scanty fish further south. It may be said that in these cases the fish actually search for their food by sight alone, and merely test the quality of what they have found by smelling it; and Bateson quite recognised this. But more is possible: habitual sight-feeders can be induced to hunt by smell alone. The pollack, which is such a pronounced sight-feeder that it will take a hook baited with a white feather or a little bit of flannel and trolled along the sur- face, is yet able, when biinded, to get its food with great ease. Several blind specimens in the Plymouth tanks were carefully watched by me; and I had no difficulty in deciding that it was by smell alone that they found their food. Their conduct was exactly such as was seen in the smell-feeders, to which I shall presently refer. Again, the cod (Gadus morrhua), which Bateson puts among the sight- feeders, is generally believed—and with good reason, I think—to feed more by night than by day; which suggests that it, too, not only tests its food, but actually hunts by smell. Lastly, in this connection I would state the results of my experiments. I worked with a number of fish, and always with the same success; but I shall here only refer to one case—that of the dabs (Plewronectes limanda). That they were sight-feeders was evidenced by their behaviour when I lowered a closed tube full of water, and with a worm in the middle of it, into their tank: time after time they bumped their noses against the glass at the very spot where the worm was situated. That they could 550 REPORT—1893. also recognise the smell of food, apart from seeing it, was demonstrated in various ways. First, if instead of a closed tube, as in the last-men- tioned experiment, one open at the bottom was used, after a short interval the nosing at the part where the worm was seen ceased, and the lower end of the tube, from which, doubtless, worm-juice was diffusing, was. vigorously nosed. If, again, instead of putting worms into a tube I placed a number of them in a closed wooden box with minute apertures to let water pass in and out, there was a similar excitement produced, and the dabs hunted eagerly in every direction. When water in which many worms had lain for some time was simply poured into the tank through a tube that had been in position for several days, and by a person who was out of sight of the dabs, the results were most marked. Ina few seconds hunting began, and in their excitement the dabs frequently leapt out of the water, apparently at air-bubbles, ard on one occasion one even cleared the side of the tank, which was about two inches above the water, and fell on to the floor of the aquarium. Yet there was nothing visible to stimulate this quest. II. Smell-feeders—In the case of the smell-feeders I was also led to doubt the exclusive dedication of the one sense to the task of food- finding. Congers (Conger vulgaris) certainly do all that Bateson’s paper says of them: they hunt by night; they do not go at once or direct to food that is near them, but after it has been in their neighbourhood for a short time grope around for it, till they gradually approach so near that. they touch it; and then they snap at it greedily. They cannot find food that has been washed in ordinary salt-water so as to remove the smell ; they hunt when good-smelling fluids are poured into their tank ; and they swallow corks or even stones that are suitably flavoured. But I came to the conclusion that the congers in Plymouth Aquarium—and I have no reason for supposing them to be different from other congers—were practically blind. I have seen two when hunting come into direct colli- sion with such violence as to produce a loud thud; and once I saw one start back in alarm on coming in contact with a crab that was in its way. I have seen one lose its prey, and then hunt for it again in the same indirect way as at first, though it certainly had discovered that the fish was a thing good to eat. Often, too, a conger when close to its food makes a snap in the wrong direction: it is when it touches that it snaps successfully. So the sense of sight cannot be very good! There is, however, at least a perception of the difference between light and darkness ; and a conger will retreat from a lighted match even by day, and at night will seek shelter when a lantern is exposed. Unfortunately, though there were plenty of congers in the tanks while I was at Plymouth, other smell-feeders were not well represented. The rockling and sole, however, were available, and I repeatedly made experiments with them. The rockling (Motella tricirrata) seems to be a. true smell-feeder: it ‘hunts’ by night ; it becomes highly excited when an extract of any of its favourite foods is poured into the water in which it is. Unlike the conger, however, it sees very well, as Bateson himself pointed out. And, more than that, it can find its food by sight, though for some reason—perhaps because of the timidity of the fish—this is difficult to observe. Several times I saw appearances that almost demonstrated the fact, and on one occasion the behaviour of a rockling left no room for further doubt. For ten days it had had almost no food, and when, at the end of that time, worms were thrown into its tank, it quite plainly ON THE LABORATORY OF THE MARINE BIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. 551 saw them, and recognised them as food; for it rushed at them and took them while they were still falling through the water. When a number of worms were subsequently put in at once, the rockling swam two or three times rapidly round the tank, taking all that were within reach. As I wrote in my note-book at the time, this is ‘clear proof of use of sight.’ As regards soles (Solea vulgaris) I got evidence more easily. They see well, and will come forward from far back in a tank when a hand- kerchief is waved before the glass. I have seen them gather at once from all parts of a large tank to feed on worms that were thrown to them; I have seen them rise to take worms that were falling through the water, or to seize without groping or hesitation prawns that were swimming about the tank. So 1 have no difficulty in deciding that they, too, use sight as well as smell in seeking their food. I confess I cannot understand why Bateson’s soles should have failed to find worms that were suspended a little above the bottom. Perhaps they were more nervous than those I had to deal with; or mine may have been educated by the experience of the intervening years ! The Committee desire to conclude their report by expressing the hope that the Association will place in their hands, for use during the ensuing year, the unexpended balance of 15/. They believe that competent workers have been materially assisted by being appointed to the free use of a table at the Plymouth Laboratory, while they feel that the latter institution deserves the further support of the British Association. The Physiological Action of the Inhalation of Oxygen in Asphyxia, more especially im Coal Mines.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor J. G. McKennricr, F.R.S. (Chairman), Dr. J. T. BortroMLey, F.R.S., and Mr. W. Ernest F. THomson, M.A., M.D. (Secretary). (Drawn up by the Secretary.) Tuis Committee was appointed, at the Meeting in Edinburgh, 1892, of the British Association, in order to ascertain, primarily, whether oxygen gas is of any service as a restorative in carbonic-acid poisoning, such as occurs in the form of choke-damp asphyxia in mines. Secondarily, it was considered advisable by the Committee to inquire somewhat into the action of oxygen; first on persons in health, and secondly on those suffering from disease giving rise to retention of carbonic acid in the blood. The Committee, however, do not attach very great importance to their observations of the latter class. The Committee consisted of Professor McKendrick, Chairman; Dr. J. T. Bottomley, and Dr. W. Ernest F. Thomson, Secretary, by whom the work was carried out, and who has prepared the report. The general conclusions at which the Committee have arrived are based upon a considerable number of experiments on animals, and some observations on human beings. The following are the general conclusions :— I. In the case of rabbits asphyxiated slowly or rapidly, oxygen is of 552 REPORT—1893. no greater service than air, whether the recovery be brought about in an atmosphere contaminated by carbonic acid or completely free of carbonic acid, and whether artificial respiration be resorted to in addition or not. II. Pure oxygen, when inhaled by a healthy man for five minutes, produces no appreciable effect either on the respiratory rate and volume or on the pulse rate and volume. III. Oxygen, whether pure or somewhat diluted, produced no effect on one particular patient, who suffered from cardiac dyspnea of moderately severe type, in the direction of amelioration of the dyspnoea; and com- pared with air inhaled under the same conditions produced no appreciable effect, either on the respiratory rate and volume or on the pulse rate and volume. IV. An animal may be placed in a chamber, the general cavity of which contains about 50 per cent. of carbonic acid, and retained there for a long time without supervention of muscular collapse, provided a gentle stream of a respirable gas-air or oxygen indifferently be allowed to play upon the nostrils and agitate the surrounding atmosphere. The points which are not proved are—Ilst. Whether oxygen produces marked effects, toxic or otherwise, when inhaled for a long time; 2nd. Whether oxygen is of service in cases of cyanosis due to diminished respiratory surface, e.g.,in pneumonia; 3rd. Whether oxygen is capable of bringing about the cure of many diseases in which it has received the credit of being a remedial agent. Finally, since this investigation was primarily undertaken in the interests of the mining community, the Committee are strongly inclined to urge that advantage be taken of the fact, now ascertained, that oxygen is of no greater service than pure air in cases of asphyxia, and that the experiment be made of keeping a few cylinders of air, with nose and mouth pieces, ready for use in those parts of the workings where men might be most easily imprisoned. The expense of the compressed air would be much less than that of oxygen, and the effect would be equally good. It seems quite reasonable to suppose that when a suffocated person has to be dragged through a long passage, itself more or less contaminated as regards its atmosphere, the chances of ultimate recovery will be greater if the effects of this poisonous atmosphere be neutralised at the commencement and during the progress of the work of rescue than if no such attempt be made until fresh air be reached in the ordinary way. The Legislative Protection of Wild Birds’ Eggs.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Mr. THomas Henry Tuomas, R&.C.A. (Chairman), Rev. Canon Tristram, D.D., LL.D., F.RS., Pro- fessor ALFRED Newton, F'.R.S., Professor ADOLPH LEIPNER, F’.Z.8., Professor NEwTon Parker, Ph.D., F.Z.S., and Dr. CHARLES TaNn- FIELD VACHELL (Secretary). (Drawn up by the Secretary.) Your Committee beg leave to report that early in the present session ‘A Bill to Amend the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1880,’ was brought into the House of Commons by Sir Henry Maxwell, M.P., and others, and that on April 13 it was ordered by the House to be printed. Thereupon your Committee gave this Bill their careful attention, and ON THE PROTECTION OF WILD BIRDS’ EGGS. 553 found that its main clause contained a provision for the protection of wild birds’ eggs. In the opinion of your Committee, however, this pro- vision was framed on a principle that appears to them to be mistaken, in that it sought to effect the desired object by empowering local autho- rities to name the species the eggs of which were to be protected, thus requiring in every case of prosecution proof of identity, which in the majority of cases would be difficult, if not impossible, to supply. Never- theless, the bill met with favourable acceptance in the House of Commons, and with some very trifling alterations only, and without any discussion of its principle, passed the third reading, and was sent up to the House of Lords on May 2. In the House of Lords the chief objection to the Bill, which had already been observed by your Committee, was, among others, prominently brought forward by several speeches in a debate on the second reading, June 14, and accordingly a series of amendments were introduced and carried when the Bill was in committee, on June 16. In almost every point these amendments, and especially one which pro- vided that protection should be given to birds which most required it by empowering local authorities to name areas in which for a given time the taking of eggs should be wholly prohibited, accorded with the opinion at which your Committee had previously arrived. Subsequently, the Bill was further amended by the Standing Committee of the House of Lords, and, having been read a third time, was sent back to the House of Commons for its approval of their Lordships’ amendments. These your Committee, after duly considering them, had hoped would be at once accepted by the House of Commons; but, on August 21, on the motion of Sir H. Maxwell, it was moved that consideration of them should be adjourned for three months, and therefore the fate of the Bill remains doubtful. In view of the uncertainty thus existing your Committee would recommend their reappointment on the same terms as before. Indexa Generum et Specierum Animalium.—Report of the Com- mittee, consisting of Sir W. H. Fiower, Dr. P. L. Sciater, Dr. H. WoopwarD, and Mr. G. Brook (Secretary), for super- vising its compilation by Mr. C. Davies SHERBORN. Tuts index, commenced in 1890, was continued by the compiler un- assisted until 1892, when the British Association made a grant of 20/. in aid of the work. The compilation continues to progress satisfactorily, about 200 volumes having been searched through, and over 10,000 species having been indexed during the past year. The work is extremely laborious, chiefly by reason of the difficulty in many cases of determining the exact date of publication of the book under examination; but the results of the solution of difficult problems of this kind are invariably made public so soon as their accuracy has been satisfactorily proved. Of these results the publication of the dates of Schreber’s ‘ Siugthiere ’ by the Zoological Society of London in their ‘Proceedings’ for 1891 may be cited. Of the books examined this year the accurate determination of the dates of the ‘ Encyclopédie Méthodique’ is, perhaps, the most important 554 REPORT—1893, result attained. These dates will also be published in the Zoological Society’s ‘ Proceedings.’ The plan of work adopted by the compiler has been favourably com- mented upon, among foreign specialists, by Professor J. Victor Carus, Professor Sven Loven, and Mr. 8. H. Scuddd. The Committee ask for their reappointment, with a grant of 30/. in aid of the continuance of this most useful compilation. Scottish Place-names.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Sir C. W. Witson, F.R.S. (Chairman), Dr. J. Buraess (Secre- tary), and Mr. Courts Trorrer. (Drawn up by the Secretary.) Tus Committee have to report that at their suggestion a Place-names Committee of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society was appointed to consider the orthography of the Place-names on the survey maps of Scotland, and specially to revise the spellings in the Gaelic-speaking districts of the country. This committee, which had power to add to their number, con- sisted of Professor James Geikie, LL.D., F.R.S., Sheriff Aineas Mackay, LL.D., Professor Julius Eggeling, Ph.D., Mr. A. Silva White, Secretary, R. Scot. Geog. Soc. ; and James Burgess, LL.D., Chairman. It met on November 20, 1891, and arranged the forms to be used in collecting information, agreed to appoint local committees in each parish, and to make additions to the committee of gentlemen specially qualified to aid in the work. After correspondence there were subsequently added to the Committee the following gentlemen :—Rey. Dr. Masson, M.D., Ex-Sheriff Alex. Nicolson, LL.D., W. J. N. Liddall, Esq., Advocate, Sheriff D. Mac- kechnie, Dr. D. Christison, Professor Blackburn, Hew Morrison, Ksq., J. M. Rusk, S.S.C., W. C. Smith, Esq., Advocate, Dr. Bannerman. The Committee were of opinion that, whilst names referred to them by the Ordnance Survey from Lowland districts might be satisfactorily dealt with by correspondence, personal knowledge, and references to records, it would be desirable to proceed otherwise with the great mass of Gaelic names in Highland districts, and for these it was decided that it would be necessary to prepare lists of all the names in each parish, and to submit them, in the first place, to local or parish committees appointed for the purpose of pointing out and correcting all supposed errors in spelling. The local arrangement of names in the survey books greatly facilitated the identification of the spots intended ; and the Chairman was. empowered to correspond with ministers and local gentlemen to form such committees. The islands of Islay and Jura were then undertaken, and the following instructions were issued to the local committees :— DIRECTIONS. ‘(1) The Place-names to be revised are written out under Column I. Against those correctly spelt a x should be affixed in Column II. Cor- respondents will distinguish names of Norse or English origin by adding the initial letter N or E to the x under Column II. ON SCOTTISH PLACE-NAMES. 555: *(2) Those names which are incorrectly spelt should be rewritten, in a clear legible hand, on the same line under Column III. Such corrections should be attested by at least three local authorities in Column IV. ‘(3) In those instances where there are alternative forms of spelling the same name, the alternative form or forms should be given under Column III., and attested in the usual way in Column IV. ‘(4) Names of Norwegian origin are prevalent, more especially in. Arran, Jura, Islay, Morvern, Skye, the Outer Hebrides, &c. The utmost care should be taken to discriminate all such names, and to give under Column III. their proper spellings, with or without the Gaelic spellings that may be in use for the same—to be attested in Column IV. Names of Norse and English origin have the generic element after the specific, , as in Oak-field, Helms-dale, Lidi-strom ; whereas Gaelic names almost always have the generic jirst, as Auchindarrock, Glen-shee, Inch-keith. *(5) Special information by correspondents can be communicated on separate sheets of paper.’ The first lists were for Kilchoman parish, containing about 970 names, and were undertaken by a local committee, consisting of Rev. J. Barnet, Mr. Wm. Campbell, Mr. Donald McGilp, Mr. John Campbell, Kev. James Macmillan, Mr. Neil Orr, Portnahaven; and Mr. John Brown. These gentlemen did their work with much care and attention, and returned the revised list by June, 1892. The Committee then held. frequent meetings in examination of the revised names, and approved of the great majority of the changes proposed. Meanwhile, the lists for Killarow and Kilmeny, Kildalton and Oa, and for Jura, had been issued. The Killarow and Kilmeny list contained about 940 Place-names, and was undertaken by a local committee, consisting of Rev. John Mclachlan, Kilmeny; Rev. Peter Stewart,. Killarow ; Mr. W. McFadyen, Ballygrant; Mr. P. Macintyre; Rev. P. Mclver, Bowmore ; Mr. Murdoch McTaggart, solicitor ; and Mr. D. Mac- bean, Public School, Bowmore. The returns from this parish were discussed by the Committee at meetings held in November and December, 1892. The list for Jura has not yet been returned. That for Kildalton and Oa contained over 1,200 names, and the local committee were Rev. Wm. Campbell, Mr. Colin Hay, Mr. Lachlan McCuaig, Rev. D. McMaster,. Mrs. Ramsay, and Mr. Colin Campbell. This list occupied the Com- mittee at a series of meetings, and was disposed of during the early half of the present year. From the officers of the Ordnance Survey were also submitted, from time to time, for the opinion of the Committee, local Place-names, such as Auchendinny or Auchindinny; Glencorse or Glencross; Roslin, Roslyn, or Roslyne; Machars or Machers; Rinns or Rhynns; Garwald and Bara or Garwald; St. Monance or St. Monans. In deciding on the spellings of these and such names the Committee were guided largely (1) by what has been the prevalent spelling in deeds and records of every kind up till a recent date, when names have fre- quently been altered in spelling in an unaccountable way, possibly through the influence of non-residents, railway and post-office officials, newspaper writers, &c. For postal and other common purposes, it may be quite sufficient to indicate a parish by the single name of ‘Garwald’ ;. but the Ordnance map may be regarded and used as legal evidence, and 556 REPORT—1893. in united parishes the inhabitants of the portions which formerly were separate parishes may each have burial and other rights of which the double name—Garwald and Bara—is primd facie evidence, and for this and for historical reasons the Committee considered that the full name ought in all such cases to be preserved. (2) Where more spellings of a name than one have been long preva- lent, and about equally so, it may be allowed, especially where local feeling is in favour of it, to adopt that one which is nearer the older or original form. If the people in Wigtownshire prefer ‘Machars’ to ‘Machers,’ the Committee could only approve of such a spelling. (38) On the other hand, they could not attempt to enforce in a case like that of ‘Newbattle’ (which is well known to be a misnomer) a reversion to a better form unless it were to be acceptable to the proprietor. (4) The Committee, however, would strongly object to all new and fanciful spellings having no authority in the records of the last three centuries. Some such have crept into our best maps, and have been copied into popular gazetteers, almanacs, and the like: these have seldom any authority, and misrepresent the historical Place-names. In Gaelic names the Committee had to deal with different cireum- stances. A large class of these had never appeared in any record; they were so distinctly descriptive of the places that a person understanding Gaelic could make no mistake about their meaning, and the only question was the correct writing down of the name. Gaelic spelling, as well as pronunciation, differs in districts lying apart : the enunciation and spell- ing of a Ross-shire man will often differ from those of a native of Argyll or Arran. There are also refinements of spelling that good scholars do not consider necessary in Place-names. It has, therefore, been the aim of the Committee not to give prominence to such refinements, but to deal with the names on broad principles. This course the late Sheriff Nicolson, who attended the Committee’s meetings very regularly, and with the weight of his extensive scholarship and local knowledge, was ever ready to support. His death during the early part of this year has been a serious loss to the Committee. In such of the Highland names as occur in valuation rolls and other records there appear to be fully a larger proportion of variants than in the same class of names in Lowland districts, and there was consequently more scope for choice, but also more frequent calls for deliberation and investigation. This made the work more arduous and troublesome, and seemed to demand the services of a person qualified to collect the various forms with the authorities for them to be weighed by the Committee ; for it is just this class of names that require the most careful con- sideration. The result of the examination of over 3,100 names in Islay has been the revision or correction of about 520, or 16 per cent., of them, varying from about 11 per cent. in Kiilarow to nearly double that proportion in Kildalton. The grant of 107. made in 1892 was too small a sum to enable the ‘Committee to engage any needed help, and was kept for stationery, postage, necessary printing, and to procure a good Gaelic dictionary. ON ANCIENT REMAINS IN ABYSSINIA. 557 Exploration of Ancient Remains in Abyssinia.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Dr. J. G. Garson (Chavrman), Mr. J. THEODORE Bent (Secretary), Mr. F. W. Rupter, Mr. E. W. Brasrookr, and Mr. G. W. Buoxam. (Drawn up by Mr. BENT.) AppENnDIx.—On the Morphological Oharacters of the Abyssinians. By Dr. J. G. Garson. Tue Committee have received the following report from Mr. Bent :— The four months which I was able to passin Abyssinia at the beginning of this year have been very productive in ethnographical research. We were able to visit the sites of ruins at a spot called Yeha and at Aksum, the ancient capital of this part of Hthiopia, and when there to take a large number of photographs and impressions of inscriptions which throw a flood of light on the origin of the Ethiopian race and language, and leave no shadow of a doubt that both are derived in the first instance from an ancient Arabian stock, namely, early Sabeean traders, who built them- selves fortresses and temples in the Abyssinian mountains, and left there traces of their writing and their art as far back as the eighth century B.c. About five hours’ ride from Adoua, in a north-easterly direction, we visited the village of Yeha, where is a very ancient temple preserved to us by the fact that it has been a religious centre in Abyssinia, and has thus been protected from the depredations of marauders. The building is a very fine specimen of ancient art, built with large ‘drafted’ stones, and crowning a knoll which commands the surrounding village and plain, hemmed in on all sides by stupendous mountains. Here, too, we found nine Himyaritic inscriptions, which Professor D. H. Miiller, of Vienna, has deciphered, and which date back to the eighth century B.c. One of these gives the name of the place as Ava, and besides this we have two references to this place Ava—one given us by Nonnosus, who went as ambassador from Justinian to the king of Abyssinia in 540 a.p., and another from the Adulitan inscription, probably about the first century of ourera. Both these agree in placing this town of Ava on the ancient trade route between Adulis and Aksum, and consequently there is no doubt whatsoever that the ruins of Yeha originally formed the town of Ava, and that it was a Saban colony from Arabia which settled here for the purposes of trade at a very remote period. Professor Miller connects this temple of Ava with the worship of Baal Ava, common at that period in Southern Arabia; and the nature of the building, the monoliths adjoining it, the altar, and other facts too numerous here to mention obviously connect this ruin with early Saban sun-worship; and from its strength, decoration, and position we can clearly see what a strong foothold the merchants of Arabia had gained in Abyssinia many centuries before the commencement of our era. The neighbourhood of Yeha is very fertile, and this fertility was accounted for by the in- habitants from the fact that in the mountains behind they possess caves in which they can store their goods out of the way of marauders, and hence the valley of Yeha is one of the most prosperous and fertile in Abyssinia. It is a curious fact that Ava was probably the capital of this district, known to the earliest geographers as Ethiopia Troglodytica, or that part of Ethiopia where the inhabitants dwelt in caves; it is just 558 REPORT— 1893. possible that these very caves above Yeha may have been the origin of the term. Aksum is about forty miles inland from Yeha, and after the destruction of Ava was for many centuries the capital of the Aksumite kings, and ‘subsequently of the emperors of Abyssinia. In subsequent years Aksum was abandoned as the political centre of the country, and gave place to ‘Gondar, and now to Ankoba in Shoa; but it has always remained as the religious capital of Abyssinia, the sacred city of the Ethiopians. Owing to the disturbed state of the country we were only able to spend ten days there, instead of two months, as we had originally intended; but in those ten days we were able to amass a large quantity of valuable archeological material; to take squeezes of the various early Ethiopian inscriptions, some of which had only been indifferently copied before, and others are new to science; to take photographs of the various ruins still standing ; and to make a few excursions in the neighbourhood. I can only give here the actual results of our work, and say what the objects we found definitely prove: First, the long line of monoliths form an excessively interesting study in rude stone monuments. We have at Aksum the monolith in all its several stages of development, from the rudest unhewn stone stuck in the ground like those at Yeha; then we have one with notches on it, another divided into storeys with beams carved thereon ; and finally the highly finished monolith, with an altar at its base, a door carved above this, and nine storeys represented on the stone with imitation windows, and divided from one another by beams which are also cut in the stone: these nine storeys culminate in a repre- sentation of the heavenly luminary, and point to what the worship was which originated them, namely, the old Sabean sun-worship ; and these decorated monoliths represent the Bethel, or house of God, in its most finished conception. The altars below are of very finished work, and were made to fit tightly on to the monolith: one is surrounded with a well- known Himyaritic pattern, and has holes in the centre for the reception of the blood of the slaughtered victims; another has steps in it and receptacles for the blood, carved in the representation of Greek vases, with channels cut for the blood to run down each of the steps on to the ground. There is no doubt about it that at Aksum existed a form of Mithraic worship which came from Southern Arabia, and was introduced by the Himyarite merchants, who traded with the interior for ivory, gold, and other rare produce valued in the ancient market. There are about seventy of these monoliths in and around Aksum, some elaborately worked, others mere unhewn stones. Two of the largest, decorated like the one above described, with an imitation door and storeys, are fallen and broken into colossal fragments : they are both con- siderably larger than the standing one, and must have been very imposing objects when erect. Another monolith, 27 feet high, and presumably of later date, shows a curious Greco-Egyptian influence in its decoration : it had a representation of a Greek tomb or temple in antis at the top, supported by an Jonic column made in the form of a lotus, with the two little ivy leaves on either side so characteristic of Greek art in the first centuries before and after Christ. This Greek influence at Aksum is especially remarkable, and may be easily accounted for by the Greek influence and enterprise which were felt in the Red Sea after the conquests of the Ptolemies and the opening out of commerce. Adulis was the port of this commerce, and Aksum seems to have been the capital of the ON ANCIENT REMAINS IN ABYSSINIA. 559 district to which the tribes from the interior brought their commodities. Greek architecture and art are therefore easily accounted for at Aksum. It is a thoroughly Greek idea to decorate the unsightly unhewn rude stone monuments, and, curiously enough, the realistic idea of carving doors, windows, beams, and storeys is traceable to Greek art in Lycia, Caria, and the southern provinces of Asia Minor. Then we have the altars with Greek vases carved thereon; tombs with the dromos and chambers for sarcophagi constructed of huge stones just like those found in Greece. Rock-cut steps cover the hills behind Aksum, just as they do in Greek cities ; rock-cut tombs and fragments of architecture recall at many points remains in an old Greek site. Early geographers tell us of this influence, and that the kings of Aksum spoke and studied Greek ; and then finally we have the bilingual inscription in which King Aizanes of Aksum records his victories on one side in Greek and on the other in early Ethiopian in the fourth century of our era. One can thus readily under- stand how the way was thus opened in Ethiopia for the Christian missionaries from Alexandria, and that Ethiopia was one of the first affiliated branches of the early Christian Church. The inscriptions which we brought from Aksum are of a later date than those of Yeha, but show at the same time the Himyaritic script generally developing into early Ethiopian, and form a very valuable series from this point of view, incontestably proving the origin of Ethi- opian, and that it is a survival to us of the early form of speech and writing which was found in the early Sabean and Himyaritic empire in Southern Arabia. Professor D. H. Miller has been hard at work for some weeks past on these inscriptions and has developed much material of value. Two of the inscriptions are quite new to science, and the others are read cor- rectly for the first time, having previously been copied by travellers ignorant of the complicated script; but our impressions have now enabled Professor Miller to produce a correct rendering of them as they stand. Some of the principal points of value which have resulted from this study are, first, definite proof of the origin of the Ethiopian language, and that it is a development or rather a dialect of Himyaritic. Secondly, that the Kthiopians were pagans at least down to the fourth century _ after Christ, worshipping the same gods as the early Arabians, and thus the Ethiopian legend that they belonged to the Jewish religion from the time of Menelek, the supposed son of Solomon by the Queen of Sheba, is absolutely without foundation, and is probably a fantastic story in- vented by the early Christians of Ethiopia, which, whilst it acknowledges their Arabian origin, at the same time identifies them with the chosen people of God. The grounds for this story, which have had weight even with observers of modern times, are the existence of certain forms and ceremonies akin to Judaism amongst the Ethiopians, which they owe doubtless to their common Semitic origin. Another point made clear by the inscriptions is the origin of certain curious pedestals, which appa- rently in former years carried metal statues, and of which there are between twenty and thirty at Aksum. It appears from the inscriptions that the kings of Aksum after a victory set up a throne in honour of it, which they placed under the protection of their three gods, Astar, Medr, and Barrats. Some were decorated with statues, others were plain, and near them was stuck up the dedicatory stone; and lastly Professor Miller proves that the Ethiopians called their country Habaset long before the 560 REPORT—1893. modern Arabians called it Habesh, which was supposed to be given it owing to the mixture of the race. Hence the derivation of the name Abyssinia is thus: Sabean name Habaset, Arabian Habesh, which the Portuguese gave to the world as Abessini when speaking of the in- habitants, which we finally have made into Abyssinia. After visiting Aksum we went to the site of another set of ruins on a lofty isolated plateau, now known by the Italians as the Altapiana di Kohaito; here we found the remains of a very extensive town with a curious lake in the centre of it, the waters of which were preserved in an artificial reservoir by a wall or dam built of huge stones without cement, and obviously of a very ancient date. This well was 219 feet across, and the centre part, 99 feet long, was built very strongly with ‘throughs’ and steps to withstand the force of the water. On either side of this stronger portion of the dam were two sluice gates, 5 feet wide, and the construction of this wall corresponds in many ways to the wall or dam at Mareb, the ancient Mariaba, or capital of the Sabean kingdom in Southern Arabia. This is the chief feature of interest amongst the ruins. Around the lake are the scattered remains of many buildings, temples, houses, and so forth; the columns and capitals of the temples are interesting as connecting the style of architecture exactly with that in use at Adulis, the port of this part of Ethiopia. The columns are square with a groove cut at each angle, and the capitals are also square in three tiers. This ancient town, long since abandoned, is easily to be identified with the Koloe of the early geographers ; in fact, the locality as placed by the Periplus of the Red Sea, namely, three days from Adulis and five from Aksum, is exactly where it should be, and probably it was a summer resort of the rich merchants of Adulis: it is situated at an elevation of 7,000 feet above the sea, and enjoys a most salubrious climate. The plateau is curiously isolated from the surrounding mountains, and the approaches to it are now exceedingly difficult ; but there are ample traces of ancient roadways and sustaining walls long ago ruined. Immediately in the valley below, just on the ancient trade road between Adulis and Aksum, there are the ruins of another village with a few columns of a temple still standing of precisely the same form of architecture as that at Koloe and Adulis, and this village would appear to have been a halting place for the caravans on their way into the interior at the foot of the hill on which Koloe was built. These are amongst the most prominent points of the archeological discoveries we made in Abyssinia, which I hope shortly to develop at greater length with the collaboration of Professor D. H. Miiller. With regard to the anthropology of the Abyssinians of to-day our results were naturally considerably hampered by not knowing the language, and having to obtain our information second hand from an interpreter. However, I think we have been able to arrive at several points of interest, more especially in connection with the quaint and interesting form of Christianity which is the national religion of the country. In the first place the Christianity of Abyssinia is obviously one grafted on a form of paganism closely akin to sun-worship. As we find in Greece innumerable instances of the way the early divines grafted Christianity on to the existing paganism of Greece and Rome, blending the saints and customs of Christianity with the gods and rites of the old ON ANCIENT REMAINS IN ABYSSINIA. 561 pagan religion, so we find in Abyssinia obvious traces of sun-worship as the pecnliar form of religion which had to give way to Christianity. In the first place all the churches are round, with four doors oriented to the four points of the compass. They are all surrounded by an outer enclosure, which is thickly planted with trees, and corresponds to the sacred groves so associated in our minds with Baal-worship. During the Lenten fasts the services are always conducted at night, and cease immediately at sunrise; the peculiar ritual of dancing without which no service in Abyssinia is complete—dancing to the tune of an instrument exactly corresponding to the sistrwm of ancient Egyptian days—is a trace of the dancing which formed an integral part of Baal- worship. The great Abyssinian Church ceremony of Mascal, or the raising of the Cross, which takes place in September, is accompanied by the lighting of bonfires at night on all the neighbouring heights and the sacrifice of oxen and other animals. The second great Church ceremony is the blessing of the waters at Epiphany and the baptizing of the Cross, thus honouring water as the next great element after the sun in the process of natural generation. As a curious side proof of this theory may be mentioned an illustration given in an Ethiopian catechism as an illustration of the mystery of the Trinity. ‘The Godhead is like the sun, consisting of three parts joined in one and indivisible, namely, rotundity, light, and heat.’ The points in the Abyssinian ritual which have favoured the suppo- sition that they belonged to Judaism before Christianity was preached amongst them are these: The construction of their churches with an outer circle, corresponding to the court of the Gentiles; an inner circle, to the court of the Levites ; and the Holy of Holies, where the Ark and the tables of the law are supposed to be kept, with its veil hanging before it. Secondly, the abstention from eating the same unclean animals which the Jews abstain from. Thirdly, the practice of circumcision. Fourthly, their calendars and feasts curiously correspond. I take it that the first and last are purely accidental, and that the third and fourth are common to all Semitic races; and certainly the inscriptions from Aksum exclude all possibility of Judaism having existed in the country as the national religion prior to Christianity. Another feature which we noticed particularly with regard to the Abyssinian Church is its strict adherence to the orthodox or Greek ritual, and the antagonism which reigns still, and always has reigned, against the tenets of Rome and Western Christianity. As in Greece, the priest- hood is divided into monastic priests and working or village priests. The dignities of the Church are reserved for the former: they never marry, and live their useless lives on the top of isolated mountains. The village priest, who performs the services of the Church, may marry before he is ordained, and not after—just like the Greek priests—and he never can aspire to any of the more lucrative positions in the Church. The pictures of the Abyssinian Church are distinctly Byzantine in character, exceedingly grotesque, but offering points of comparison to the work done on Mount Athos. Their legends, superstitions, and quaint beliefs all correspond to those of the Kastern Church; and naturally this is to be expected, as the Abyssinian Church is an affiliated Church of the Alex- andrian patriarchate, and is governed by an abouna sent out from the Coptic Church of Cairo. But it shows in a remarkable manner the 1893. 00 562 REPORT—1893. tenacity with which the customs and ritual of early Christianity have been maintained, and the absolute failure of the Portuguese Jesuits to bring Abyssinia under the dominion of the Pope is aptly parallelled by the absolute failure of the Roman Catholics to obtain a foothold in Greece, and bring about a union of the Eastern and Western Churches. Nearly everything one comes across in Abyssinia has an interesting pedigree from the old world. The shamma, or cloak, they wear is neither more nor less than the old Roman toga: it is worn in precisely the ancient manner, with the right hand buried in the folds and the end thrown over the shoulder. The musical instruments they play are similar. The long trumpet played at games and festivals was well known in the ancient world as the tuba. The sistrum, or rattle, I have already alluded to. The Abyssinian harp is exactly like its old classical prototype, the lyra. We still find the rounded sounding-board, made in the form of a tortoise- shell, the ancient testudo of the lyre: out of this come the two cornua, and the strings are not touched with the fingers, but with plectra. The fly-flap used by the priests is exactly like the fly-flaps depicted on the Egyptian tombs. Children up to the age of puberty wear bulle, just as Roman children did. Every Abyssinian has his thorn-extractor, made of pliable metal, like the volselle of Roman times. The popular Abyssinian game, played on a sort of board with holes, something akin to draughts, is commonly found wherever Arabian influence has been felt all over the coast line of the East, in Asia and Africa alike. The umbrella, and the dignity attached thereto, is distinctly old world. The sacred arcana are always carried under gorgeously decorated umbrellas; only a prince may wear a red one, grandees wear white ones, and peasants go to market with umbrellas made of straw. There is hardly anything in Abyssinia which is not a well-authenticated relic of a bygone civilisation, as the few instances which I have given here will show. We took the measurement of some fifty Abyssinians, according to the rules and regulations set down by the Anthropological Institute. These measurements have been placed in the hands of Dr. Garson, who has undertaken to work them ont. T hope in the ensuing winter to visit Southern Arabia, with a view to following up the same line of study, both archeological and anthropo- logical. I feel confident that if Southern Arabia be submitted to a careful examination we shall there find traces of an exceedingly primitive civili- sation; traces of an empire which existed many centuries before our era, which spread down the east coast of Africa south of the Zambesi, and constructed the ruined buildings visited by us last year in Mashonaland, and which, as Professor Miller shows, are built on exactly the same principle as those of Mareb and Sirwah in Southern Arabia, and were probably used for the same form of religion. This year we have found traces of an Arabian occupation of Arabia as far back as the eighth century before our era in the mountains of Abyssinia. As discovery follows discovery I am sure we shall be able to reconstruct the history of a once mighty commercial race, which was contemporaneous with the best days of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and which provided the ancient world with most of its most valued luxuries. ON ANCIENT REMAINS IN ABYSSINIA. 563 APPENDIX. On the Morphological Characters of the Abyssinions. By J. G. Garson, M.D., V.P., Anthrop. Inst., Oorresp. Memb. Anthrop. Soc. Paris and Berlin. The data for this paper are a series of observations made by Mr. J. Theodore Bent during his expedition to Abyssinia on 46 male natives between the ages of twenty and forty years, 22 of whom belong to the Tigré tribe, 12 to the Amhara tribe, 4 to the Hamasan tribe, 1 to the Bogos tribe, 6 to the Galla tribe, and 1 to the Barea tribe. The first four tribes are members of the Himyaritic group of Semites, the Gallas are Hamites, and the Barea are one of the unclassified tribes. The colour of the skin of the Himyaritic tribes is generally a rich chocolate, but sometimes cases of a dark yellow-brown or dark-olive hue oceur. The Gallas are generally darker, being usually of a sooty-biack colour ; the Barea is also sooty-black. The eyes are dark, and a vestige of a freenum occurs in many cases at the inner angle of the eye. The hair is black and curly. The profile of the nose is uniformly straight. Pro- gnathism of the mouth is generally very slight or entirely absent, except in the Gallas, where it is more marked than in the others. The lips are of medium thickness, but are somewhat thicker in the Gallas than in the other tribes. Platyprosopism, or flatness of face, predominates throughout all the tribes, but is slightly more marked in the Amhara than in the others. The cephalic index varies from 64 to 88, but chiefly centres between 76 and 79, the mean index of the series being 78°5, which places them in the mesaticephalic group. In the Amhara tribe it averages 81:4, in the Tigré 78:2, in the Gallas 79. The module of the head averages 158, as obtained from the length, breadth, and height of the calvara added together, and, after 15 mm. has been added to represent the distance from the meatus to the basion, divided by 3; from the length and breadth added together and divided by 2 it is 165. The nasal index averages in the Tigré 68:1, in the Amhara 74-2, and in the Gallas 76-2. According to Broca’s divisions of this index in the living, the Tigré are leptorhine and the others are mesorhine. The mean stature of the series is 1™693, the shortest being 1™593 and the tallest 1™-870. The Amhara tribe averages about 2 cm. taller than the Tigré. The trunk, neck, and head are 50°3 per cent. of the stature, and the lower limbs from the level of the tuberosities of the ischia downwards are 49:7 per cent. of the stature. The canon of pro- portion of the various parts of the body to the height are as follows: Trunk, 32 per cent.; neck, 5:3 per cent. ; head, 13 per cent.; the thigh, from the level of the tuberosities of the ischia, 23°2 per cent.; the leg and height of foot, 26:5 per cent.; the length of the foot, 14°5 per cent. ; the entire upper limb, 44°9 per cent., the upper arm being 17:2 per cent., the forearm 16-2 per cent., and the hand 11:2 percent. The length of the forearm to that of the upper arm gives an index of 96; while the leg and height of foot together give, with the portion of thigh from the ischial plane to the knee, an index of 114:3. Although the tribes examined are all members of the Caucasian family, the Gallas and the Barea are more negroid in their characters than the Semitic tribes, probably from longer contact with the negro and 002 564 REPORT—1893. from the geographical position they occupy in South Abyssinia. Of the Semites the Amhara are more negroid than the Tigré, while the latter retain more of the characters probably typical of the inhabitants of South Arabia, the country which their language indicates as the original home from which they have migrated. The Exploration of the Glacial Region of the Karakoram Moun- tains.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Colonel GoDWwIN- AUSTEN (Chairman), Professor T. G. Bonney (Secretary), and Colonel H. C. B. Tanner. Tur Committee were appointed for the purpose of assisting in the exploration of the Karakoram Mountains, physically, geologically, and biologically, by Mr. W. M. Conway and companions. Previous to the expedition of Mr. Conway’s party to the Karakoram Mountains the whole of the Gilgit territory had been surveyed and mapped by parties of the Survey of India. Colonel Godwin-Austen, when making his survey of Baltistan in 1860 or 1861, had surveyed up to the Gilgit and Hunza-Nagyr frontier, while Captain Brownlow, R.H., and other assistants of the Kashmir Survey had roughly sketched from very distant points the Gilgit valley. Subsequently Colonel Tanner and two sub-surveyors had made a detailed survey of Gilgit and surrounding valleys. The latter work was published some twelve years back, on the scale of 2 miles=1 inch, under the title of ‘New Map of Astor and Gilgit.’ The Bagrot valley and all the southern waterways from the Rakapushi chain were entered on this map, and the spurs of Rakapushi, extending W. and N.W. down to the Gilgit River, were also laid down with fair accuracy. Mr. Conway’s exploration this side includes country already well known and surveyed, though his examination of the Bagrot glacier should be considered new and more detailed work. In the new map of Astor and Gilgit the glaciers were coloured green by hand, but not drawn hard with pen and ink on the original map, copied by photo- graphy and photozincoed. Colonel Tanner’s work was a continuation to the westward of Colonel Godwin-Austen’s survey, and was picked up (with a small hiatus) from that officer’s most northerly and westerly stations of observation. On the publication those features not laid down from actual and accurate - survey were entered in dots as a guide to any surveyor who might follow Colonel Tanner’s party. The exploring party in the Karakoram Mountains in 1892 consisted of Mr. W. M. Conway, Lieutenant the Hon. C. G. Bruce, Mr. A. D. M‘Cormick, Mattias Zurbriggen (an Alpine guide), and four Gurkha sepoys. For part of the time they were accompanied by Messrs. Roude- bush and Eckenstein, also by Colonel Lloyd Dicken. The party reached Gilgit, on a tributary of the Indus, and made their first exploring expedition up the Bagrot valley, since the highest ranges were as yet (May) inaccessible owing to the amount of snow still unmelted. Working on a larger scale, the features of the higher ground, particularly the glacier, were much improved in detail, and the names of all the tributary glaciers recorded. An attempt to cross from it into ON THE GLACIAL REGION OF THE KARAKORAM MOUNTAINS. 565 Nagyr over the main ridge was defeated, so the party returned to Gilgit. Some interesting observations were made on the mud avalanches in this region. These are vast masses of mud, thickly mingled with huge blocks of rock, which are swept down the gorges in the steep mountain flanks on to the more level parts of the valley, and become important factors in modifying this part of the earth. Departing again from Gilgit, the travellers visited the rock-bound valley of Hunza-Nagyr. The weather was unpropitious, but another attempt (not completely successful) was made to reach the Bagrot pass from this northern side, and an expedition was undertaken to the Barpu glacier. One branch of this was explored and mapped, and a peak which rises at its head was ascended. The ridge separating this tributary (Barpu) valley from the main Hispar valley was traversed by a pass about 16,000 feet above sea-level. From the latter valley the most important glacier expedition was undertaken, for the Hispar pass (17,600 feet) was crossed to Askoli, which was reached on July 26, nearly a fortnight having been spent on or by the side of the two great glaciers, which stream from the summit (gained on July 18). Their combined length is about sixty-seven miles, and they both terminate at some 10,000 feet above the sea-level. Askoli was left on July 31 for an expedition to the great Baltoro glacier, and a good view was obtained of K, (or Mount Godwin-Austen) (28,278 feet), which rises grandly from the upper part of this ice-region. Pioneer Peak (22,500 feet), a minor summit of the Golden Throne at the head of the Baltoro glacier, was climbed, as well as a lower (Crystal) peak. The party returned to Askoli on September 5, and crossed southwards from that place by the Skoro pass (about 17,000 feet) to Askoro, in the Shigar valley, whence they reached Skardo on the Indus. From it they visited Leh, and regained Abbotabad (whence they had begun their journey to Gilgit) after an absence of seven months. Mr. Conway has added some 600 square miles of quite new topo- graphy east of Hunza-Nagyr and north of the Rakapushi range up to near the longitude of the Nushik La. Hence his route-map up the Hispar glacier, down the Biafo, and on again to the Baltoro is based on and kept in proper position by the topographical work of the Indian Survey on the 4-miles-to-the-inch scale, executed in 1860-61 (previously alluded to), very much enlarged, showing consequently a great deal of close detail either sketched in on the spot or taken from photographs. The portion near the Hispar pass, never before crossed by any European travellers, has thus been very accurately laid down. He has also cor- rected the topography of the tributary glaciers at the head of the Baltoro, which Lient.-Colonel Godwin-Austen when making his survey of it was “oH able to plane-table roughly from a distance of fifteen to twenty Talles. This detail work of Mr. Conway covers about 1,200 square miles, and is an instructive piece of Alpine topography, because the scale is large enough to show the extent and proportions of the ice and snow-covered surface, and the size and position of the lateral and median moraines, &c. _ Many photographs were taken, and a number of sketches were painted | by Mr. M‘Cormick. The following collections were made: (1) A large number of rock specimens representative of the geology of the districts _ explored. These are being examined by Professor Bonney, who hopes to 566 REPORT— 1893. communicate an account of them to the Royal Society next session. (2) A collection of dried plants (sent to the Kew herbarium), of seeds, of which forty species are now growing at those gardens, and of some iris-bulbs. (3) About one hundred specimens of butterflies, sent to the British Museum (South Kensington). (4) A collection of spiders, beetles, &c., was also made, but the greater part of this, unfortunately, was stolen from the baggage on the journey down from the mountains. Some account of the details of the journey has been given by Mr. Conway to the Royal Geographical Society, and has appeared in their journal for November 1892 and for February and July 1893, and a fuller narrative will be published in a volume in the course of a few months. The Teaching of Science in Elementary Schools.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Dr. J. H. Guapstone (Chairman), Professor H. E. ArmstronG (Secretary), Mr. S. Bournz, Dr. CrosskEY, Mr. G. Guapstonrk, Mr. J. Hrywoop, Sir Joun Lussock, Sir Partie Maanus, Professor N. Story MAsKELYNE, Sir H. E. Roscozr, Sir R. TEMPLE, and Professor 8. P. THOMPSON. Your Committee have the satisfaction of reporting this year two important. circumstances which show the increased value set upon the teaching ot science in elementary schools. The one has reference to the rapid advance in the adoption of ‘ Hlementary Science’ as a class subject; the other is the great provision made for it in the new Code for evening continuation schools. The report of last year showed the commencement of the movement for the substitution of scientific teaching in the place of the so-called ‘English’ as a class subject, a movement which has now become much more pronounced. It will be seen by the following tables that, while the teaching of ‘English’ steadily rose with the gradual increase in the number of schools, that of geography and elementary science slightly decreased during the years 1882 to 1890; and that when the obligation to take ‘ English’ had been removed these two scientific subjects took a start at once, which has been more than maintained in 1891-92, The number of departments of schools in which these class subjects have been examined by H.M. Inspector during the eight years 1882 to 1890 has been as follows :— Class Subjects Departments | 1882-83 | 1883-84 | 1884-85 | 1885-86 1886-87 | 1867-66) 1888-8 1889--90 | | | English . . - “ . | 18,363 | 19,080 19,431 | 19,608 | 19,917 | 20,041 | 20,153 | 20,304 Geography “ 3 _ . | 12,823 | 12,775 12,336 | 12,055 | 12,035 | 12,058 | 12,171 | 12,367 Elementary Science : 48 51 45 43 39 36 36 32 The numbers during the last two years are as follows :— es rn hs ON THE TEACHING OF SCIENCE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. 567 A Class Subjects.—Departments 1890-91 1891-92 re ee BB 19,825 18,175 MumiGeopraphy . . »- . ee ele 12,806 13,485 Elementary Science.

Estimating the number of scholars in Standards V., VI., and VII. at 500,000, the per- centage of the number of passes in these specific subjects as compared with the number of children qualified to take them is 19°7; but it should be remembered that many of the children take more than one subject for examination. The following table gives the percentage for each vear since 1882 :— 568 REPORT— 1893. In 1882-83 .

The statistics of the London School Board are brought up to the year ending with Lady Day, 1893. They show still more strikingly the advance that has been made in the teaching of elementary science as a class subject, and they give the number of children as well as the number of departments. Years Departments Children 1890-91 11 2,293 1891-92 113 26,674 1892-93 156 40,208 The only alterations in the Code of this year which directly affect the instruction of the children in elementary schools, and which come within the scope of this Committee’s inquiries, are the addition of dairy work and housewifery as recognised subjects of instruction for girls. These are capable of being so taught as to be scientific in character, the first named being necessarily experimental, and no grant being receivable unless special and appropriate provision has been made for its practical teaching. No grani is given as yet for housewifery. , With respect to the Queen’s Scholarship Examination, which is now the final examination of pupil teachers, it is provided that marks will be given for a pass in certain specified science subjects at the May examina- tion of the Science and Art Department, instead of for a first class as heretofore. Hygiene and physics are added to the list of subjects for which marks may be given, thus allowing a greater range of choice, though only one science subject will count for this purpose. There is, however, a footnote added to the effect that ‘after the present year marks will not be given at any examination for a pass at. any examination held more than a year previously.’ Now, as the Science and Art Department’s Examinations are held in the month of May, and those for the Queen’s Scholarship at the end of June or beginning of July, it is evident that, in order to gain the marks offered, the pupil teachers must take the two examinations in thesame year, and that within two months of each other. This will be injurious to both, and cause an unnecessary pressure upon the candidates, who have hitherto been able to take their qualifying certificates under the Science and Art Department in the earlier years of their pupil-teachership. Your Committee have pointed out in previous reports that there is no obligation upon pupil teachers to learn any science during apprenticeship, although they may actually be required to teach object-lessons or elementary science in school. These marks are —— Se ON THE TEACHING OF SCIENCE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. 569 the only incentive offered by the Government, and the new regulation will tend to diminish the study of science at all. Your Committee also lay much stress upon the continuous training of the mind by scientific study during the whole period of apprenticeship, instead of cramming up simply for a pass at the close. Marks will also be given now ‘to candi- dates who shall present University Extension certificates awarded by the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, the Victoria Univer- sity, and the Universities Joint Board of the London Society for the Extension of University Teaching, provided that the certificates shall have been awarded (after examination) during the year preceding the Queen’s Scholarship Examination on a course of study including not less than twenty-four lectures and classes (of which the candidates must have attended not less than twenty) in one of the following subjects,’ amongst which are specified ‘ geology, astronomy, meteorology.’ It appears, how- ever, to be a hardship that some subjects in which Extension lecture certificates can be gained should be excluded, e.g., that a pupil teacher attending lectures and doing practical work in chemistry cannot make use of the certificate so obtained in passing the Queen’s Scholarship examination. In the preceding report of your Committee it was pointed out that evening schools had made great progress, in consequence of greater liberty having been given in the choice of subjects—a matter which your Committee had strongly advocated in former years. This development has since assumed still larger proportions, as will be seen by the following table. It should be borne in mind, however, that the Government returns do not show how many of these passes are made in scientific subjects. Evening Scholars taking Additional or Special Subjects.

The Code has been entirely remodelled this year, and from every point of view it presents great improvements upon all preceding regulations. The new ideas con- templated by the Committee of Council on Education are indicated in the change of name to ‘Evening Continuation Schools,’ which are no longer restricted by any age limit, adults of any age being now recognised as scholars. Individual examination, which has always been deterrent to the elder students, is now entirely abolished, and the grants payable by the Government will be assessed on the result of inspection without notice, at which observation of the manner in which the lessons are given will be an important factor in judging the merit of the school. This alteration will of itself greatly conduce to the more intelligent handling of the subjects taught, and to the formative character of the work. 570 REPORT—1893. A choice is given from about forty different subjects of instruction, some of these being for women only. About one half of these are either directly or indirectly of a scientific nature, and each scholar may take not less than two or more than five of these subjects. They include— (Huclid, (d) Mathematics ; 3 . , Algebra, \ Mensuration, Elementary Physiography, Elementary Physics and Chemistry, Science of Common Things, Chemistry, Mechanics, (e) Science subjects, and subjects / Sound, Light, and Heat, of practical utility Magnetism and Electricity, Human Physiology, Botany, Agriculture, Horticulture, Navigation, together with domestic economy, cookery, laundry work, dairy work, housewifery, and manual or technical instruction. There is the restric- tion that no scholar may take more than two of the science subjects for a grant. This the Committee take to mean the subjects specified in cate- gory (e), so that two of those might be taken plus the three mathematical subjects (d) or three of the miscellaneous subjects, domestic economy, cookery, &c. As most of these latter may, and indeed ought to, be taught upon scientific principles, the limitation may not in effect be of any serious consequence ; while the last of all, ‘ Technical Instruction,’ may be made to include the practical application of the several physical sciences included in category (e). The various schemes suggested in the Appendix are much too detailed to admit of being introduced into this report, but it may be mentioned that while those for most of the subjects of instruction follow pretty closely on the lines of those in the day schools Code, though not appor- tioned to particular stages or as work for separate years, there are detailed schemes given for some of the subjects which are far in advance of any- thing that has hitherto been supplied by the Education Department. Of these the courses of instruction prescribed for elementary physiography, elementary physics and chemistry, agriculture, and domestic economy are given in great detail. To that for elementary physics and chemistry, which is described as an elementary course in practical science, a memo- randum is appended to the following effect :—‘The second title is given to this scheme to indicate that it is not a mere outline of a set of lectures, but is rather a systematic course of practical instruction for the scholars themselves. The complete set of experiments should be carried out by the class (¢.e., the scholars) as a whole. The whole course may reasonably extend over two or even three years.’ Your Committee are glad to recognise in this the adoption of the principles which were laid down in their report read at the Cardiff meet- ing in 1891, and hope that the improved methods of instruction suggested in the continuation school Code may be largely adopted in the elementarv day schools. ON THE TEACHING OF SCIENCE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. 571 Reference was made in the report of this Committee in 1891 to the appointment of additional science demonstrators by the School Board for London, and to the fact that these demonstrators were endeavouring to initiate practical work by the scholars in a number of schools under their charge. Two years’ experience has shown, not only, as was to be expected, that the children take the greatest interest in such lessons, in which they are led to gain information through their own observations and experi- ments, and to draw conclusions therefrom, but that it is possible, even under the present admittedly unfavourable conditions, to accomplish much valuable work of this character; and, in fact, the scheme which has been introduced into the Evening Continuation School Code is largely based on the experience thus gained in the London School Board. Moreover, experience has shewn that the ordinary teachers are capable of carrying such a scheme as that put forward in the Evening Code into execution, after receiving the necessary special instruction, provided that they are thoroughly supervised and aided by constant inspection ; and such a method of instruction and supervision of the teachers has been recognised in the Code of 1893 (Section I. 5*, p. 2). It is to be hoped that County Councils may be led to give help in these matters, as their work would be much forwarded by such instruction in scientific method being given to those whom subsequently they specially wish to reach. Finally, your Committee urge that no time should be lost in extending instruction in measurement, &c., such as is indicated in the Evening Code, to girls’ schools, as the habits which can be acquired through such in- struction are precisely those which are of importance in carrying on household work. The Methods of Economic Training adopted in this and other Countries.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor W. CunnincHam (Chairman), Professor E. C. K. GONNER (Secretary), Professor F. Y. EpGEworTH, Professor H. 8. Fox- WELL, Dr. J. N. Keynes, and Mr. H. Hiaas. Your Committee have succeeded in obtaining a quantity of interesting information from French, German, Italian, Austrian, Spanish, Belgian, Dutch, Russian, and Scandinavian universities, as well as from the United States and Canada, but much of it has been so delayed that it has not been possible to draft a complete report for the present meeting. While deferring, therefore, the presentation of its detailed report until next year, your Committee wish to express their conviction of the unsatisfactory conditions attending economic instruction in this country. As compared with the better equipped among the foreign countries with which comparison would naturally be challenged, the inferior organisation of teaching in the United Kingdom is very striking. For this there seem to be two main causes :— (1) The omission of many teachers to adequately recognise methods of empirical study. (2) A very prominent and present cause—the practical exclusion of Economics from the curricula and examinations preliminary to those professions in connection with which its study would appear peculiarly 572 REPORT—1893. suitable. The importance of applied Economics has not been sufficiently recognised either in university or in Government examinations. Before presenting a fuller account of the inquiries undertaken on their behalf, and of the methods whereby in their opinion desirable changes might be effected, your Committee desire further time for consideration. For this purpose they ask for reappointment. The Climatological and Hydrographical Conditions of Tropical Africa.—Second Report of the Committee, consisting of Mr. E. G. RavENSTEIN (Chairman), Mr. BaLpwin LatHaM, Mr. G. J. Symons, F.R.S., and Dr. H. R. Mitt (Secretary). (Drawn up by Mr. E. G. RavENSTEIN.) THE Committee held five meetings and carried on the double work of supplying instruments to competent observers, and collecting the records of meteorological observations already made in tropical Africa. Sets of instruments have been supplied (1) to Dr. W. H. Murray for use in Nyasaland (on account of the observer’s health breaking down, these instruments were left in store at Ke’limani, and transferred to Mr. J. Buchanan); (2) to Mr. Moir in Nyassaland; (3) to the Rev. Mr. Glennie at Bolobo, on the Congo; (4) to M. Bonzon, on the Ogowe; and (5) to Captain Gallwey in Benin. Of these, Mr. Moir’s and Captain Gallwey’s sets have been erected in their permanent positions, and Captain Gallwey has commenced to send in regular monthly sheets. A sixth set of instruments has been acquired for the use of the Rev. Mr. Morris, of British East Africa. Records of previous work have been received since last report from the Rev. Mr. Glennie (at Bolobo, on the Congo) for two years, from Fort Salisbury, and from eight stations in British East Africa. Forms for recording meteorological observations and copies of the ‘Hints to Observers ’ drawn up by the Committee have been supplied to many observers in different parts of Africa. The Committee’s instructions have been adopted by the Royal Geographical Society, and incorporated in the new edition of ‘ Hints to Travellers.’ Your Committee have expended the 50/. granted, and they beg to propose that they be reappointed, and thaa grant be made of 261. The Dryness of Steam in Boiler Trials.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Sir F. BramwELL (Chairman), Professor W. C. Unwin (Secretary), Professor A. B. W. KENNEDY, Mr. Mair RumuLey, Mr. JeEREMIAH Heap, and _ Professor OsBoRNE REYNOLDs. Owine to various circumstances the Committee are not in a position to report at this meeting. The subject is one of some importance, and some new methods of testing the dryness of steam have lately been pro- posed. The Committee ask, therefore, to be reappointed, with a view of preparing a report for the next meeting. ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 573 The Development of Graphic Methods in Mechanical Science.— Third Report by Professor H. S. HELE Suaw, M.Jnst.C.L£. GRAPHICAL SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS. Tux first and preliminary report on this subject was presented in 1889. The second report was presented last year, and was divided into four parts. 1. General geometrical considerations. 2. The representation of results graphically. 3. Graphical solution of problems. 4, A tabulated list of reference to graphic methods to be found in the scientific literature of this country. Only a brief treatment of the third division was possible. This in- cluded quotations from various authors concerning the development of the subject and a summary of graphical problems, though a more com- plete account was given of two of these branches, viz., slide rules and mechanical integrators. The present Committee was appointed to prepare a third report on the subject, dealing as completely as possible with the unfinished portion of the report, viz., ‘The Solution of Problems.’ The study of the second report, particularly of the classified list of references, conclusively shows that graphical solutions have in this country at any rate proceeded almost entirely on two lines. 1, Interpolation of plotted results. 2. Use of reciprocal diagrams in structures. The former, although arriving at results which would be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain in any other way, is itself a remarkably simple operation, the chief part of the work really consisting in the preparation of the diagrams in which the interpolation is made. This matter was treated very fully in the second report, both for plotted curves and instrumental methods for obtaining them. The latter, viz., use of reciprocal diagrams, is largely employed, chiefly because of its simplicity. It forms, however, only one branch of what is now known as ‘ Graphical Statics,’ which in turn only includes one class, although the most important class of graphical problems. Moreover, the cases treated by its means are nearly always the simplest, and do not involve the use of more complete solutions which have been given by various writers for cases of more difficult problems in struc- tures. There has been, however, a large amount of research in connection with the subject, of which little practical use is at present made, and while, on the one hand, many writers strongly advocate the application in practice of graphical statics (vide ‘ Quotations,’ pp. 420-426, second report), on the other hand there is a large amount of scepticism as to the use which may be derived from the study of the subject. What is apparently needed is a definite statement of the general nature of graphical operations followed by a concise account of the 574 REPORT—1 893. solutions of the various engineering problems at present scattered over various books and papers in English and foreign literature. This should convey a clear idea of the problems which can be dealt with, so that their practical use can be estimated. The bare statement of the problems would, however, be scarcely sufficient for this purpose, since not only must the problems be such as are required, but the solution must not be too difficult, or the ideas too abstruse for practical engineers. Some application to practical results would, therefore, be advisable, leaving, however, as a general rule, the proofs and explanation to be derived from the works which are quoted. This important work cannot be attempted so as to do justice to it in the present report, which merely gives a classified outline of the problems. It is not to be expected that the graphical methods will come into general use unless special training and education on the subject can be obtained at technical colleges and schools. As a good deal has been said and written on this subject (vide second report), this report has been supplemented with an account of the teaching of graphical methods in engineering schools at home and abroad as explained on p. 608. The following is an outline of the scheme of the present report :— Division I.—Graphical Operations in General. Division II.—Summary of Problems which have graphical solu- tions. Division III.—The Teaching of Graphical Methods. Drviston I.—GrapHicaL OPERATIONS IN GENERAL. As already noted, graphical operations are distinguished from mere geometrical operations by the fact that definite portions of lines repre- sent quantities, and only such geometrical operations are of interest as enable definite numerical results to be obtained. It is true that a very common graphical operation is that of finding the direction of the line in which the resultant of various given forces act ; but direction itself, though it may not always be numerically expressed, is capable of being so expressed if required. Indeed, it is this particular power of being able to deal directly with the directions in which forces act, or motion takes place, and with positions in space, instead of first translating these measurable quantities into mathematical symbols and calculating the results by means of trigonometry or algebra, and finally effecting their reconversion into some geometrical mode of representation, that constitutes the great value of graphical methods. It is this that has led to the discovery of the solution of such a large number of engineering problems and its growing popularity amongst scientific men. We may treat graphically many problems in which direction or position is not either of them the factors which actually occur, but in which they simply become a part of the process of performing mathe- matical operations; thus treatises on graphic statics frequently com- mence by stating the means by which multiplication, extraction of roots, solution of equations, &c., may be graphically performed. It is tolerably clear that the reason why the operation of these numerical calculations by graphic methods has never been put to any practical use is because such work is most easily performed arithmetically. The problems which arise in engineering are, however, to a large ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 575 extent connected with the action of force and the motion of bodies in space, in which cases direction and position are direct factors in the problem. In the great majority of cases the action of such forces may be practically taken as in space of two dimensions, and therefore capable of direct representation upon a plane surface; but it is satisfactory to know that the resources of graphic methods are equally capable of dealing with cases in which three dimensions of space must be considered, and that, by the aid of descriptive geometry, drawings on a plane surface may be made to completely represent the conditions of such problems. Indeed, the fundamental property which underlies the whole of graphical opera- tions employed for the solution of problems, viz., ‘reciprocity,’ has very similar interpretation, at any rate in mechanics, both in two dimensions of space and in three. In any case, however, it is a plane surface which is operated upon, and the question as to what can be done with a plane surface as regards quantities represented or dealt with upon it must be considered. Upon a plane surface we can represent the position of a point, and, supposing the point to move, we can further represent its path by a line or assemblage of points, any given portion of which has a definite numerical length. In every position that the point takes along the line it has a definite direction, and the direction of the motion of the point, or, as it is commonly called, the ‘direction’ of the line, for that position of the point can also be stated as a definite numerical quantity. These properties of direction and length, as already noted (vide second report), are equivalent to a knowledge of the position of points on a surface. It is these numerical properties which give the means of graphical operation, because without such properties being introduced the operation would be purely geometrical. Sometimes we may require as the solution of a problem only one of these, as, for instance, length, in a mere problem of graphical calculation. Sometimes another property may be required, e.g., direction, as in the case of the line of pressure in an arch, or the slope at any point of a bent girder; but in all cases we employ two at least of these properties in the graphical solution of a problem. It may scarcely be remarked that although we may actually operate with straight lines we obtain by their intersections assemblages of points giving curves of various orders, or, what amounts in the limit to the same thing, envelops, the straight lines being then tangents to the curve. The distinction between these two ways of regarding curves, although important in geometry, does not present itself very prominently in graphical problems. The direction of a line at any point may be always supposed to be about some centre, real or imaginary, to which it may be referred, no matter what curve the line may take. In practice, however, the lines used for graphical operations are chiefly limited to the case when the centre is at infinity, that is, to straight lines. The reasons for this are obvious, for straight lines of limited length or ‘segments’ are readily measured, and have a constant direction, which is easily expressed. Arcs of circles in some cases might be employed, for the curvature is constant ; but no curve offers the same advantages for the general purposes of graphical manipulation as a straight line. There is another and deeper reason for the use of straight lines or rows of points, viz., the fact that forces act, and bodies tend to move in straight lines, and hence the 576 REPORT—1893. problems in connection with the most important physical phenomena are necessarily performed by operations with straight lines. Operations with straight lines or segments have been classified under heads and collected into books. One of the earliest writers to do this was Culmann, and the first chapter of his work, ‘ Die graphische Statik,’ published in 1866, has the title, ‘Operations with Lines,’ and contains the following headings :— 1. Addition and subtraction. 2. Multiplication and division of lines with ratios. 3. Powers and roots. 4. Multiplication of lines with lines. Other writers! practically adopt the same classification, and it will be well, in order to save repetition, to take his statements for consideration. This classification practically divides the subject into— 1. Addition. 2. Multiplication. Now there exists between these two processes, as set forth by the writers in question, a radical distinction which does not exist between the ordinary arithmetical processes under the same names. To illustrate the latter let the segment A A, (fig. 1) be taken, and let us add to it any number of segments. This operation is shown in the figure, the sum or result being A A, A, Az... Aj. Fig. 1.

But in arithmetic we have a definite process for the 1 Amongst writers on the subject may be quoted :—Cousinery, Le Calcul par le Trait, Paris, 1840; Eggers, Grundziige einer graphischen Arithmetik, Schafthausen, Vienna, 1868-69; Jager, Das graphische Rechnen, Speyer, 1867; Von Ott, Die Grundziige des graphischen Rechnens, Prague, 1879; Favaro, Sulle prime operazioni del Calcolo grafico, Venice, 1872; Bellavitis, Considerazioni sulla Matematica pura, Venice, 1872; Cremona, Hlementi di Calcolo grafico, Turin, 1874. ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 577 performing of multiplication, the graphical analogue of which is as follows:— At any arbitrary angle to the given segment A A, (fig. 3) set off a segment, A B,, of unit length and produce it to B,, so that A B,=n units of length. Join A, B,, and through B, draw B, A, parallel to A, B,, meeting A A, produced in A,,. Then SAS AA p= A AAS. 2d AL: Fig. 3. B, B; A As An This process, it will be noted, necessitates the employment of the two dimensions of a plane surface, but only gives results involving one dimen- sion, as the direction is quite an arbitrary matter. Culmann and other writers, however, do not limit the idea of addition to parallel segments, but extend it as follows: Let it be required to add the segments A A,, A, Ag, ... fig. 4, now no longer parallel. The process of doing this is shown, and A A, is said to be the graphical sum or result of the operation. This idea is Fia. 4. Ae Az extended to three dimensions of space ; thus Culmann says: ‘ The lines may have any direction whatever in space, and the figure can then be looked upon as a projection upon the paper. If such a combination of 1893. PP 578 REPORT—1893. lines should really be made, two such projections would be necessary to determine the position and length of the resultant, and the lines would have to be projected according to the rules of descriptive geometry.’ Now the foregoing operation on a plane surface really involves the addition of two independent variables, viz., length and direction, being equivalent to taking the actual position in space of two dimensions of each successive point, instead of in space of one dimension, as in the first case. The result, which gives the final position of a point in the plane, also involves two measurements, which may be expressed as the length of a segment, and its direction relatively to a line. If three dimensions of space be used, then the operation involves three independent variables, and the results may be also expressed as such in terms of either three distances from three fixed points, or as one distance and two directions with fixed planes. We look in vain for any analogous operation given in books under the heading of graphical multiplication. The above process, although extended so as to meet the various requirements for which it is employed, is the only other means of graphical operation. We may, however, suggest a corresponding process by which a segment A A, having length and direction may have both these magnitudes multiplied ten times, and Fig. 5. 0.- =e yee As = Q z re ok oS a ee » Alo \ As Aé this can be done as shown in fig. 5. Here A A, is the given length, and OAA, the given angle. The successive segments, A A,, A, Ay, A> Az, . are set off at the given angle to each other, starting from A A). ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 579 The nature of the operation evidently gives only the total length and total angle made by the segments. The length and direction of the ‘resultant’ segment, A Ajo, have no meaning. This case makes it clear that the true sum in the case of addition, and the product in the case of multiplication, must be taken for length along or parallel to the line itself, whilst the resultant angle must be con- sidered to be that turned through by a Jine passing through A, which occupies positions successively parallel to the various segments. Now, in the so-called graphical addition we get neither one nor the other of these quantities, but a certain measure of each. Concerning this Culmann says: ‘ As resultant or sum of this addition we must naturally consider the final point of one such line. Hence in the case when all the lines have the same direction, the distance of the final point will be equal to the sum or difference of all the lines,’ but the sentence goes on to say : ‘Just as it is impossible to take from the sum of several magnitudes the value of a separate magnitude, we cannot here obtain from the position of the final point alone those of the separate segments,’ which looks strongly as if the writer felt there was some radical difference, which, however, he does not define. The difference between the two things is, however, really the key to the whole subject, the process of graphical addition being really of two separate kinds which are mixed up together, one involving only one kind of thing, and corresponds to simple arithmetic, and the other involving the use of two dimensions of space and two kinds of quantities, and leading to the most important graphical results. It seems not advisable to consider the latter as a simple matter of graphical addition. In this report, therefore, the words ‘graphical addition’ will be limited to what appears to be really its legitimate use, and the expression ‘ graphical combination’ will be employed to express the idea of combining non-parallel segments, the word ‘sum’ being employed to signify the result in the former case, and the ‘resultant,’ as usually em- ployed, retained solely for the latter. In the case of multiplication, where two dimensions of space are already used to perform the multipli- cation, only the simple arithmetical idea is involved. A recognition of this difference leads to a clear view of the actual nature of problems in which the same figures and construction may be used to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant segment, and also at the same time to perform the multiplication of the given segments by quantities which may depend upon their relative positions. It is therefore necessary, before proceeding further, to consider the question of multiplication. In Culmann’s work (second edition), page 7, a state- ment is made under the heading ‘ Multiplication and Division of Lines by Ratios.’ ‘We distinguish two cases in the multiplication and division. ‘The multiplication or division of lines by ratios. In this case the degree is not altered, and the result is a line. ‘The multiplication of lines by lines, which gives surfaces, and of surfaces by lines, which gives volumes, &c., and inversely the division of volumes by lines, which produces surfaces, and so on. In this case there is a change in the degree.’ The first of these, viz., the operation of multiplying by a ratio of the value n, is the same as taking the segment n times in the way already explained. It is true that Culmann says:— ‘In many cases one considers the case where the ratio is given by a PP2 580 REPORT— 1 893. number, and if one gives for a multiplier the length 1, 2, 3,...n, one carries it 1, 2,3, ... times uponaline. This method, although very simple, does not entirely harmonise with the methods of graphic statics. Graphical construction can only give lines and not numbers, and, more, one can only carry out graphical construction by means of lines. To carry n times the same length upon a line is equivalent to translating the given number into a line, exactly as the measuring off and plotting of the last line correspond to the translating of the closing line into the result. We will therefore always suppose that the ratio of the factor is expressed by means of two lines, m and n.’ This really means that, as already seen, the actual method of obtaining graphically the product of a line must be by means of a graphical operation, which operation has been shown to be by the use of similar triangles, in which the multiplier figures as a ratio which from our point of view is 7: With regard to the second division this is studied in two separate chapters under the respective titles of ‘ The Transformation of the Reduc- tion of Areas’ and ‘The Transformation of Volumes.’ The first edition of the above work had as a heading of one division, ‘ Multiplication of Lines by Lines,’ the contents of which practically amounted to the re- duction of areas to lineal representation, although another chapter relates to the surfaces and volumes. Now the statement that the multiplication of lines by lines gives surfaces cannot be admitted without some qualifi- cation. lt may perhaps be convenient to use such an expression, but geometrically this is not really true, and may prove very misleading in graphic statics. From any point of view multiplication simply consists in a process of addition, and no addition of lines can possibly give an area. What the idea arises from is of course evident, for an area may be regarded as the mean length of a figure multiplied by the mean breadth, simply because unit of area is a surface which may be regarded as of . unit dimension in each of the above directions, and therefore any other area contains the number of units of area represented by the product of mean length and breadth. Lines may represent these two quantities, and in this sense alone may be regarded as being multiplied together. Thus an indicator diagram, in which length and breadth respectively represent volume and pressure, may be said to show the product as foot-pounds of work, but this is only because a unit of area on the diagram represents to scale a unit of work, or 1 foot-pound. The total areais given by the product of the two quantities representing mean pressure and mean volume. The foregoing considerations may thus be summed up as indicating the manner in which the remainder of this section wil! be treated. (1) Segments are the means by which graphical operations are chiefly performed, the result being either the final length or direction of a segment. Therefore quantities must be reduced to segments before they can be dealt with. Hence area and volume must be represented by straight lines, and the means of doing this will be considered first. (2) Addition is confined to segments in one direction, 7.¢., to continuous straight lines, or parallel segments. (3) Multiplication is the operation of adding graphically a given number of equal segments, but requires the use of two dimensions of space to be practically useful in the solution of problems. Thus multipli- ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 581i cation is limited to finding length, although it might be applied to multiplying an angle if practically useful, both operations, however, not being performed simultaneously. REPRESENTATION OF AREAS AND VOLUMES BY MBaANS oF SEGMENTS. It may be assumed that any concrete quantity to be dealt with by a graphic operation is given in terms of a numerical quantity, and may be at once represented to some scale by a ‘segment,’ ! understanding by this word, unless qualified (as, for instance, segment of a circle), some definite distance between two points; that is, the length of a straight line. A geometrical quantity, however, in the form of a curved line, or of an area or volume, has frequently to be dealt with, and this must first be represented by a segment. There are means of calculating such areas or volumes, and in the second report a section was devoted to the mechanical means of doing this. It is, however, necessary to have methods of doing this graphically, and such methods are generally treated, not only in books on graphic statics, but in treatises on descriptive geometry. Areas may be divided into polygons and figures bounded by curves. The former may be always reduced to asingle triangle by the well-known . method of drawing successive parallels. The area of any triangle may in its turn be represented by a segment equal to the altitude of another triangle, of the same area as the former, but with a base equal to twice the unit of length. The polygon need not, however, be reduced to a triangle, and there are various methods which avoid doing this, although the principle of the operation is the same in all cases. If the boundary be curved the figure can be split into a polygon bounded by the curved figures, which may be supposed to be segments of parabolas. Now, the segment of a parabola is 4 the area of a triangle, upon the same base and of the same altitude, and therefore by making triangles upon each parabolic sector, having their altitudes respectively $ that of the parabola’s segment, and adding them all to the original polygon, the operation of reducing the area of the figure becomes merely that of reducing the new formed polygon. A special case is that in which the bounding curve is an arc of a circle, the area of which is occasionally required ; as, for instance, in the case of an arch, the extrados and intrados of which may have different centres. In this case the first step involves finding a segment equal in length to an are, or, as it is called, the ‘rectification’ of the arc, which is also occasionally required in other graphical problems. Rankine suggests two methods, in one of which a tangent is drawn at one ex- tremity to meet a radial line through a point on the arc a quarter of its length from that extremity. The sum of the distances from the two extremities to the above point differs from the length of the are by a distance (r being the radius). _ (are)? (arc)? ~ 4320r4 * 348464875 This construction requires the centre of curvature of an are. The other method does not require the centre of the curvature, but - as * Some American writers use the term ‘sect,’ and this term, though open to ob- jection, is perhaps even less so than ‘ segment,’ which has generally been used for a different kind of geometrical quantity. 582 REPORT—1893. ‘ consists in producing the chord of the are to a point, half its own length distant, and with this point as centre, and with a radius equal to $ of the chord, drawing an arc to meet the tangent at that extremity of the arc which is nearer the centre.

He remarks that this method is much more exact than attempting to divide the arc into a certain number of equal parts. He also mentions the method published by Herr Hanacek in the ‘ Zeitschrift des Oester- reichischen Ingenieur und Architecten Vereins,’ 1871, which is really the _ construction of a length from the following formula :— — Peay ‘is s=2VP+P+h, 2 when chord of } are = J//? + f?, and 5 is the segment of the base of a right-angled triangle whose height is f (7.e., the height of the arc), the other segment being 3/7, where 2/ is the chord of the arc. Culmann remarks about the method : ‘It is more practical and more correct to take the length a, by means of which we measure an arc so small that it should not require any correction, which is better than to measure half the length of the arc, haviug to correct this measure before- hand.’ He also shows that the above formula when expanded gives 2 1 1 = aa (ee a ey ed Pe ps ‘ 21 (1+5 att tag! ), where pal. ie whereas the correct value is really 2, 2 2 = Sa avegs Supple wg eee ley a (145 15 oes ) and by means of an example proves that for a semicircle the error is inadmissible. Cremona, however, remarks about Culmann’s method (‘ Graphical Calculus,’ English translation, page 114): ‘The method given by Cul- mann for developing the circular arc A B along the tangent at one of its points is much too long. The length of the circular arc may be found graphically in a much simpler fashion by having recourse to auxiliary curves, which drawn once for all can be employed in every example,’ and proceeds to give the methods suggested by Professor A. Sayno, of Milan, 584 REPORT—1893. for two of which the spiral of Archimedes is employed, and in the third the hyperbolic spiral. Lastly, there is a method of rectifying the semicircle given b Kochanski, about 1685 (see Cremona), in which an angle at 30° laid off at the extremity of a vertical diameter meets the tangent to the latter from the point of intersection ; along the tangent a distance equal to three times that of the radius is taken, giving a point whose distance from the extremity of the vertical diameter is l=rJ/ 4+ (3 —tan 30°) =3'14153r. Using one of the foregoing methods for finding geometrically the length of an arc, the area of the sector of a circle can now be found by drawing a tangent to the arc equal to it in length and joining the extremities of the segment with the centre. The area of the triangle so found is equal to the area of the sector. Culmann has compared the difference of area resulting from the as- sumption of a parabolic arc or of a circular are as the approximate form of the bounding curve of an area.

In general, all that was formerly said about figs. 13a and 13 relate also to fig. 13 c, all corresponding verticals being congruent. This relation gives us a means of drawing two polygons through given points. For instance, let 01, the first side of the polygon, pass through a point «,y,, and the last 67 through the point z,y,; then we commence by drawing a parallel line to ¢;, and finish the polygon as above described. If, finally, the side 67 does not pass through the definite point «,y,, there is nothing to be done except to shift the row of points obtained in the vertical z, in such a way that the point next in order to 6 coincides with the given point z,y,.

This construction can be executed still more easily by means of the first vertical z,; for this line does not even change its position, and all sides of the polygon are intersected by it; therefore the last side of the polygon 67 is given by the point z,y,, and by the point 67 in w,, viz., the intersec- tion of the first polygon with x,; the second is given by the intersection of this side with the intersection of the corresponding side of the former, and so on. Owing to the want of space this construction is indi- cated only from the side 34. Expressions are next found for the ordinates y;. The differences of two following coordinates are denoted by Az, ,,,; and Ay, ;,;, and possess two indices, for it is impossible to denote successive coordinates by continuous indices.

The construction for finding continuous products needs further con- sideration, apart from the applications already mentioned, as it is a matter of general importance to have a graphical method for obtaining 598 REPORT—1893. the sum of a series of second products. The figure already used (fig. 12) may be employed to indicate the process. In this figure the first products have been obtained, and by taking a new pole P, at a distance of unity, and drawing the rays as shown, and then drawing the parallels precisely in the same way as in the first case, a number of values of the form OA?. K are obtained, each of which is called the ‘moment of inertia’ of the given segment about that point,' so that the length of O’ A,’ becomes ZOA? . K=I=Moment of Inertia. It may be required to obtain a series of the form Z{(OA.K)O’A’}, where the values of OA and O’A’ both change, in which case a graphical solution is also readily obtained. The construction for continuous products enables the mean value to be found of OA (say OA,), such that This is done by producing the two extreme lines in the second derived figure, which were drawn parallel to those of the first figure, until they intersect, and through the point of intersection drawing a parallel to the line BC D, and the intersection of the line with the line OA, A,... giving the required distance. This is shown in fig. 12. Now it does not matter what distance O is taken along the line A, A, A; . . .; the position A, relatively to A,, Ay, A3, . . . is always the same. Now the actual position of the segments in the direction of their own length has nothing to do with the result, and wherever O is taken, so long as the perpendicular distance to the segments is unaltered, the distance O A, of the perpendicular upon the direction of the segments through O remains the same. Moreover, the sum of the products of the segments into their distances from A, (having due regard to their sign) is zero. Suppose that the number of segments is infinitely great, and that they are infinitely close together, so that their extreme points form the locus of the boundary of a plane figure ; then the sum of the products about any point in the line through A,, (fig. 15), parallel to the direction of the segments, is zero. Next, suppose the same boundary to be formed by the extreme points of a similar second series of parallel segments, taken in some other direction. The same will hold with regard to the line through some point A,, for the second series, and parallel to them. The inter- section of these two lines gives a point G about which the sum of the products of every series of parallel segments whose extreme points lie on the boundary of the figure is zero. This point is called by Cremona and others the ‘centroid’ of the area in question, and its determination for surfaces of various kinds is a matter of great practical importance. The way in which the matter has been approached, though not perhaps the simplest from the point of view of application in mechanics, indicates. at once the graphical method of determining centroids. Thus any plane 1 This term is quite meaningless for the most usual applications in engineering, and might be replaced by some other, as it presents a difficulty to those who have not had a mathematical training. ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 599 figure may be divided into parallel strips and segments, representing the areas drawn through the centre of each; the line containing the centroid is then found. This operation is repeated with parallels in some other direction, and the intersection of the two lines containing the centroid gives the point required. Fiq@. 15. There are numerous propositions relating to figures of different known forms given by Culmann and others, such as for the triangle, trapezium, sector of a circle, segment of a parabola, &c., but the method of derived figures enables the centroid of any plane area to be obtained. Segments representing volumes and the centroids of solids can be found by a similar process, just in the same way as the centroid is found for a series of segments when the first products are taken. A point A;, corresponding to the centroid, can be found in the per- pendicular from any point O when the second products are taken; but it may be remarked that (1) The square of the distances being taken, the sum of the products about the point can never be zero. (2) The point A; changes for every change in distance of the point O. The determination of the distance, which is called the radius of gyration of this point from O, can be graphically obtained, and the method is explained in Culmann’s work, and by Chalmers and others. The segments have hitherto been drawn in the plane of the paper, but there is no necessity to do this; indeed, the cases which occur when segments are multiplied are usually such that one series of segments is taken as acting at right angles to the plane of the paper, their magnitude being represented by an area, so that if an area is divided into a number of equal parts the segments are equal, and equal in number to the divisions. If the segment does not act at right angles to the plane, then the intersection with the plane will give the shortest distance of the segment from it, and therefore the length of the second segment by which it is to be multiplied. 600 REPORT—1893. CENTRAL ELLIpse AND KERN. Suppose the foregoing operation performed for a certain point O, assuming that the segments which have their extremities on the boundary of the area have a certain direction. Suppose, further, the operation repeated with the segments in various directions and the respective radii of gyration found. If these be plotted from the point O in the directions perpendicular to their respective direction, and parallels to the directions of the segments in the corresponding positions are drawn, these parallels will be found to envelop an ellipse. This ellipse is known as the ‘ellipse of inertia,’ and in the case when the point O is the centroid of the figure under consideration the ellipse is called the ‘ central’ ellipse. The term ‘momental’ ellipse is often used for the ellipse of inertia, the central ellipse being called the ‘equimomental’ ellipse. The foregoing is stated as follows by M. Lévy :—‘If upon different lines issuing from any point whatever, in a plane, we plot their lengths, inversely proportional to the radius of gyration relatively to these lines, the locus of the extremity of their lengths forms an ellipse.’ ! The proof of this and other properties of the central ellipse by that writer are, with slight alterations, given in the following paragraphs, where by using the idea of segments instead of that of forces the treat- ment is made perfectly general. Let Ow and Oy be axes of coordinates. Let any line O uw making any angle a with the axis of 2 be that about which the moment of inertia of a segment P whose point of intersection with the plane p is required. Then I,=P (y cos a—z sin a)?, and the moment of inertia of a number of such segments becomes SIp==P (y cos a—z sin a)?, or P= Py? cos? a+ =P2? sin? a—2=Pzy sin a cos a; or if a,23 P= SP2? b,?2P==ZPy? e272 P= zPay (1) r?=a,? sin? a+b, cos? a—2c,? sin a cos a.

If all the segments have the same sign (say +) in this case, a? and 6? being positive, the curve is an ellipse. If, on the contrary, the segments have not the same sense, the moments of inertia relatively to the principal axis may be of contrary sign; that is, a? and b? may be re- placed by —a? and —J?; the curve may then be an hyperbola. The curve relatively to the point O in a plane is called the curve of inertia relative to this point, and will be a curve of the second degree, the axis of the curve being the principal axis of inertia, When the centroids correspond with the centre of the conic it is called the ‘ central conic,’ and is usually an ellipse, that is, the central ellipse. Instead of taking the rectangular axes Ox and Oy, take the new axes Oz, and Oy,, the latter making an angle 4 with Oz. Then y=, sin 0 L=2,+y, cos 0. ‘The above equation referred to the new axes is (aa, + 2a? cos 0B—2c? sin 0) wy, + (a? cos? 6+6? sin? 6—2c* sin 0 cos 0)y,? —-/j4 Then since y,” is the square of the radius of gyration to the axis O y;, let 5, be this radius.

If the axes Ox, and Oy, are two conjugate diameters of the central conic, the term x,y, disappears in the last equation, that is to say C) =(l) Thus the characteristic relation of the conjugate diameters is =P2,y,=0. In the case of rectangular axes this relation has been shown to characterise the principal axes. It will be noticed that in the foregoing treatment distances are plotted inversely proportional to the radii of gyration, and along the lines about which the moments of inertia are taken. M. Lévy gives another method of treating the conic of inertia, corresponding to that which has been already mentioned. He does this in the following manner. If to any line Ov parallels KK’ and K,K,’ be drawn at distances from Ov equal to the length of the radius of gyration relatively to this straight line, the conic of inertia may be defined as the envelop of the lines K K’ or K, K,’. Let Ow be the direction of any conjugate diameter to the line Ov. Let OA=a! OB=F be the lengths of the conjugate semi-diameters, corresponding to the directions of Ow and Ov, and let 6= / uOv. In virtue of the definition of the conic, if r is the radius of gyration of the axis relatively to Ov, then ad’ _ab p OPT a and } being the semi-axes of the conics; but we also have Y ab=a'b' sin 6, whence avo! sin 6 7 =a’ sin 6, ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 603: that is to say, the radius of gyration relatively to Ov is the length of the perpendicular A P dropped on this line from the extremity of its conju- gate diameter: hence this tangent coincides with K K’. Just as the property of the ellipse of stress is only a special case for a plane area of the more general property for solids of the ellipsoid of stress, so the ellipse of inertia is only the special case for a plane area of the more general property for solid bodies of the ellipsoid of inertia or ‘momental’ ellipsoid, the ‘central’ or ‘equimomental’ ellipsoid corre- sponding for a solid body to the central ellipse for a plane area. If we suppose segments of opposite sign, it is possible to obtain an hyperboloid of inertia and central hyperboloid; but this, as Routh remarks,! does not occur in practice, since the moment of inertia is essentially positive, being by definition the sum of a number of squares,. and it is clear that every radius vector must be real. Hence the quadric is always an ellipsoid. The properties already referred to for the central ellipse have their counterpart for the central ellipsoid ; thus at any point of a space through which segments can be drawn there are always three principal axes at right angles to one another. The above author goes on to deal with what corresponds to the products of an infinite number of segments, explaining the method given by Bresse.? Let 7 be the abscissa of the centroid of the given section. Then nf [deay = | [ytoay. Consider a cylinder with a base corresponding to the given area and its generatrices normal to the plane of the area, and having a boundary plane passing through Oz and inclined at 45° to the given plane.

The geometrical property just given may be at once applied to another very important purpose, viz., to find the mean distance from a line which, multiplied by the sum of a series of segments whose magnitude is pro- portional to their distance from the line *1 ques:‘on, gives a result equal to the sum of the products of each segment into its distance from the line. This is really the problem of finding the centre of pressure in a surface over which the intensity of pressure varies uniformly, or the centre of resistance of a bent beam, the intensity of stress varying uniformly at the skin. Fia@. 16. Let the area, fig. 16, be that of the surface in question, the distance of every point of which from the tangent A B being a measure of the seg- meni, which has to be multiplied into that distance. The sum of the squares of the distances is the quantity required, and is thus found. Find the central ellipse of the area, and through the centre O draw the diameter ‘O C conjugate to the diameter parallel to A B, intersecting A B in C and the ellipse in D. From C draw the tangents CE and CF. Jon EF, intersecting OC in M. Take ON=OM in CO produced; then N is the required point. The point in question is the antipole of the line A B relatively to the central ellipse of the given centre. If now for every position of the tangent A B round the given area, antipoles are found, a curve is obtained which is called—in German, kern; in French, noyaw; and in English kern, kernel, core, and heart. The first of these seems the best term. It has already been shown how the sum of a number of products may be obtained for any conditions of sign, and in certain special cases it is necessary to have a graphical statement of the result which one series of the two quantities multiplied together varies between certain limits. Bending moment diagrams, deflection curves, and moment of inertia diagrams are examples of such graphical statements. Tur Sum or THE Propucts oF NON-PARALLEL SEGMENTS. Hitherto the products of parallel segments have been dealt with, but it may also be required to find the sum of a series of products in which the segments representing different magnitudes of the same kind have ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 605- different directions in a plane, and it may not be desirable to commence by making the segments parallel. Let AB, BC, CD, ... (fig. 17) be segments, the sum of the products of which into the perpendicular distance of their directions from a given point O is required. Fig. 17. Draw the equipollent diagram by combining the segments as already explained. Take any pole P and draw the first derived diagram, and then the second derived diagram, and through the point O draw a parallei to the resultant A’O’. Then the part of it M N intersected between the two extreme lines of the second derived diagram gives the required sum of the products. If the point O lies in the resultant which is the line through the point of the intersection of the two extreme lines parallel to the resultant in the first derived diagram, the sum of the products is zero. Much more might be written on such subjects as the Sum of Products in Space, the Properties of Reciprocity, and the Null or Focal System, but their treatment would require more space than can be allowed to the report in the present volume.

The examination into the treatises and systems of dealing with graphical methods which has been necessary in the preparation of this report has revealed the great divergence in the nature of the teaching of graphic methods in engineering colleges and schools throughout the world. The writer therefore felt that some practical results might ensue if information was collected from various sources as to the nature of the teaching in different countries, such as the number of hours devoted to the subject and the kind of teaching given. Sir E. Grey, Under-Secretary to the Foreign Office, was good enough to obtain the prospectuses of the colleges in several countries. Mr. J. Smith, H.M.’s Consul at Munich, most kindly obtained the programmes of the German schools. Professor Cremona, of Rome, and Professor Dwels- hauvers-Dery, of Liege, sent also most valuable information. The pro- spectuses of all the American technical institutes and colleges were obtained through the kindness of Professor Ira O. Baker, of Illinois University. From the materials so obtained an abstract has been made by the writer of the details of time-tables and other information regarding graphic statics and graphical methods in the engineering schools of Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Russia, Belgium, Norway and Sweden, and Switzerland, and also of most of the American colleges and technical schools. A translation has also been made of the courses of instruction in graphic statics at Braunschweig, Hanover, Liege, St. Petersburg, Milan, Brunn, Madrid, and elsewhere. The printing of all this would have extended the present report beyond the limit which could be allotted to it, and the MSS., together with the printed matter above mentioned. and numerous other documents bearing on the subject, which have been collected in the course of the preparation of the report, are therefore deposited in the office of the British Association for reference. As a discussion of a report is not usual at meetings of the British Association, the writer, taking advantage of an invitation to read a paper at the recent International Engineering Congress in connection with the World’s Fair at Chicago, brought forward the subject on that occasion. He was fortunate enough to obtain the opinions of some of the most eminent professors in engineering, including Professor W. Ritter, of Zurich. A verbatim report of the discussion, in which not only a large number of professors of engineering but also some well- kuown engineers took part, is deposited, with the matter already men- tioned, for reference in the office of the British Association. The following is an abstract of the paper itself :— It was shown that graphic methods might be classified in two divi- sions—(1) the plotting of results, and (2) the solution of problems. The former of these is rarely considered worthy of any special training, as a knowledge of it is apparently regarded as capable of being acquired ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 609 without any instruction. The solution of problems, on the other hand, has of recent years received a great deal of attention, under the title of ‘Graphic Statics,’ which is the most important, and indeed at present almost the only, special branch of the application of graphical construction. This branch is in many engineering schools dignified by a special course of lectures and classes, with even a special professor for the subject, while in many other schools the subject is not taught at all; and, again, the opinions held by practical men, and apparently also by professors in the engineering science, would seem to differ in a most remarkable manner as to the value of graphical methods. It is believed that this difference of opinion is apparent, and not real; and the very fact that so much attention has been devoted to the subject, in which at present there is no uniformity in the teaching or general agreement as to methods, amply justified the treatment of this subject before a congress; and it was with the hope that some authoritative expression of opinion might be obtained that it was brought forward. The two divisions may be dealt with in order, taking first the plotting of results. This method is now universal, not only in the mechanical sciences, but in almost any case where statistics of any kind are employed, as it enables results, which would otherwise be difficult to grasp, to be at once made clear by a simple inspection. The various methods of plotting and the various instruments which have come into use for automatically recording such results were too familiar to need discussion. [A sketch of that portion of the report presented last year relating to the plotting of results was then given.] Now it appears to be the common idea that the interpolation of results, no less than the actual plotting, is a sort of intuitive process which is readily acquired and requires no sort of train- ing; but on careful investigation the contrary is found to be the case. This was illustratedby various examples. The series of diagrams relating to the action of the crank and connecting-rod of an ordinary engine which were exhibited, and which were drawn for a meeting of an engineering society, were noticed to be in some respect novel, giving a satisfactory arrangement, so as to include four sets of diagrams, each of which in- cludes a linear, central polar, and circumferential polar diagram of the same results. To many of those present these diagrams were no doubt perfectly familiar, but it was found that there were many practical engineers to whom, not only did the different series of diagrams have no definite meaning, but the difference between the three diagrams and the various points which are thereby brought out were obviously not easily grasped; and, moreover, from year to year, when bringing these diagrams before students, it has been found that only after considerable repetition, and after the student has constructed for himself a series of similar diagrams, is he able to deal with such problems or to grasp their general meaning. With regard to the solution of problems the case is entirely different, for this subject receives a certain amount of attention in every en- gineering course of instruction. In England such instruction is given, as a rule, in most colleges incidentally when the subjects of statics, machines, or hydraulics are being dealt with, although recently in some cases special training in graphical methods is being introduced as a part of the course of engineering instruction, in several cases being given as a branch of descriptive geometry. Thus in the Science and Art Depart- ment, both under the heads of descriptive geometry and also machine 1893. RR 610 REPORT—1893. drawing, a knowledge of some of the elements of the subject is expected. On the continent of Europe, however, for many years, not only have special courses of lectures been devoted to the teaching of graphic statics as a separate branch of the subject, but there have been a large number of schools in which there are special professors of graphical statics. The reason for this difference is to be found, not altogether, as it is often supposed, in a want of appreciation on the part of English engineers or professors of graphical statics—for it was in England that the germ of such methods was first developed by Rankine, Clerk Maxwell, Fleeming Jenkin, and others—but because the system of appointing professors in the special polytechnics devoted to the allied sciences is there in vogue rather than in England, where one or two chairs of engineering are added to other chairs of the university or university college. Now, it is instructive to note the general method of instruction indi- cated in the syllabuses of engineering schools, and which are even more clearly shown in the various text-books on the subject. From these it is clear that the general methods consist of giving certain rules, which may be called general graphic methods, and which apply to addition, multi- plication, powers, and extraction of roots, which may be regarded as forming the introductory portion. This is followed by what may be regarded as an introduction to statics, in which special stress is laid on geometrical constructions, and the solution of many problems is given which would otherwise be worked out by analysis. We may regard the well-known work of Culmann, ‘ Die graphische Statik,’ as the first important treatise of the kind, in which work were collected problems of a general nature, under the title of ‘ Graphical Calculation,’ which occupied the first three chapters, under the respective titles of ‘Operations with Lines,’ ‘ Rectification of Areas,’ and the ‘ Recti- fication of Solid Bodies,’ the whole occupying seventy pages. Inthe second edition of his work two chapters are introduced on logarithms and calcu- lating rules, this portion occupying in the second edition 150 pages. In the second edition the preliminary portion of graphic statics, which occupied 130 pages in the first, here takes up no less than 350 pages, and is followed by 120 pages on the theory of the elements of elasticity, the author unfortunately not living to complete the work on the lines which he had planned out. One thing is particularly noteworthy, viz., the large space occupied by constructions and propositions, which may be regarded more or less of a general nature compared with the space devoted to the solution of actual examples. The same thing occurs in the lucid and valuable work of Bauschinger, ‘Hlemente der graphischen Statik,’ in which there are sixty-two pages devoted to what may be regarded as matter of a general nature, and only thirty to the applications. In the work of M. Lévy, which is the standard work of France, although he has very much reduced in the second edition the portion of purely geometrical calculation, he occupies the whole of the first volume of between 500 and 600 pages with the ‘ Principles and Applications of Pure Graphic Statics.’ The same general facts are derived from a study of the detailed course as set forth in the various programmes of technical schools, the general conclusions being that a great deal of the matter taught under the head of ‘graphic statics’ contains general principles of graphic methods of construction which might be taught apart from any applications at all ; and its being so taught would be capable of its application, not only in cases of statics, but in dynamics and hydro-mechanics. ON GRAPHIC METHODS IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE. 611 Take, as an example of this proposition, the ellipse of inertia and the central ellipse, which are only applied to force, and which are given as if they only referred to the problem of the beam. These theorems, how- ever, have an equally important bearing on hydrostatics and rigid dynamics, the ellipsoid of inertia having the properties, for instance, of the momental ellipsoid of Cauchy, the central ellipsoid, and those of the equimomental ellipsoid of Legendre. Indeed, there is every indication of a gradual tendency towards the development of the science of graphical calculation, quite apart from that of graphic statics. Thus we find graphical constructions originally devised and given by writers (notably Rankine) as they were needed in works of mechanics. Next we have the first collection of graphical calculation, already referred to, of which there are remarkable examples in the little work of Cremona, ‘Il Calcolo grafico,’ in the preface of the English edition of which he acknowledges the work of Culmann. Cremona, however, goes considerably beyond that author, particularly in adding the important chapter on ‘ Centroids,’ in which the properties of the centre of gravity are treated from a purely geometrical point of view, without any reference whatever to force. A still more recent work is that of Favaro, who, in his ‘ Lessons on Graphic Statics,’ devoted his second volume entirely to the subject of graphical calculations. From this it is clear that a course of instruction might be given, under the head of Graphical Methods, which might be taught in the same way as descriptive geometry, and which ought, indeed, to be worked in con- junction with that subject. This subject should deal with the construc- tions of such geometrical figures as are important for graphical applica- tion. It should also deal with the plotting of results and the general properties of plane curves, as far as the student is able to numerically effect measurements with it, which he can check by calculation. PHYSICAL DEVIATIONS AMONG CHILDREN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. 615 tomed to note size, texture of tissue, and in particular the parts of the features, and describe as abnormal absence or ill-proportioning of parts. Thus the cranium was not noted as small unless the circumference be less than 19 in. at eight years old, or 194 in. among older children, while the general volume is estimated by the open hand placed upon it: the fore- head, its width and height ; presence of a median ridge or lateral bosses ; in the ear the presence of helix, antihelix, pinna, lobe, and the general convexity and character of the cutaneous covering, &c. The most frequent deviations from the normal cranium are in size, small head being most common among girls, while over-large heads were frequently associated with bosses, and were most common among boys. Other types of heads were asymmetrical, and a few cases of hydrocephalus were found in schools. Defects in palate may usually be described as narrow, arched or yaulted, or V-shaped, the straight alveolar processes meeting at an acute angle anteriorly. The bony bridge of the nose is often ill-developed, flat, and wide. The mouth and palpebral fissures may be small. The epicanthis, at the inner angle of the eye-opening, is often marked. Other defects in development are less frequently met with, including supernumerary ears, defect or absence of limbs, cleft palate, &c. The deviations from normal development here recorded are those well known in criminal anthropology, and as common among imbeciles ; but the degree of ill-proportioning in the bodily condition of school children is usually much less than in idiots. Defects of bodily development are frequently found to be coincident with defects of brain, iowering mental status, but not necessarily so. The connecting link between defects of body and defective mental action is the coincident defect of brain, which may be known by observation of “abnormal nerve-signs.’! It is the coincident observation of conditions of development and ‘nerve-signs,’ indicating brain action, that forms a special feature of the present investigation, and distinguishes the methods used from older physiognomical research. Another fact co-related with defect in development is the tendency of such children—especially girls—to become thin, pale, and delicate. It is in the co-relation of abnormalities in the proportioning of parts of the body with abnormal nerve-signs, low nutrition, and mental dulness that we find a criterion of the really defective status connected with the abnor- mality. We describe, not only defective children, but every child pre- senting a visible defect. As the ‘ nerve-signs ’ may be new to many readers a brief description of some may be given. The face is conveniently divided into three zones, the frontal, the middle down to the lower level of the orbits, and the lower containing the nostrils and the mouth. Deviations from the normal muscular action and balance are termed ‘abnormal nerve-signs’: their value depends on pe significance as indices of action in the nerve-centres which produce them. Frontal Muscles overacting.—Horizontal creases on the forehead are thus produced in varying degree: the creases may be fine, producing a ’ To this view of the question, as demonstrated by the original researches of Dr. Warner, the Committees attach great weight. 616 REPORT— 1893. dull forehead ; or coarse, producing a frown. This siga varies in degree, being least when the child is attentive and mentally engaged. Corrugation.—Knitting of the eyebrows, drawing the eyebrows together, with vertical creases on the forehead. Orbicularis Oculi relawed.—There is a thin circular muscle encircling the eyelids. Its tone gives sharpness of outline to the lower lid, so that its convexity is marked. Its action is increased in laughter. When this muscle is relaxed there is falness or bagginess under the eyes. Eye-movements defective-—There may be wandering movements of the eyes without fixation; the child may not follow a slowly moving object with the eyes, but turn the head without any movement of the eyes. Head-balance weak.—In the normal the head is held erect; it may fall forward or be inclined to one shoulder. The normal posture of the hand when held out to the word of com- mand is straight, all parts and the fingers being in the same plane, and the hand on a level with the shoulder, the arms being parallel. Hand-balance nervous.—The wrist drooping, the palm slightly con- tracted laterally, the thumb and fingers extended backwards at their junction with the palm of the hand. Hand-balance weak.—In this type of balance the wrist is slightly drooped, the palm contracted laterally, and the digits are slightly bent or flexed. This posture is seen in sleep when the forearm is passively held out. Finger-twitches—These may be seen when the hand is held out and the fingers are spread. The twitching movements may be lateral or in flexion and extension. Lordosis—When the hands are held out an altered balance of the spine may be seen in a weak child with arching forward in the lumbar region, while the upper part of the trunk is thrown back. Other Nerve-signs——This group includes the signs less frequently seen, such as the following :—Slowness of response in movement, defects of speech, over-smiling or grinning, drooped jaw with open mouth, nystagmus, paralysis, &. Analysis of Dr. Francis Warner’s observations of 50,000 children seen 1890-92 has afforded much new information as to conditions bearing on the mental status and well-being of school children. It has been shown that more boys than girls are ill-developed; but of such cases the girls tend more to delicacy and mental dulness, suggest- ing that, while the average girls may work hard with advantage, there are a certain number who need special care. The group of children who appeared to require special training in- cluded the epileptic, imbeciles, those ‘feebly gifted mentally,’ and the paralysed: they amounted to 16 per 1,000. It is satisfactory to know that the School Boards of London, Birmingham, and Leicester have made special arrangements for the care of such cases. The same scientific principles as enabled their numbers to be ascertained may be used to indicate their special requirements in training. Tracing the group of children with defects in development through certain schools, it ig evident that they are more numerous in Poor-law schools and in certified industrial schools than in day schools, and that though they kecome fatter in resident institutions they there present more nerve disorder and more mental dulness. PHYSICAL DEVIATIONS AMONG CHILDREN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. 617 Children with a defect in development form the largest class of cases. noted in every group of schools, and such form of defectiveness is largely associated with nerve disorder and mental dulness. It is, however, noteworthy that a considerable proportion escape the two later evils. Of the development cases : - . 52 per cent. present nerve-signs. 39 # were reported as dull. ” ” ” ¢ 7 = » With nerve-signs 43 5 i ” ” ” ” Under conditions of less favourable training the proportion of de- velopment cases with nerve-signs and the proportion who are dull rises. It seems, then, that efficient training and education do much good in preventing evils from arising in such cases. Comparing 10,000 children in elementary day schools of upper or middle social class with 26,000 in poorer day schools, we have found in the latter a smaller proportion with defect in development, nerve disorder, low nutrition, or mental dulness. The thin, pale, delicate children—4 per cent. of the children seen— were almost entirely confined to the class ‘development cases.’ Could we remove these defects we should probably have a smaller proportion of children thin and delicate as well as fewer with nerve disorder and mental dulness. Among children with defect of the body those with ‘small heads’ form an important group of 2 per cent. of the children seen ; the condi- tion falls mostly upon girls, and was found unequally distributed, rising for girls in Strand to 7 per cent., in City 6 per cent., falling in Ber- mondsey to 3 per cent., and in certified industrial schools for girls rising to 6 per cent. Such cases were more common among the English than the Irish or Jew children. Cases presenting some defect were least frequent among the children in the Jew free schools of Whitechapel, and most frequent among the Trish schools, as seen. Eye cases were very frequent in all schools: many needed spectacles who did not use them, and ophthalmia and its results were prevalent in many instances. The children reported by the teachers as dull in school were 7 per cent. of those seen, and 40 per cent. of the children presenting some defect that was described in the schedules. The greater the number of defects seen in the groups of children, the higher rises the percentage of mental dulness. After inspecting a school and tabulating the results of observation it is easy to prepare a report comparing the child-material seen with the average, showing the effects of training the brain and the mental powers of the pupils. The evidence accumulated tends to show that, while general educa- tion has effected excellent results, much remains to be improved concern- ing the care of the mental and physical conditions of children, especially as to conditions of unevolved brain power, which are remediable by better classification and training in certain cases. This inquiry is directed to obtaining a definite statement of existing physical and mental conditions by observation of 100,000 children, and the causation of such weakness and defects as are more common among them, and the means of removing such defects which lead to ill-health and mental dulness. A methodical arrangement of investigation and 618 REPORT—1893. tabulation of observations is in use, and has been amply approved by ex- perience; the elaboration of results will be submitted to professional actuarial investigation. Such a statement of facts based upon a wide range of observation will show the groups of children that need special care, and suggest the directions in which care is needed for improving the condition of the child-population. The full report which the Com- mittee hope to publish will present a census of the physical and mental conditions of children which has not previously been obtained, and which was not possible till the modern advancements of cerebral physiology indicated the means to be employed. The Committee desire reappointment, and suggest that the title should be altered to the following: ‘To co-operate with the Committee appointed by the International Congress of Hygiene and Demography i in the Investigation of the Mental and Physical Conditions of Children.’ A brief statistical report is given below (Table I.) of 16,094 children seen in eighteen schools, showing numbers of children presenting each defect and numbers in certain groups as indicated :— Taste I—Statistical Summary of 16,094 Children seen, showing Numbers presenting each Defect and Numbers in certain Groups.

G. Garson, Professor A. C. Happon, Dr. Jos—EPH ANDERSON, Mr. E. W. Brasroox (Secretary), Mr. J. Rommtty ALLEN, Pro- fessor D. J. CUNNINGHAM, Professor Boyp Dawkins, Professor R. MeLpoua, General Pitt-Rivers, and Mr. E. G. RAvENSTEIN. (Drawn wp by the Secretary. ) Tue Committee have requested the following gentlemen (not members of the Association) to join them :— Dr. C. R. Browne (representing, with Professor Cunningham and Professor Haddon, the Royal Irish Academy, and forming a sub-com- mittee for Ireland). Mr. Edward Clodd, Mr. G. L. Gomme (President of the Folklore Society), and Mr. Joseph Jacobs (representing the Folklore Society). ' Mr. E. Sidney Hartland, Mr. Edward Laws, the Ven. Archdeacon Thomas, and Mr. 8S. W. Williams (representing, with Professor Boyd Dawkins and Mr. Romilly Allen, the Cambrian Archeological Association), and Professor John Rhys (forming a sub-committee for Wales). Mr. C. M. Kennedy, C.B. (representing, with Mr. Ravenstein, the Royal Statistical Society). Mr. H. 8. Milman and Mr. George Payne (representing, with General _ Pitt-Rivers, the Society of Antiquaries), and a representative of the Dialect Society. The Chairman and Secretary of the Committee, with Dr. Garson, represent the Anthropological Institute. The Committee as thus formed will consist of delegates of various learned bodies specially interested in the work, with the addition of the Chairman of the Corresponding Societies Committee. The Committee propose to record for certain typical villages, parishes, or places, and their vicinity— (1) Physical types of the inhabitants ; (2) Current traditions and beliefs ; (3) Peculiarities of dialect ; (4) Mcnuments and other remains of ancient culture ; and (5) Historical evidence as to continuity of race. As a first step the Committee desire to form a list of such places in the United Kingdom as appear especially to deserve ethnographic study, out of which a selection may afterwards be made for the survey. The places which appear to them most suitable for entry on the list are such as contain not less than 100 adults, the large majority of whose forefathers have lived there so far back as can be traced, and of whom the desired physical measurements, with photographs, might be obtained. The Committee addressed to persons whom they believed to be eminently capable of affording help in this preliminary search a request that they would do so by furnishing the names of such places, with a brief account of their several characteristics, mentioning at the same time the addresses of such of their residents as would be likely to support the Committee in pursuing the inquiry. The editors of the ‘Times,’ ‘Nature,’ the ‘Academy,’ the ‘Atheneum,’ 622 REPORT—1893. and the ‘ Daily Graphic ’ were so good as to make an appeal to their readers to assist the Committee in the same way. The Committee have to thank a great number of distinguished persons for their kindness in complying with this request. The following tables show the villages and places thus far suggested in each county, the counties being arranged from North to South, with the comments made thereon by the correspondents of the Committee :— ENGLAND, NORTHUMBERLAND. No villages have been suggested in this county. CUMBERLAND. Places By whom suggested Keswick . ‘ : A : : . Mr. Richard 8. Ferguson, F.S.A. Penrith . : ; - : ; . My. William Wilson.

Mr. J. Fisher Crosthwaite, F.S.A., has written upon the German strain, which is a most interesting one ; the inheritors of the German blood being men of intellectual power. Mr. Wilson, of the Keswick Hotel, suggests that the native population of the dales in lake districts might be met with at such gatherings as the hiring fairs, market days, and horse fairs in the towns. Many of the inhabitants are undoubtedly descendants of the Northmen, who formerly colonised the district, though the population, here as elsewhere, is thoroughly blended. The lake country is poor in traditions, but there are a few, such as the defeat of King Dunmail by Malcolm, King of Scotland, at Dunmail Raise, where the former was slain, and a pile of stones placed over his body. The dialect of Cumberland is best illustrated by its songs and ballads, which are numerous. The vernacular on the Cumberland side of Dunmail Raise varies considerably from that made use of on the other side in Westmorland. The Saxons are said to have colonised Westmorland, but did not settle in large numbers in Cumberland, which was mostly occupied by Danes. There are numbers ON THE ETHNOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 623 of prehistoric remains, such as a stone circle, several ancient forts, and a British village ; also some Roman remains. The history of the family of Holmes of Mardale has been traced to the year 1060, when their ancestor, John Holme, came from Norway and settled there. Aspatria, with a coal-mining and agricultural population, is a large parish in central Cumberland, and the outlying hamlets are aboriginal. Dalston is a large agricultural and manufacturing village, with similar hamlets. Orton, an agricultural village near Carlisle, is a very primitive place, surrounded by a hedge as a protection against moss troopers, and having the fields all laid out on a plan which is the survival of an early village community. Alston is a very secluded district of lead miners, tall in limb, very fair, due, it is said, to a German strain of miners in the fourteenth century. Mr. Ferguson remarks that the west of Cumberland is permeated with Irish miners, at the hematite mines, but Allonby remains a most primitive community, largely Quaker. Bromfield is agricultural, with some mining. Wastdale and Eskdale furnish fine specimens of un- adulterated Norsemen. Brampton is agricultural and mining; Laner- cost agricultural. The parish of Addingham, in which Mr. Turnbull lives, consists of four townships, Gamblesby, Glassonby, Hunsonby, and Little Salkeld. In the three last named the old type of resident yeomen is fast dying out. Gamblesby is situated at the base of Fiend’s Fall: the population is a little under 300, and the people are, for the most part, living on their own estates. WESTMORLAND.

In the villages named by Canon Mathews the in- habitants have been notoriously adscripti glebe. At Ravenstonedale are some of the most extensive remains of great works in the remote past, and the population and dialect are exceptional. The whole parish of Orton is a complete treasury of ancient civilisations and early wars. At Swaledale the dialect and mode of enumeration are peculiar, and have been hitherto classed vaguely as ancient British. A glossary of Swaledale words was published by the English Dialect Society in 1873. The superstitions of the county point to fire worship and an oriental origin (in Mr. Wharton’s Opinion) quite as much as to a Scandinavian source. He thinks the original race must have been orientals, dark-complexioned, and diminutive (as suggested by Professor Boyd Dawkins), and that they fled to the mountains before the advance of a stronger people, these latter even belonging to a prehistoric period. While in counties of more level physical character, richer soil, larger population, and greater agricultural 624 REPORT—1893. and commercial activity traces of the past are rapidly obliterated, in the lonely valleys, on the wide moors, and among the mountains of Westmor- land and Cumberland primeval traditions, dialectic data (as, for example, the use of the digamma, a sounded but unwritten power), ancient monu- ments and vestiges of a long-forgotten civilisation are unmistakable tokens of the former prevalence of almost vanished races. Troutbeck is a primitive Westmorland village.

Her father’s family were established there for centuries, and she visited it in her childhood ; but her people are scattered, and she has not had more than a glimpse of it for well nigh forty years. It seemed at the ‘back o’ beyont,’ and she should think change itself would find some difficulty in getting there. At Lastingham, Dr. Sydney Ringer says, are two Roman camps and some tumuli. Not far is an old Saxon sun-dial of the time of Edward the Confessor. The inhabitants are Yorkshire dalesmen, with many of their old customs remaining. Staithes is a fishing village, where the folk are notorious for inter- marriages and for their conservation of old customs. Much in the same case were the people of Robin Hood’s Bay, near Whitby, when White ‘walked’ there in 1858. A writer to the ‘Times’ in 1885 said that there was a village not more than a mile or two from Staithes ‘whose in- habitants are nearly all Romanists.’ This is probably Ugthorpe, one of the most secluded places in the neighbourhood, so ‘ far from the madding crowd’ that the Reformation seems never to have touched it. The like might be asserted, says Mrs. Gutch, of more than one obscure place in Yorkshire. It used to be true of Ovington, twelve miles from Darling- ton, on the southern banks of the Tees. Canon Atkinson, Vicar of Danby, suggests that by villages should be . ON THE ETMNOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 625 understood parochial districts, such as his own parish, where there is no village in the ordinary sense that is a century old. Probably about the fifteenth century the inhabitants began to migrate from the centres in which they had been grouped, and to scatter themselves in comparatively isolated dwellings ; but still they were the same folk, and their descendants continued to dwell in the land, and were conservative to a degree until not very long ago. Mr. Mark Hill states that the people of Newton-upon-Rawcliffe, Pickering, with whose customs and dialect that gentleman has a familiar, extensive, and varied acquaintance, are extremely illiterate, untravelled, and behind times. Canon Isaac Taylor remarks on the general question that the whole population was cleared off in the devastation of the north by William L., after which a mixed population slowly filtered back. Hven later there have been great shiftings. In Settrington (of which parish Canon Taylor is rector) there is a nominal list of the inhabitants in 1598. All the families but two have shifted. In the West Riding there is a fourteenth-century poll-book, which would make it easy to trace con- tinuous residence ; but no earlier ethnological results would be possible, as William cleared off every soul in Wensleydale.

Torver is a village at the foot of the fells, west of Coniston lake, having a rural population similar to the Westmorland villages, but lying in more open country, and with good approach from the sea at the mouth of the Duddon. In the district of Rochdale there are a number of small hamlets which cling to old habits, and are to a considerable extent untouched by modern influences. A Flemish colony there is said to have introduced among other things the Lancashire ‘ clog.’ Mr. Sowerbutts remarks that almost every old village in Lancashire has a separate dialect. In South Lancashire the types of the country people will have to be found in towns. In his own district of Ribblesdale he can find a dozen people of the same type distinguished by a peculiar inflexion of the voice; but there are not many of the families left about Balderstone, such as Fenton, Ellams (or Helm), Harrison, and Coupe. He meets them daily in Manchester. His own family lived in Balder- stone from time immemorial (Sowing in Butts is the derivation of the _ name); and wherever the name is (Lancashire, Yorkshire, Hampshire, Bremen, Mexico, the United States of America) they all come from the Ribble valley. But all are cleared out now to the towns, except a game- keeper or two. When a lad ten or twelve years old he could go from farmhouse to farmhouse for nearly twenty miles. All are gone now. _* Eli o’ Tammas o’ Ruchat o’ Willym o’ Tummas o’ Willym o’ Shandy- 1893. $s 626 Rororr—1893. forth’ is the method he had to use to tell who he was. That would go back about 150 years. Blackley is a large parish, which has recently been absorbed in Manchester, and is consequently rapidly losing its individuality. About half of the parish has belonged geographically to Manchester for several years, but the rest has been cut off by a valley called Boggart Hole Clough, to which several traditions are attached, recorded in Roby’s ‘ Traditions of Lancashire’ and Bamford’s ‘ Walk.’ This portion has been until very recently a remarkably isolated and self-contained place, although within hearing of the Manchester town-hall clock. Many of the inhabitants have lived for generations in the place. One family traces its pedigree to John of Gaunt, and claims kindred with Hugh Oldham, Bishop of Exeter in 1515, The dialect of Blackley is akin to that of Middleton and Rhodes, approaching that of Rochdale, but differ- ing from Oldham. ‘There are no monuments or other remains of ancient culture.

Hence it is that the population is greatly mixed with Irish and Welsh; still, peculiarities of dialect prevail, resembling generally those of Yorkshire and Lan- eashire. North Staffordshire is by no means rich in monuments and remains of ancient culture. Until the present century it was little known. The higher regions were moorland or forest, and very thinly inhabited. A few so-called Druidical monuments remain, but tumuli are very scarce. Of Roman remains he knows none, except some roads of cross-country character. Biddulph Moor has a peculiar race of inhabit- ants, rapidly dying out, popularly attributed to the introduction of some individual from the East by one of the lords of Biddulph. They are peculiar in physiognomy and in language. There was also a peculiar race, well-nigh extinct, in the moorland near Leek, off the road to Buxton, in a locality known as the Goldsitch mines. There are several fine encampments of British and Saxon times. SHROPSHIRE. Place By whom suggested Clun. 4 r - : : : . Mr. Geo. Luff. This village, in the south-west corner of the county, ten miles from the Craven Arms junction of the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, and about eight miles from Broome, on the Central Wales line, the nearest railway station, lies sleepily in its own little hollow, encircled by hills 1,000 to 1,400 feet high, and out of the beaten track from anywhere. The result of Mr. Luff’s nine years’ diligent researches is to show a strong and important neolithic settlement, with its centre upon Rock Hill, communicating by a long mountain ridge with central Wales, and protected on the English side every way by a network of formidable hill fortresses. This position was continuously occupied by neolithic men, overlapping the bronze period probably down to historical times. ‘he fusion of race with the Celts may have taken place before the final defeat of Caractacus (which Mr. Luff holds to have taken place at Shrewsbury), but then occurred a great dispersion. The large Roman camp near Craven Arms probably marks the centre of attack by Ostorius, but after- wards one small garrison planted behind Clun seems to have been snf- ficient to keep the remaining hill populations in order. Mr. Luff found no bronze, though outside the ring of earthworks bronze relics are common. The collection of flint and stone implements made by him is declared by Professor Boyd Dawkins to be all neolithic. Norro.k. Places By whom suggested Fishing villages along the coast. . Right Hon.

Mr. Huxley states that a careful ethnographical survey of the fishing villages along the east coast of Great Britain from Pegwell Bay to Wick would be likely to yield interesting results. Many years ago, when he ss 2 628 REPORT—1893. was a Sea Fishery Commissioner, and later as Salmon Fishery Inspector, he was very much struck with the uniformity of type in the inhabitants of some of these villages. The fishing population often keeps itself very much to itself; and, indeed, he found on the Norfolk coast adjacent villages of fishermen distinctly hostile to one another, each being careful to accuse the others of all breaches of the fishery laws which take place. In north-east Scotland the same type is of course very strong, the names of some of the villages being pure Norse. Brandon is the site of the flint industry. Of the country round Ormesby Broad, north of Yarmouth, Mr. T. V. Holmes, F.G.S., remarks that, although a railway now runs through it, it must still retain much that is primitive. The Danes appear to have settled there at an early period, as the place-names Ormesby, Filby, Rollesby, &c., attest. Like Thanet, this Ormesby district was an island 1,000 years ago, although now connected with the rest of Norfolk by marshes, as Thanet is with Kent. There are probably as many place- names ending in -by in the Ormesby district as in all the rest of Norfolk. It would be interesting to compare this district with those of Mersea and Canvey in Hssex. Dr. Jessopp, who is rector of Scarning, East Dereham, observes that all the Norfolk peasantry are perpetually on the move, and it is now extremely hard to find a dozen men in any parish whose great grand- fathers or even grandfathers were living there a century ago. Most permanence of settlement will be found in the fens, including marshland, and the coast. At Sheringham the inhabitants are noted for their small feet, and were, till recently, almost entirely endogamous, NoRTHAMPTON. Places By whom suggested Thorney . ‘ ‘ » : 5 . Dr. Beddoe.

Dorstone is a parish near the Welsh border, where the people are said to possess blended characteristics of both races. On the peculiarities of Herefordshire dialects the late Dr. Havergal and the late Mr. Flavell Edmunds have published works. Bosbury is a little Welsh border town, probably not much disturbed. Professor Rhys remarks that in the Golden Valley the folklore includes a story of a vision, years ago, at one of the churches, of a ghostly congrega- tion, to whom it was being announced who should die during the coming year. The time was Halloween, about midnight. This makes the beginning of the year among the Celts, or the calends of winter, as it is called in Welsh.

There are some common physical types representative of the district, but the field for the examination of villages is much narrowed by the very considerable migration of popula- tion that has taken place during this century. The agricultural popula- tion have to some extent gone to the works, and their places have been filled by English people. In Llanthony and Cwmysy the population got mixed after the establishment of the abbey in the twelfth century. The population of Cusop, near Hay, is, or was not long ago, a representative one.

These will be available for the use of this committee. Avening is in a retired valley, through which a road was, for the first time, made about forty years ago. Until then, so closely did the inhabitants keep themselves that they allowed no one to marry out of the village; they hated strangers, and had a reputation for wild- ness and everything that was bad. They are more civilised now, but still very conservative. Essex, Places By whom suggested Mersea Island . : ‘ . ‘ . Mr. Holmes. Canvey Island . Villages on the Roding Castle Hedingham 39 ” ” Mr. W. Cole, Hon. Secretary of the Essex Field Club, states that East Mersea is extremely interesting from the survival there of primitive ways and modes of thought. Being away from the railways and tourist routes, and its people having little intercourse with the outside world, it is a good spot for the study of local folklore. In spots like Mersea and Canvey Islands (as in Sheppey and Thanet, south of the Thames), the Danes were wont to form more or less permanent stations, and Mersea is mentioned as a Danish station in the ‘Saxon Chronicle,’ a.p. 895. The villages on the upper part of the Roding probably furnish the most un- mixed examples of the free Danish population, but on the other hand Mersea and Canvey are free from the later Huguenot element, so strong in Colchester, Bramtree, and other inland districts of the county.

In those named by Mr. Elworthy the people have lived for the most part, for many generations, little mixed. On the other hand, Mr. Bennett states that at Sparkford, thirty-tive miles from Bath, the village of which he is rector, nearly every inhabitant has been changed within his own memory, and the dialect is rapidly disappearing.

As to each of them the great majority were related, and the family feeling was remarkably strong: they sympathised in each other’s joys and sorrows, and reciprocally borrowed and lent to a strange extent. Vessels from Appledore were manned by relatives almost entirely, so far as the coasting trade went, and the large brigs and barques that were in the timber trade between Bristol and Canada, or which carried emigrants, were largely commanded by Appledore captains and manned by Appledore crews, the men often objecting to the admission of a ‘stranger.’ These men are largely descendants of those who vexed the Spaniards and manned the Bideford whaling fleet in or about the time of Queen Elizabeth, which fleet was the next to that of Hull in import- ance. While Kilkhampton (in North Cornwall) was noted for its Puritan spirit, Appledore was looked upon forty years ago by the people of that neighbourhood as being a place in which no one who feared the Lord would live. There were many alive at that time who recollected the fact of being taught to pray that God would send a ship ashore before morn- ing. The Appledore men were, however, more noted than the North Cornishmen for first saving life. Seventy to fifty years ago the men of Appledore used to fearlessly venture ‘over the bar’ in the worst weather in order to rescue crews. They had no lifeboats, but rowed out in long eight- to twelve-oared galleys. The Appledore people spoke a well-marked variety of the Devonshire dialect. Schools have now almost destroyed it, the result being a mongrel speech with a much more decided nasal twang than forty years ago. “ Beer is a fishing and lace-making village on the borders of Dorset and evon. 632 REPORT—1893.

Mr. Fox remarks that there is little doubt that in some Cornish vil- lages, especially in fishing villages, the race has continued for generations without any influx of new blood. In the mining districts the men move about as mines close or open up in different places, and some go abroad to mines and return. Mr. Connock states that previous to about the year 1840 few changes took place among the inhabitants of the whole area of which the town of Helston is the centre. The families comprising the population had been nearly all stationary for generations, and it was not difficult to meet with persons of advanced age who had never travelled beyond the nearest market town. Naturally this condition of things begot a strong love of home, and it is probable that no people, as a whole, possessed a stronger attachment to their native country than Cornishmen, who now seem called upon to be the pioneers of civilisation; and, more than the people of any other province, are scattered over the whole earth. The opening * Agricultural villages. ? Mining villages. 3 Fishing villages. 4 Mining villages in the north and west of Helston. ON THE ETHNOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 633 up of new mining fields has, of course, had most to do with bringing about these new conditions. The ground in Cornwall had been mined for thousands of years, and the extraction of ores from deep mines had become expensive, and made it difficult to compete with new countries, where operations were carried on scarcely beyond the light of day. At first, a few tore themselves from home and gradually, as its necessity be- came apparent, the spirit for emigration has become almost universal, so that it is rare to meet with a young man who does not look forward to the time when he shall have to seek a wider field in which to push his for- tunes than is to be found at home. The spirit of enterprise that began in the mining districts quickly extended all through, and the popula- tion within the last fifty years has in many of the parishes diminished considerably more than one-half. In the Breage mining districts it used to be a subject of remark that ‘the men were like trees,’ tall and finely developed; among them the families of Gundry, Treglohans, Magors, Penhales, and others were well known, and for many years supplied the men that made the Western wrestlers the acknowledged champions of the sport. As in other places, where a number of persons having similar names existed, nicknames or cognomens were common: one of these, ‘ Bendigo,’ from Breage, was that of the discoverer of the famous goldfields in Australia, which promptly took and retained the appellation. Under the ancient system of mining (Mr. Connock further observes), before the introduction of the steam engine made deep mining prac- ticable, the business of farming was generally combined with it, the late summer and autumn, when the springs became low and the work in the fields for the year nearly completed, being devoted to the mining. It is possible, he thinks, that the more recent practice of continuous employ- ment in deep mines may have had in some cases a deteriorating effect upon the race. The small area of the enclosures in West Cornwall indi- cates the way in which the fields were gradually reclaimed from the waste by hand labour. There are faint traditions of the former existence of a race of large men once living in the locality. During some repairs to the chancel of the church at Wendron about 1860 two stone coffins were discovered containing human remains of unusual size. At Breage and Germoe were the homes of the Godolphins, the revivers of mining industry in Cornwall at the close of the fifteenth century; of William Lemon, the great miner and merchant of the early part of the eighteenth century ; and of Edward Pellew, afterwards Viscount Exmouth. In these parishes the steam engine was first applied to mining on a large scale, and afterwards the labours of Arthur Woolf and Thomas Richards largely helped to bring ii to its present perfection. The use of combined cylinders, which has recently effected great economy in marine naviga- tion, was originated and put in practice in the Breage mines by them. The Cornish miners are able mechanics, wonderfully apt at expedients to meet exigencies. The fishing village of Porthleven contains a large and increasing number of families drawing a maintenance from fisheries. They are almost wholly descended from those who have been long resident in the locality, though fishing, as a steady and continuous industry, is a calling of very recent growth. The seine fishery for capturing the shoals of pilchards periodically visiting the coast was formerly one of the great 634 REPORT—1893. industries of the county, but this only required the attention of those engaged during a short time of each year. This form of fishing has now almost entirely disappeared. South of a line drawn across from the town of Helston to the mouth of Helford River, the population of the Lizard peninsula is almost entirely agricultural, and for many centuries has probably had little ad- mixture from any outside source. The prevalence of certain names near the Lizard point has suggested a strain of Spanish extraction. As in the mining districts, emigration has of late years become general, and most of the rising youth look forward to seeking wider fields in foreign lands. During the last half-century each successive census shows a large dimi- nution in the population. The inhabitants are generally robust and, if they escape pulmonary disease, long-lived. The proportion of tall, big men is said to be large, and it is reported that the Meneage Rifle Corps, when standing shoulder to shoulder, occupies more space than an equal number of men of any other corps in the kingdom. About the coast, fishing is carried on to a considerable extent, but most of those engaged follow other pursuits at times when the weather or season is not suitable for that industry. Formerly, when opportunity offered, few of the people objected to a little contraband trading; and during the war it is said that this was winked at by the Government of that day, as the pursuit was thought to be a good training for seamen for the navy, to which, as well as to the army, the whole district furnished a large contingent in proportion to the population. The extension of railways, yearly bringing an increasing number of visitors into the district, cannot fail materially to modify the character of the people. Generally they are intelligent and industrious, and have, probably, throughout the prolonged agricultural depression, maintained their ground as well as any agriculturists in the kingdom. The preva- lence of Methodism has greatly modified their characteristics, a love of reading and desire for information being encouraged and looked for, in the young people especially, as they become identified with the society. Mr. Connock mentions a representative instance of this in the case of the late Mr. Samuel James, of St. Keverne. Of original traditions and beliefs there are but the barest traces re- maining, and these are vanishing. Among a few of the most ignorant a sort of covert faith in charms and witchcraft lingers, which even they are ashamed to acknowledge. Some years since a white witch and wizard contrived to exact contributions from some dupes scattered about. Near Germoe ‘Lane End’ (that is, the road leading from the main road between Helston and Penzance to the church town of Germoe) once lay beside the turnpike road three boulders or stones of about 1 ewt. each. The place is locally called ‘Tre-men-Keverne.’ ‘Tradition says that St. Just once paid a visit to his brother saint at St. Keverne, and was well received and entertained by him. St. Keverne, after the departure of his visitor, discovered that his silver spoons and plate were missing. Very angry at such ingratitude he started off in pursuit, picking up on his way across Crowta Downs the three stones, which he placed in his pocket to be ready for emergencies. The culprit being overtaken and the booty recovered, the stones were dropped, but the principals parted in anger. St. Just told St. Keverne that, although the people of his parish should find mineral, there should never be a regular lode within the sound of his church bells. ‘As for you,’ retorted St. Keverne, ‘although the ON THE ETHNOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 625 people of your parish shall have plenty of fish, they shall never have a harbour to bring them into,’ Both these curses are still in operation. The Tolvan, or holed stone, near Gweek, on the borders of Wendron parish, was formerly in repute as a means of curing weak or rickety infants, who were brought, often from a distance, to be passed through the hole. The stone itself is a large granite slab, formerly lying in an inclined position in the corner of a croft. A cottage having been built on the site, a slice broken off from the stone is now made to do duty as part of the garden wall, the opening in the stone being stuffed with straw or thorns. The Dowsing Rod still finds some who have faith in it. Of this Mr. Connoch has furnished some curious instances. Stories of its success are current, even among the most intelligent. The vicar of Manaccan, Dr. Eagar, states that, while the majority of the inhabitants of the two villages in his parish, Manaccan church town and Helford, are strangers to the village by birth, they are all natives of the Meneage or south country. This district is in many ways so peculiar that an ethnographic survey of the kingdom should certainly contain some account of it. The ‘Meneage’ (i.e, probably ‘stony’ district) consists of twelve parishes lying south of Helford River and a line passing from Gweek at the head of that river through Helston. It is thus the peninsula whose southern point is the Lizard. Dr. Eagar has noticed the existence of a very strongly marked melanochroic type among the inhabitants, and, on inquiry, has found that the persons who represent that type are of families that have belonged to the district as far back as they can trace, though not necessarily to any specified neighbourhood within the district. He has noticed the same type in county Kerry, Ireland. As seen in Cornwall, it is a very handsome type. The number of handsome men in his parish is very remarkable, and, for some curious reason, physical beauty seems commoner there among men than among women. ‘The women of this type are often very handsome too—gipsy-looking, with sallow complexions and very bright eyes. Some of the men of this type look almost like Spaniards. The suggestion that this is due to an intermixture of Spanish blood from the Armada seems to Dr. Eagar to be improbable, and he thinks it due to the greater presence of a non-Aryan element in the population. The physique of the people is good. The men are well built, and many of the women have beautiful figures as well as faces. Phthisis is almost un- known, and death before old age is very rare. Three years ago 10 per cent. of the population of Manaccan (357 in 1881, 379 in 1891) were upwards of seventy, and not one of them was bedridden; one woman, aged eighty-eight, is so now. The dialect still exists among the old people. Plurals in -en are common: a boarded floor, for instance, is ‘the planchen.’ This occurs all over Cornwall. Thus, near Falmouth, the blackthorn blossoms are ‘sloen-blowth.’ . The final verbal -e obtains largely, and has even a living force. ‘All the people do clarké there,’ said a parish clerk of a church where the whole congregation said the responses. So, too, they say ‘to milké’ and ‘to clunké’—.e., to swallow. In the district round Manaccan the bluetit is called ‘ patenapali’; a pallet is a ‘mabyle.’ Among Christian names are many ‘ Hannibals’ ; in the oldest register ‘ Gwalter ’ and ‘ Gwilliam’ often occur; ‘ Loveday’ is not uncommon among girls. Surnames are either place-names, mostly in ‘ Tre-,’ or patronymics, as in Wales, such as Williams, Richards, 636 REPORT—1893. Thomas, Giles, Roberts, James, Rogers (the same family for at least two hundred years). The people are very warm and kindly, quick-witted, and keen. Their faults are characteristically Celtic: they are not very ‘straight,’ and are exceedingly suspicious; they fall out easily among themselves, but do not make up again easily; feuds go on from year to year, and last out lifetimes. They have a very curious habit of giving, by preference, any reason for their action except the one that has really determined it, and one of their own proverbs credits them with ‘ wearing their corns outside their boots.’ The fishing villages are said to contain a distinct race, and their inhabitants differ in character from the inland folk, The non-fisherman Cornishman, even when he lives on the sea- shore, is afraid of the sea, and credits it with containing, just below low- water mark, ‘ villos’ and sand-cliffs and other dangers. Dr. Hagar con- siders that the results of close intermarriage in the fishing villages are lamentable. Newlyn, near Penzance, contains two villages—Street- Nowyn (i.e., ‘newyn’ or new) and Newlyn Town. If a Street-Nowyn woman marries a Newlyn Town man her own relatives will not visit her, and a man from one village passing through the other gets hooted in the street. The Cornish Celt is prolific and exceedingly prone to sexual irregularity. Dorset. Places By whom suggested Litton Cheney . : : : . . Mr. Elworthy.

Mr. Mansel states that in 1891 Puncknoll had a population of 428, decreasing, as it was over 480 in 1881. The inhabitants are partly agricultural and partly fishing (seine for mackerel, herring, and sprats). The village is essentially old-fashioned, having been ‘left’ by the rail- ways; and for nearly a century—viz., from 1752 to 1844—the living was held by the lords of the manor, three successive rectors, named George Frome. Old customs have been preserved, and there are many small freeholds in the parish. Physically the inhabitants are an exceptionally fine race, and very musical. HAMPSHIRE.

The ON THE ETHNOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 637 valley runs from (say) Botley to Bishop’s Waltham through Meonstoke, Carhampton (in the church of which parish there is an unspoilt bit of Anglo-Saxon work), Droxford, West Meon, and East Meon. The chief part of the valley is seven or eight miles from any railway. The New Forest also contains some very primitive places. The Rev. G. N. God- win, of Hast Boldre, a parish seven miles from the nearest station, believes that his village, which has a distinctly Celtic name, is in the main a Celtic community almost untouched by the outside world. There are numerous barrows all around, and he believes them to be literally the graves of the leaders among his parishioners’ ancestors. In no other way can many traits of character which prevail among them be under- stood. One of the tumuli is known as ‘ Colt Pixey’s cave.’ Mr. Clutterbuck, who is rector of Penton Mewsey, states that the Test valley parishes, including the ‘ Anne’ lot round Andover, have # character of their own. The valley is very clearly marked out by the high ground enclosing it; a tribal boundary runs on one side, on the opposite Wiltshire joins it; and the valley is the limit of the manor and hundred (with foreign hundred) of Andover. Of this manor the rolls exist back to an early date, and the tythingmen’s returns are in many cases preserved, so that by them, as far back as the sixteenth century, and by the rolls of the gild merchant to a much earlier date, the names of pretty well all the inhabitants are known. The migration from village to village probably greatly exceeded the emigration from the valley and manor itself. The existence of the same name through a long period is very striking in the corporation records. The dialect is marked more by grammatical structure than by difference of verbal forms. There are some barrows (two in Penton Mewsey), a dyke, some camps, and two intersecting Roman ways. There is a very interesting chain of evidence of the growth of local government. Not only does historical evidence point to the commencement of the port of Andover, but the configuration of the ground upon which the town is built and that of the town itself show how the port was fenced in. The parish of Penton Mewsey, which was a separate manor, unlike the rest in the valley, has 274 inhabitants. Sussex. Place By whom suggested Rye . ‘ ° : . : : . Dr. Beddoe.

The peasants live chiefly in home- steads, scattered over a larger or smaller area, The population of Gower is divided by a sharply defined line between the English and Welsh. This line corresponds roughly with the line dividing the coal measures from the limestone. On the latter, the southern side, are descendants of immigrant settlers from the opposite coast, or, as is sometimes thought, from Flanders, who appear to have driven out the Welsh. They speak English exclusively; they have well-recognisable charac- teristics; and their families have lived on the same spot, or at least in the same neighbourhood, for many generations. On the northern side, the less fertile, and formerly in every way the less desirable, the Welsh- speaking inhabitants remain, having distinct characteristics. Of late years there has been an influx of foreign population around the mines and works, but it is possible there are still spots where the old inhabit- ants remain almost unadulterated. Ystradfellte, a small village at the top of the valley through which the Mellte, a tributary of the Neath River, runs, is the centre of a very secluded wild and rugged district. The people are Welsh mountaineers, engaged in pastoral and agricultural work. A number of interesting traditions were collected not very far away by a lady and sent to Croker, and they appear in the third volume of his ‘ Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland.’ Mr. Hartland thinks it likely, from his own experience, that many still survive. Mr. Williams says that, though the extraordinary growth of the _ county during the last twenty years has transformed the villages of the mining districts into towns, there are still some left in the hilly parts, and there are very old and curious villages in the Vale of Glamorgan which remain very much what they were many generations back. For all Welsh antiquities‘ Archzeologia Cambrensis’ should be consulted. NORTH WALES. CARNARVON. Places By whom suggested Llanfihangel-y-Pennant . A 0 . Archdeacon Thomas.

Christison remarks that in most parts of the Scottish lowlands, since the introduction of railways, there has been a great shifting of the population and an inroad of Irish, which, with the almost complete Anglicising of the upper classes in the country districts, is rapidly extin- guishing the Scottish character of Scotland ; but there are plenty of quiet, retired villages which still retain something of their primitive population. At Dundee intermarriage between the Irish and Scots, which at first was unusual, has now become quite common. IRELAND. This part of the United Kingdom will be investigated by the Sub- Committee for Ireland under the auspices of the Royal Irish Academy. Communications for the Sub-Committee should be addressed to Professor Haddon, as secretary, at the Royal College of Science, Dublin. The preceding tables show that in the islands of Great Britain there are more than 250 places which, in the opinion of competent authorities, would be suitable for ethnographic survey. The opinions of the eminent persons who have favoured the Committee with this advice show that, notwithstanding the rapid changes which have taken place during the last fifty years in all parts of the country, much valuable material remains for the Committee to work upon. They confirm the considerations which were urged upon the Association when the appoint- ment of this committee was asked for as to the necessity of proceeding with the work without delay if it is to be carried into effect at all. The Committee have therefore prepared, for the use of those who have expressed their readiness to help in this matter, the following circular letter and forms of schedule:— 1 Fishers’ villages. 1893, va 642 REPORT—1893. “Dear Sir,—Referring to our previous circular letter, and to your obliging offer of assistance in answer to it, we have now the pleasure to enclose Forms of Schedule, which will, we trust, enable you to furnish the desired information with respect to the district mentioned by your- self. ‘You will observe that a separate page or pages of foolscap has been prepared for each head of the inquiries, on which are questions and hints prepared by a member of the Committee, who has undertaken to digest the answers in respect of his particular branch, the lower portion of each page, to which should be added as many separate sheets of foolscap as may be required, being left for your answers. And that, with regard to the physical observations, a single page of foolscap has been set aside for the measurements of each individual to be observed. We shall be obliged by a note from you, stating how many individuals you think you will have the opportunity of photographing and measuring, in order that we may supply you with the requisite number of copies of the form. ‘We are sure you will excuse our urging what may at first sight appear to be trivial details, but which are in reality of great practical importance to those who have to arrange and consult a large collection of commu- nications from different persons. These are that the communications should all be written on foolscap paper, and that the writing should be on one side only of the page, and should never run so near the margin as to be an obstacle to future binding. ‘The Committee are satisfied that the value of the returns will be much reduced if they do not give information under all the several heads. If it should happen, therefore, that your own pursuits or means of infor- mation do not enable you to fill up the whole of the forms desired, they would take it as a particular favour if you could induce friends to supply the missing details, and thus to render the information complete. ‘The Committee, in addressing you individually, wish to disclaim any idea of interfering with the action of local Societies, from many of which, on the contrary, they have reason to expect very valuable assistance. If it should suit your convenience to present to your local Society an even fuller account of your observations than may be necessary to comply with the requirements of this Committee, such a course would be highly desirable, and it is hoped that the local Societies will, on the other hand, give to the observers in their several districts all the encouragement and moral assistance that may be found practicable.— We are, dc.’ 1. Physical Types of the Inhabitants. PHorocraPHic Portraits. Facial characteristics are conveniently recorded by means of photo- graphs, taken in the three ways explained below. Amateurs in photo- graphy are now so numerous that it is hoped the desired materials may be abundantly supplied. At least twelve more or less beardless male adults and twelve female adults should be photographed. It will add much to the value of the portrait if these same persons have also been mea- sured. The photographs should be mounted on cards, each card bearing the name of the district, and a letter or number to distinguish the indi- vidual portraits ; the cards to be secured together by a thread passing a ON THE ETHNOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 643 loosely through a hole in each of their upper left-hand corners. Three sorts of portrait are wanted, as follows:— (a) A few portraits of such persons as may, in the opinion of the person who sends them, best convey the peculiar characteristics of the race. These may be taken in whatever aspect shall best display those characteristics, and should be accompanied by a note directing attention to them. (b) At least twelve portraits of the left side of the face of as many different adults of the same sex. These must show in each case the ewact profile, and the hair should be so arranged as fully to show the ear. All the persons should occupy in turn the same chair (with movable blocks on the seat, to raise the sitters’ heads to a uniform height), the camera being fixed throughout in the same place. The portraits to be on such a scale that the distance between the top of the head and the bottom of the chin shall in no case be less than 14 inch. Smaller portraits can hardly be utilised in any way. If the incidence of the light be not the same in all cases, they cannot be used to make composite portraits, By attending to the following hints the successive sitters may be made to occupy so nearly the same position that the camera need hardly be re- focussed. In regulating the height of the head-it is tedious and clumsy to arrange the proper blocks on the seat by trial. The simpler plan is to make the sitter first take his place on a separate seat with its back to the wall, having previously marked on the wall, at heights corresponding to those of the various heights of head, the numbers of the blocks that should be used in each case. The appropriate number for the sitter is noted, and the proper blocks are placed on the chair, with the assurance that what was wanted has been correctly done. The distance of the sitter from the camera can be adjusted with much precision by fixing a looking- glass in the wall (say five feet from his chair), so that he can see the reflection of his face in it. The backward or forward position of the sitter is easily controlled by the operator, if he looks at the sitter’s head, over the middle of the camera, against a mark on the wall beyond. It would be a considerable aid in making measurements of the features of the portrait, and preventing the possibility of mistaking the district of which the sitter is a representative, if a board be fixed above his head in the plane of his profile, on which a scale of inches is very legibly marked, and the name of the district written. This board should be so placed as just to fall within the photographic plate. The background should be of a medium tint (say a sheet of light brown paper pinned against the wall beyond), very dark and very light tints being both unsuitable for com- posite photography. (c) The same persons who were taken in side face should be subse- quently photographed in strictly full face. They should occupy a different chair, the place of camera being changed in accordance. Time will be greatly saved if all the side faces are taken first, and then all the full faces; unless, indeed, there happen to be two operators, each with his own camera, ready to take the same persons in turn. The remarks just made in respect to b are, in principle, more or less applicable to the present case; but the previous method of insuring a uniform distance between the sitter and the camera ceases to be appropriate. It is proposed that composites of some of these groups shall be taken by Mr. Gaitor, so far as his time allows. mimes 644 REPORT—1893. Physical.

The instruments required for these measurements are—Garson’s ‘Traveller’s anthropometer, manufactured by Aston and Mander, 25 Old Compton Street, London, price 3/. 3s. complete; without box footpiece 27. 10s.; astandard for measuring height, or a tape-measure fastened vertically on a wall, with the zero just level with the floor; a pair of Broca’s callipers; and a Dublin boxwood craniometer for the head measurements, manufactured by Robinson and Sons, Grafton Street, Dublin, price 17. 10s. Height standing.—The subject should stand perfectly upright, with his back to the standard or fixed tape, and his eyes directed horizontally forwards. Care should be taken that the standard or support for the tape is vertical. The height is measured by placing a carpenter’s square or a large set-square against the support in such a manner that the lower edge is at right angles to the scale; the square should be placed well above the head, and then brought down till its lower edge feels the resistance of the top of the head. The observer should be careful that the height should be taken in the middle line of the head. If the subject should object to take off his boots, measure the thickness of the boct-heel and deduct from stature indi- cated in boots. Height sitting—For this the subject should be seated on a stool or low bench, having behind it a graduated rod or tape withits zero level with the seat ; he should sit perfectly erect, with his back well in against the scale. Then proceed as in measuring the height standing. The square should be employed here also if the tape against a wall is used. Length of head.—Measured from the projection between the eye-brows (glabella) to the most distant point at the back of the head in the middle line. For this measurement the callipers are used, and care should be taken to keep the end on the glabella steady by holding it there with the fingers while the other extremity is searching for the maximum projection of the head behind. Breadth of head.—The maximum breadth of head is measured at right angles to the length. Care must be taken to hold the instrument so that both its points are exactly on the same horizontal level. Height of head—The head should be so held that the eyes look straight forwards. The callipers of Garson’s anthropometer should be held vertically in front of the face of the subject, and the upper straight arm should be extended as far as possible, and placed along the middle line of the head; the shorter lower arm should be pushed up to the lower surface of the chin. Face length.—This is measured from the slight furrow which marks the root of the nose to the under part of the chin. Should there be two furrows, as is often the case, measure from the upper one. Upper face length.—From root of nose to the separation between the two central front teeth at their roots. Face breadth.—Maximum breadth of face between the bony projections in front ef the ears. Bigonial breadth.—Breadth of face at the angles of the lower jaw below the ears. Nose length.—F rom the furrow at root of nose to the angle between the nose and the upper lip in the middle line. Breadth of nose.—Measured horizontally across the nostrils at the widest part, but without compressing the nostrils. Internal bi-ocular breadth.—Width between the internal angles of the eyes. While this is being measured the subject should shut his eyes. Head height—This is taken with the Dublin craniometer, the plugs of which should be well inserted into the ear-holes, so as to press against the bony wall, and the sliding indicator brought down on the top of the head, at a point vertical to the ear-hole, the head being so held that the eyes are directed to a point at the same level as themselves, #.¢., the plane of vision should be exactly horizontal. Auriculo-nasal radius.—From centre of ear-hole to root of nose. Auriculo-alveolar radius —From centre of ear-hole to gum at root of front teeth of the upper jaw. 646 REPORT—1893. Auriculo-mental radius.—From centre of ear-hole to point of chin. For these three measurements the Dublin craniometer should be used.

If possible, the subject’s weight should be obtained, and recorded in the place set apart for remarks. The observer is recommended to procure ‘ Notes and Queries on Anthropology,’ the Anthropological Institute, 3 Hanover Square, London ; net price, 3s. 6d. The detailed measurements, for which a special schedule is provided for each person measured, form the most important part of our anthropo- metric investigations. In addition to this, however, we would impress upon observers the necessity for far more numerous observations than can be collected by the former method. If these are made in any part of the country whenever opportunity presents itself, we shall not only have a mass of valuable material, but we shall have suggestions as to where it might be profitable to prosecute more detailed investigation. We would recommend observers to attend village fairs and festivals, and to provide themselves with a sufficient number of marking cards. It would be advisable for two or more observers to work independently on the same occasion ; the average results of two or more observers would be of more value than the report of a single observer. On the back of each card should be written the general impression, not only of the hair and eye colour, but also of other characteristics and peculiarities ; this should be recorded immediately after the observation has been made, and not from memory after an interval. It must be distinctly understood that this is to be regarded as sup- plemental to the more detailed measurements, and that the latter should receive most attention. The anthropological data most readily obtainable are the colour of the hair and eyes. The marking cards introduced by Dr. Beddoe are in every way admirably adapted for field work, since they are small enough to fit in a waistcoat pocket. As the noting of an individual can be made by a single pencil mark, they admit of rapid and accurate use in situations where writing would be difficult. The cards are marked as in the diagram on page 647, which, also, will be found to be a convenient size. Each card is divided vertically into three main divisions for eye colour: light, medium, and dark respectively. The three spaces thus formed are further subdivided vertically into five columns for the five hair colours : red, fair, brown, dark, and black. These are indicated by the letters R, F, B, D, and N at the heads of the columns. The card is subdivided by a horizontal line into two equal parts—the upper for males, the lower for females. It is convenient to leave a space at the end of the card for the ON THE ETHNOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 647 name of the locality and the date. The back of the card can be utilised for further particulars. The initialling of the card by the observer indicates that the record is completed for that card. Light eyes Medium eyes Dark eyes R|F;|B/D/|N F/B;D/N|R|F/|B|D/N i] | Care should be taken to note only such cases as can be seen clearly at close quarters, and in a good light—a precaution very necessary for the estimation of doubtful tints, especially of the eyes. Cases in which the hair has begun to turn grey should be excluded. Adolescents who appear to be under eighteen years of age should be noted on special cards. The eyes are classed as follows :— Tight.—All blue, bluish grey, and light grey eyes. Medium.—Dark grey, brownish grey, very light hazel or yellow, hazel grey (formed by streaks of orange radiating into a bluish grey field), and most shades of green. Dark.—The so-called black eyes, and those usually called brown and dark hazel. The following are the hair colours :— Red.—All shades which approach more nearly to red than to brown, yellow, or flaxen. Fair.—Flaxen, yellow, golden, some of the lightest shades of brown, and some pale auburns in which the red hue is not very conspicucus. Brown.—The lighter shades of brown. Dark.—The darker shades of brown. Black (Niger)—Which includes not only the jet black which has retained the same colour from childhood, and is generally very coarse and hard, but also that very intense brown which occurs in people who in childhood have had dark brown (or in some cases deep red) hair, but which in the adult cannot be distinguished from coal-black except in a very good light. The foregoing scheme is taken from Dr. Beddoe’s ‘The Races of Britain ; a Contribution to the Anthropology of Western Europe’ (1885). It might be advisable to discriminate in some way (say by making a different mark in the N column) between jet black and black brown. The collections under this head will be digested by Dr. Garson and Professor Haddon. 648 REPORT— 1893. 2. Current Traditions and Beliefs. FOLKLORE. Every item of folklore should be collected, consisting of customs, traditions, superstitions, sayings of the people, games, and any supersti- tions connected with special days, marriages, births, deaths, cultivation of the land, election of local officers, or other events. Each item should be written legibly on a separate piece of paper, and the name, occupa- tion, and age of the person from whom the information is obtained should in all cases be carefully recorded. Ifa custom or tradition relates to a particular place or object, especially if it relates to a curious natural feature of the district, or to an ancient monument or camp, some infor- mation should be given about such place or monument. Sometimes a custom, tradition, or superstition may relate to a particular family or group of persons, and not generally to the whole population; and in this case care should be exercised in giving necessary particulars. Any objects which are used for local ceremonies, such as masks, ribbons, coloured dresses, &c., should be described accurately, and, if possible, photographed ; or might be forwarded to London, either for permanent location, or to be drawn or photographed. Any superstitions that are believed at one place and professedly disbelieved at another, or the exact opposite believed, should be most carefully noted. The following questions are examples of the kind and direction of the inquiries to be made, and are not intended to confine the inquirer to the special subjects referred to in them, nor to limit the replies to categorical answers.

Do not, if it can be helped, let your informant know the nature of your observations. The true dialect speaker will not speak his dialect freely or truly unless he is unaware that his utterance is watched. In some cases persons of the middle class can afford correct information, and there is less risk in allowing them to know your purpose. 2. Observe the use of consonants. Note, for example, if » and z are used where the standard pronunciation has f ands. ‘This is common in the south. 3. Observe very carefully the nature of the vowels. This requires practice in uttering and appreciating vowel sounds, some knowledge of phonetics, and a good ear. 4. Record all observations in the same standard phonetic alphabet, viz., that given in Sweet’s ‘Primer of Phonetics.’ A few modifications in this may be made, viz., ng for Sweet’s symbol for the sound of ng in thing; sh for his symbol for the sh in she ; ch for his symbol for the ch in choose; th for the th in thin; dh for the th in then. If these modifications are used say so. But the symbol j must only be used for the y in you, viz., as in German. If the sound of 7 in just is meant Sweet’s symbol should be used. On the whole it is far better to use no modifications at all. Sweet’s symbols are no more difficult to use than any others after a very brief practice, such as every observer of phonetics must necessarily go through. 5. If you find that you are unable to record sounds according to the above scheme it is better to make no return at all. Incorrect returns are misleading in the highest degree, most of all such as are recorded in the ordinary spelling of literary English. 6. The chief vowel-sounds to be tested are those which occur in the following words of English origin, viz., man, hard, name, help, meat (spelt with ea), green (spelt with ee), hill, wine, fire, soft, hole, oak (spelt with oa), cool, sun, house, day, law, or words involving similar sounds. Also words of French origin, such as just, master (a before s), grant, (a before n), try, value, measure, bacon, pay, chair, journey, pity, beef, clear, profit, boil, roast, pork, false, butcher, fruit, blue, pure, poor, or words in- volving similar sounds. The best account of these sounds, as tested for a Yorkshire dialect, is to be found in Wright’s ‘ Dialect of Windhill’ (English Dialect Society, 1892), published by Kegan Paul at 12s. 6d. Sweet’s symbols are here employed throughout. , pres ‘Primer of Phonetics’ is published by the Oxford Press at 8. 6d. A list of text-words (of English origin) is given at p. 42 of Skeat’s ‘Primer of English Etymology,’ published by the Oxford Press at 1s. 6d. 652 REPORT—1893. 7. The task of collecting words which seem to be peculiarly dialectal (a to form or meaning, or both) has been performed so thoroughly that it is useless to record what has been often already recorded. See, for example, Halliwell’s (or Wright’s) ‘ Provincial Glossary’ and the publi- cations of the English Dialect Society. In many cases, however, the pronunciation of such words has not been noted, and may be carefully set down with great advantage. The Rev. Professor Skeat has been kind enough to draw up the fore- going directions, and the collections under this head will be submitted to him. 4, Monwments and other Remains of Ancient Culture. Plot on a map, describe, furnish photographs on sketches, and state the measurements and names (if any) of these, according to the following classification :— Drift implements. Caves and their contents. Stone circles. Monoliths. Lake dwellings. Camps. Enclosures. Collections of hut circles. Cromlechs. Cairns. Sepulchral chambers. Barrows, describing the form, and distinguishing those which have not been opened. Inscribed stones. Figured stones. Stone crosses. Castra (walled). Harthen camps. Foundations of Roman buildings. Cemeteries (what modes of sepulture). Burials, inhumation or cremation. Detailed contents of graves, Types of fibulee and other ornaments. Coins. Implements and weapons, stone, bronze, or iron. Other antiquities. A list of place-names within the area. No modern names required. Special note should be made of British, Roman, and Saxon interments occurring in the same field, and other signs of successive occupation. Reference should be made to the article ‘ Archeology ’ in ‘ Notes and Queries on Anthropology,’ p. 176. These relate to England only. The sub-committees for other parts of the United Kingdom will prepare modified lists. The collections under this head will be digested by Mr. Milman and Mr. Payne. . 5. Historical Evidence as to Continuity of Race. Mention any historical events connected with the place, especially such as relate to early settlements in it or more recent incursions of alien immigrants. State the nature of the pursuits and occupations of the inhabitants. State if any precautions have been taken by the people to keep them- selves to themselves; if the old village tenures of land have been pre- served. Has any particular form of religious belief been maintained ? ON THE ETHNOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 653 Are the people constitutionally averse to change ? What are the dates of the churches and monastic or other ancient buildings or existing remains of former buildings ? _Do existing buildings stand on the sites of older ones ? How far back can particular families or family names be traced ? Can any evidence of this be obtained from the manor rolls; from the parish registers; from the tythingmen’s returns; from guild or corporation records ? Are particular family names common ? In what county or local history is the best description of the place to be found ? Evidences of historical continuity of customs, dress, dwellings, im- plements, &c., should be noted. The collections under this head will be digested by Mr. Brabrook. The Committee recommend that they be reappointed, and that a grant be made to defray the expenses already incurred and to carry on their work. The North-Western Tribes of Canada.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Dr. E. B. TyLor (Chairman), Mr. G. W. Buoxam (Secretary), Dr. G. M. Dawson, Mr. R. G. Hauipurton, and Mr. H. Hate, appointed to investigate the physical characters, languages, and industrial and social condition of the North- Western Tribes of the Dominion of Canada. Since the death of Sir Daniel Wilson the work of the Committee in America has been directed by Mr. Horatio Hale and Dr. G. M. Dawson; during the past year, however, the state of Mr. Hale’s health has rendered it imperative for him to give up the active part which he has heretofore taken in the work of the Committee, and for which they feel that they are deeply indebted to him. The absence of Dr. Dawson from America on business connected with the Behring Sea Arbitration and the fact that the whole of Dr. Boas’s time has been occupied at the World’s Columbian Exhibition at Chicago have rendered it impossible for the Committee to carry out their original intention of terminating their work with this year’s report. A considerable amount of material has already been collected by Dr. Boas and Dr. Chamberlain on behalf of the Committee, and this they hope to be able to publish next year. The Committee ask for reappointment, and, in order that they may be enabled to draw up a final report and bring their work to a close in a satisfactory manner, they ask that they may be permitted to retain and utilise any portion of last year’s grant that may remain in their hands after the payment of expenses for which they have already made them- selves liable. 654 REPORT—1893. Anthropometric Laboratory.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Sir W. H. Flower (Chairman), Dr. J. G. Garson (Secretary), Mr. G. W. Bioxam, Professor A. C. Happon, and Dr. WILBER- FORCE SMITH. (Drawn up by Dr. J. G. Garson, Secretary.) Tur Committee have to report that at the Edinburgh meeting of the Association last year excellent accommodation was provided for the Anthropometric Laboratory near to the meeting-room of the Anthropo- logical Section. The services of a clerk were, as usual, placed at the disposal of the Committee, and by the kind permission of Mr. Francis Galton those of the official measurer at his laboratory in South Kensing- ton Museum were again available for measuring the members of the Association who visited the laboratory. The schedule of observations and measurements made on each person examined was the same as has been used for several years past by the Committee, and includes the sex, age, birthplace, colour of eyes and hair, profile of nose, height when standing, sitting, and kneeling, vertical projection from the vertex of the head to the tragus, mouth, and chin, length and breadth of the head, length and breadth of nose, length of cubit and hand, span of arms, weight in ordinary clothing, strength of pull with each hand, vital capacity of lungs, strength of vision, sense of colour, and in males the circumference of the chest during forced inspi- ration and expiration respectively. Since the close of the meeting the observations recorded during it have been carefully worked up, under tke direction of the Secretary, after the plan which has been adopted in previous years. The Committee ask to be reappointed and to have a sum of 5/. again placed at their disposal. The following are the results of the observations made on the 55 males and 49 females who presented themselves for measurement at the Labora- tory during the course of the meeting. Age.—The males varied in age from 17 to 72 years. Of these 4 were under 20 years, 19 were 20 and under 30 years, 16 were 30 and under 40 years, 4 were 40 and under 50 years, 6 were 50 and under 60 years, 4 were 60 and under 70, and 2 were 70 and 72 years. The ages of the females varied from 16 to 59 years. Four were under 20 years, 16 were 20 and under 30 years, 15 were 30 and under 40 years, 7 were 40 and under 50 years, and 7 were 50 and under 60 years. pet oe the ages of 24 and 56 there were 38 males and 40 females. Ten of the males and 8 of the females were below 24 years of age, and 7 of the males and one female were over 56 years of age; 70 per cent. of the males and 82 per cent. of the females were fully developed and in the prime of life. Birthplace and Residence.—Thirty-eight per cent. of the males were Scotch by birth, and44 were English. The remainder were Irish and persons born in British dependencies, or foreigners from various parts of Europe. Of the females 27 per cent. were Scotch by birth, 56 per cent. English, 8 per cent. Irish, principally from Belfast, and therefore ON THE WORK OF THE ANTHROPOMETRIC LABORATORY. 655 probably of the same racial stock as the Scotch ; 8 were born in British dependencies. The majority of both sexes measured were town dwellers, 69 per cent. of the males and 77 per cent. of the females being townspeople ; while 31 per cent. of the former and 27 per cent. of the latter had lived their lives in the country. It may be stated that residents of smaller towns were classed as country dwellers; only those who had lived the greater part of their lives in Jarge towns or cities were included as town dwellers. Occupation.—The larger proportion of the males were engaged in professional pursuits. Colour of Hyes——The colour of the iris has been classified under the three categories, light, medium, dark. In the males 58 per cent. had light eyes, 16 per cent. medium, and 26 per cent. dark. In the females 57 per cent. had light eyes, 27 per cent. medium, and 16 per cent. dark. Oolour of Hair.—Dividing the colour of the hair into the divisions light, medium, and dark—including red in the light group, dark brown and black in the dark group, and omitting all cases of grey hair due to senile or other changes—31 per cent. of the males had light hair, 47 per cent. medium, and 22 per cent. dark ; while in the females the percentages were 22 light, 37 medium, and 41 dark. ati Light | Medium | Dark Tyt| oat. 7) (pas |ictdheditelld Digicotes Hi ae alpine Males. . .| 14 | 15 3 1 7 1 2 4 8 Females. : 11 10 7 0 6 7 0 2 6 The above table gives the various combinations of colour of eyes and hair met with. The top headings (light, medium, and dark) refer to the colour of the eyes, while the letter headings (L., M., D.) refer to the colour of the hair. The numbers in the table show the frequency in which the several combinations occurred. Profile Curve of Nose.—The outline of the nose as seen in profile was straight in 76 per cent. of the males and in 73 per cent. of the females ; it was of the concave variety in 5 per cent. of the males and in 10 per cent. of the females; in 18 per cent. of the males and in 16 per cent. of the females one or other of the three forms of convex variety occurred. Of these the sinuous form occurred in 11 per cent. of the males and in 8 per cent. of the females, the aquiline in 3°6 per cent. of the males and in 2 per cent. of the females, and the high-bridged in 3°6 per cent. of the males and in 6:1 per cent. of the females. Illustrations of these varieties of form of the nasal profile are to be found in ‘ Notes and Queries on Anthropology,’ Plate IV. (2nd edition), which was used in recording the observations. MEASUREMENTS. 1. Height when Standing.—F¥or the sake of convenience persons were measured with their boots or shoes on their feet, but to ascertain their actual height the thickness of the heel was also measured and deducted 656 REPORT—1893. from the total indicated height. ‘The stature thus obtained, as has been proved from many observations, does not err in being more than it really is, but, if anything, rather less, because usually the place where the heel of the foot rests is more or less hollowed out in the boot below the external heel level. The stature of the males and females at the 25th, 50th, and 75th grades, according to Mr. Francis Galton’s method of working out these statistics, also the probable deviation (indicated by the letter Q) which when added to the figures of the 25th grade gives the corrected mean, are as follows :— a 26th Grade | 50thGrade | 7éthGrade | Q | Conected Mid- Males . . | 1,692 mm. 1,738 mm. 1,773 mm. 41 1,733 mm.

Height when Kneeling—This measurement is of itself unimportant, but in relation to the previous measurements is very important, as it enables us to calculate the length of each of the two segments included in the length of the lower extremities, namely, the thigh and leg with the foot. It is as follows :— = 25th Grade 50th Grade 75th Grade Q | Corrected Mean Males 2 : 1,272 1,300 1,331 29 Females . é 1,189 1,215 1,242 26 4, Length of Lower Limbs.—If the height when sitting be subtracted from the height when standing, the difference between these measurements will indicate the amount contributed to the stature by the lower limbs. It is as follows :— — 25th Grade | 50th Grade 75th Grade Q Corrected Mean Males i : 804 824 834 15 819 Females . ‘ 727 745 759 16 743 5. Length of Leg and Height of Foot.—This has been obtained by subtracting the height when kneeling from the height when standing.

Length of the Thigh Portion of the Lower Limb.—This measurement has been obtained by subtracting the length of the leg and foot portion from the total length of the lower limbs, and is as follows :— : _ 25th Grade | 450th Grade 75th Grade Q Corrected Mean Males ‘ ; 384 388 Females . ‘ 351 358 392 4 " 388 363 6 357 The proportions contributed by the different parts which go to make up the corrected mean stature of the males from the previous figures are as follows: head, neck, and trunk, 52°7 per cent. ; the lower limbs from the level of the tuber ischia downwards, 47°3 per cent. Of the latter the thigh portion contributes 22'4 per cent. of the stature, and the leg and height of the foot 24°9 per cent. In the females the head, neck, and trunk contribute 53°6 per cent., and the lower limbs 46'4 per cent. Of the latter the thigh portion forms 22°83 per cent., and the leg and height of the foot 24-1 per cent. of the stature. 7. Vertical Projection of Head.—This is the vertical length of the head from its vertex to the under-surface of the chin, and is as follows :— = 25th Grade | 50th Grade | 75th Grade | Q” | Comered Mean Males . .| 2080 219° 2298 | 109 218-9 Females . : 206°4 214-0 223°4 8-5 214°9 The small difference between the vertical length of the head in the males and females is doubtless due to the fashion in which the latter dress the hair, elevating it on the top of the head, which renders it diffi- cult to obtain this measurement with accuracy. This remark is applicable also to all measurements made from the vertex. In such measurements as the stature, where the figures are much greater than those of the head, the error is proportionately less, and consequently less observable. 8. Vertical Length from Vertex to Mouth.—This is measured ‘to the line ‘of junction of the upper and lower lips in the mesial line of the head. ss 25th Grade | 50th Grade | 75thGrade | Q | Competed Mean Males . .| 1647 1747 1853 | 108 175-2 Females . . 165°9 1763 184:3 9-2 175-1 Tn this measurement the remarks regarding the error in measurements from the vertex of the head in the females is still more obvious. 9. Vertical Length from Vertex to Tragus.—The lower point of measure- ment is at the pit at the upper edge of the root of the zygomatic arch, and corresponds to the middle of the tragus; it is strictly analogous to the upper edge or border of the meatus auditorius, and represents the height of the cranium from this point. — 25th Grade | 50th Grade 75th Grade Q | Corrected Mean Males : A 129°8 132:7 140°6 5:4 135°2 Females . . 125-1 13071 133°4 4°2 129°3 1893.

(d) The Maximum Granial Length to total vertical head-length (=100) ON THE WORK OF THE ANTHROPOMETRIC LABORATORY. 659 is 90°7 in the males and 87 in the females. If the index is reversed— that is to say, the maximum length of the cranium is taken as 100—it is 110°3 in the males and 101-4 in the females. (e) The Canon of Proportion of the vertical length of head (vertex to) chin) to the stature (=100) is in the males 12-63 per cent., and in the females 13-42 per cent. . 13. Nasal Indew.—The variations of this index are very similar in both sexes, ranging from 45°6 to 75 in the males, and from 47:1 to 76°7 in the females. —_ 25th Grade | 50th Grade 75th Grade Q Corrected Mean Males : 3 51:3 57:3 62°1 5:4 56°7 Females . > 49°6 54'8 62:3 63 559 14, Face Index.—The index of the face which the Committee have for some years past adopted is obtained from the length of the face, measured directly with callipers from the root of the nose to the under-surface of the chin (=100), and the maximum bizygomatic breadth of the face.

By subtracting the corrected mean length of hand from the corrected mean length of the cubit, the mean length of the forearm is obtained. In the males it is 270°6 mm., and in the females 244'4 mm. ; the length of the hand to the forearm in the former is 72, and in the latter 71:2. The canon of proportion of the forearm to the stature is 15°6 per cent. in the males, and in the females 15:3 per cent. uu2 660 REPORT—1893. 17.

Taking the stature as 100, the pro- portion which the span of arms bears to it in the males is 100°2, and in the females 99. In 9 males the span of arms was shorter than the stature, but in all the others it was greater. In the females, on the other hand, in 27 cases the span of arms was less than the stature, in 18 it was greater, and in one case the two measurements were equal. 18.

Vision.—The power of vision was tested with Snellen’s test-types placed at a distance of 6 metres from the eye. Hach eye was tested separately ; while one eye was being tested the other was kept open, and a black card was held over it to prevent the type being seen by it. The number of males who could read No. 6 type with both eyes at 6 metres, and whose sight was therefore normal, was 27 out of 55, or 49°] per cent. Of these 17, or 30°9 per cent., were able to read No. 5 type at 6 metres. The females who were able to read No. 6 type with both eyes at 6 metres numbered 22 out of 49, or 44°9 per cent., and of these 13, or 26°5 per cent., were able to read No. 5 type at 6 metres. In a large number of cases in both sexes the vision in the two eyes differed, that of one eye being more defective than that of the other. The time which could be devoted to each candidate was too short to permit of any investigation as to the cause of the deficiencies in vision being undertaken. Colour Sense.—The test-colours recommended in the Report of the Committee of the Royal Society on Colour Blindness have been adopted in testing the appreciation of colour. For this purpose a number of skeins of coloured wools were added to wools of the colour given in the plate of the just mentioned report, so as to increase. the number of confusion colours. Hach candidate was given the three standard skeins and told to pick out from the heap of coloured wools those that were like them in colour. No case of colour blindness was found amongst either the males or females. The table will give some idea of the variations of the different mea- surements which have been obtained during the last three meetings of the Association, and of the canon of proportion of the several parts of the body. It will also enable anyone who has been measured in the laboratory to find “what his place is with respect to the corrected mean of each measurement. If he is above or below the mean-in any measurement, by referring to that measurement in the report he will be able to ascer- tain further particulars with respect to his position. The 25th, 50th, and 75th grades are the positions which would be held by the 25th, 50th, and 75th man if a hundred men were marshalled in a row, beginning from the smallest up to the greatest, with respect to the particular measurement.

As regards barbaric languages, the Committee are not prepared to offer other suggestions than that— 1. The above-named system should be adopted so far as it is applicable. 2. That in selecting symbols to express additional sounds endeavour should be made to conform to the usage of previous authors. 3. That explanatory examples of the signification of those symbols be given by the writer. 4, That the Secretary of the British Association shall direct the attention of those travellers who may hereafter receive money grants from the Association to the above resolutions. The system of orthography referred to above is subjoined. The Committee request to be reappointed. SYSTEM OF ORTHOGRAPHY FOR NATIVE NAMES OF PLACES. Taking into consideration the present want of a system of geographical orthography, and the consequent confusion and variety that exist in the mode of spelling in English maps, the Council of the Royal Geographical Society have adopted the following rules for such geographical names as are not, in the countries to which they belong, written in the Roman character. These rules are identical with those adopted for the Admiralty charts, and will henceforth be used in all publications of the Society.! 1. No change will be made in the orthography of foreign names in countries which use Roman letters: thus Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, &c., names will be spelt as by the respective nations. 2. Neither will any change be made in the spelling of such names in languages which are not written in Roman character as have become by long usage familiar to English readers; thus Calcutta, Cutch, Celebes, Mecca, &c., will be retained in their present form. 3. The true sound of the word as locally pronounced will be taken as the basis of the spelling. 4, An approximation, however, to the sound is alone aimed at. A system which would attempt to represent the more delicate inflections of sound and accent would be so complicated as only to defeat itself. Those who desire a more accurate pronunciation of the written name must learn it on the spot by a study of local accent and peculiarities. 5. The broad features of the system are that vowels are pronounced as in Italian and consonants as in English. 6. One accent only is used—the acute—to denote the syllable on which stress is laid. This is very important, as the sounds of many names are entirely altered by the misplacement of this ‘stress.’ 7. Every letter is pronounced. When two vowels come together each ' Since this was published in the Proceedings the system has been adopted by the Intelligence Division, War, Office, on all précis and maps, by, the Foreign and Colonial Offices, in all reports, and in the Queen’s Regulations and Orders for the Army.

The Automatic Balance of Reciprocating Mechanism. By W. Worsy Beaumont, M.Jnst.C.l. [Ordered by the General Committee to be printed in ewtenso among the Reports. ] Vreration is often an annoying mechanical by-product representing more or less waste. In connection with some questions of vibrations of build- ings and structures resulting from the working of machinery, the author was led to consider the possibility of the utilisation of the disturbing force productive of the harmful vibration, and thereby to prevent the vibration, It is generally known that to mechanical engineers the complete balance of rotary and reciprocating parts of machine, more especially those of the latter kind, offer very great difficulties, and that where these are not overcome vibration of the structures or framing carrying these parts is set up, and is of a more or less destructive character. The balance of rotating mechanism is usually only a question of care and cost, but the balance of reciprocating or combined reciprocating mechanism is not so easy. In steam engines, for instance, a good deal is done in the endeavour to balance reciprocating parts by rotating balancing weight. This, how- ever, usually only reduces but does not remove vibration, for if a balance is effected in the direction of reciprocation some disturbance is set up in a direction generally normal thereto. Mr. Yarrow has, however, suc- ceeded in reducing to a minimum the vibration due to the working of marine engines by opposing the motion that would otherwise occur by the inertia of bob weights. The force which would be used in vibrating the steamship is thus dissipated in a vertical direction, but vibratory effort in a horizontal direction is still experienced. Generally, objection- able vibrations in buildings, due to the working of machinery, is overcome by opposing the movement which the disturbing force tends to set up by the inertia of very heavy foundations. This method is often the only one that can be adopted ; but there is the objection that the wear of the bearings of the machinery is greater in this case than it would be if it were possible to obtain perfect balance of the moving parts. In some cases the absence of this balance may be rendered harmless by the permission of controlled ‘motion through small range of that, whatever it may be, to which such machinery is attached. By way of illustration the simpler cases of vibration in the framing of 666 REPORT—1893. machinery having reciprocating parts may be referred to; such, for instance, as some classes of mining machinery, sorting and grading machi- nery as used in flour mills, some textile machinery, paper-making machi- nery, coal screens, and the like. In all the machines of this class the push and pull of the reciprocated part is attended by a corresponding pull and push against that part of the machine framing to which the bearings of the crank or other reciprocating medium are fixed. As far as possible, this is compensated by the use of balance weights on the crank shaft, but in many cases the motion which would otherwise be set up has to be opposed by the costly method of constructing very strong framing, or the often inconvenient one of employing guy ropes or stays; a method which often givesrise to vibrationin the building to which these stays are attached. After attempting to prevent vibrations thus set up and to conquer this béte noire of mechanical engineering, the author has found that the best way to conquer it is to make use of it—to convert this mechanical by- product into a mechanical servant. This can be done in a large number of cases. Where, for instance, a part of a machine is reciprocated by means of a crank and connecting rod, the weight of which is balanced by rotating weights on the crank shaft, the whole of the vibration in the framing of the machine may be avoided by dispensing entirely with the crank and connecting rod, and using only the rotating balance weights on a shaft running in bearings which are attached, not to the framing, but to the thing which has to be reciprocated or gyrated. The crank and connecting rod being absent, the balance weights are now unbalanced except dynamically, and the want of balance is kinetically equivalent to the required motion in the thing to be gyrated. This was shown by the models placed upon the table, and by reference to a simple case as shown by the diagram exhibited. The relation between the range of reciprocation or gyration of the part to be operated and of the rotating unbalanced weight, as well as of their respective weights, may be represented by the following expressions :— If R=radius of gyration of part moved, r=radius of unbalanced rotating weight, W=weight of part to be moved, w=weight of rotating part (W in the figures), then r W W = —— =—R ——e i ead t a w? Roni Ie (=) w and r W W=, xv 5 pris R In the diagram is shown a suspended screen operated in the manner described by a perfectly free rotating weight. Fig. 1 isa plan of such a sereen; fig. 2, an elevation of the same with the frame partly in sec- tion; fig. 3, an end elevation of the same; fig. 4, an elevation to a larger scale of the bearing carrying the rotating weight; and fig. 5, the short spindle bracket and pulley by means of which, through the medium of a ON THE AUTOMATIC BALANCE OF RECIPROCATING MECHANISM. 667 flexible or articulated connection or hooked rod, motion is communicated to the rotating weight. In figs. 2 and 3 a simple mode of connection is Fi¢. 1. shown. When the pulley in the bracket, A, is driven from some source of power, rotation at the same speed is given to the weight, W. Being Fig. 2. an unbalanced weight it sets up vibration in the thing to which it is ‘attached, namely, in this case the screen, and the whole of the work done is absorbed in vibrating or gyrating the screen through a range which is proportional to the relations as to dimensions and weights already referred to. In fig. 6 is shown in plan an alternative method on the same principle, by means of which a rotating eccentric weight, W, running in bearings in a bracket, B, and driven by a flexible connection, C, imparts to the screen a reciprocating motion. In this case the range of reciprocation is limited by the mode of suspension of the screen weight, of the screen and its load when it is undesirable that the screen should be lifted by the inertia of motion of the weight, W, in the downward part of its rotating path. The movements described with reference to these diagrams are illustrated by three of the models - exhibited. 668 REPORT—1893. Another model is exhibited with a view to illustration of the usual method of imparting reciprocating movement by means of a crank Fie. 3. Fig. 4, and connecting rod, and of the attainment of similar and greater movements by the simple rotating weight. This model is also illustrative Fig. 5. Fig. 6, of several interesting questions bearing upon vibration due to rotating weights in machinery as set up in frames, floors, and buildings, and upon elastic vibration. The equations on page 666 give the range of gyration when the rotating weight is in the centre of the sieve. When at the end of the screen, as shown, the gyratory path at that end is elliptical, with the major axis transverse to the sieve. At the other end the movement is of less range, the major axis of the ellipse being longitudinal. TRANSACTIONS OF THE SECTIONS, oe Bnorroae THT 10 27 fot Oba % ’ TRANSACTIONS OF THE SECTIONS. Section A—MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE. PRESIDENT OF THE SEcTION—R. T. GrazeBRook, M.A., F.RS. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. The PRESIDENT delivered the following address :— Brrore dealing with the subject which I hope to bring to your notice this morning, I wish to express my deep regret for the circumstances which have prevented Professor Clifton, who had accepted the nomination of the Council, from being your President this year. It was specially fitting that he who has done so much for this college, and particularly for this laboratory in which we meet, should take the chair at Nottingham. The occasions on which we see him are all too seldom; and we who come frequently to these meetings were looking forward to help and encouragement in our work, derived from his wide experience. You would desire, I feel sure, that T should convey to him the expressions of your sympathy. For myself I must ask that you will pass a lenient judgment on my efforts to fill his place. Let me commence, then, with a brief retrospect of the past year and the events which concern our Section. From the days of Galileo the four satellites of Jupiter have been objects of interest to the astronomer. Their existence was one of the earliest of the dis- coveries of the telescope ; they proved conclusively that all the bodies of the solar system did not move round the earth. The year which has passed since our last meeting is memorable for the discovery of a fifth satellite. It is a year to-day (Sept. 13-14, 1892) since Professor Barnard convinced himself that he had seen with the great telescope of the Lick Observatory this new member of our system as a star of the thirteenth magnitude, revolving round the planet in 11 hours 57 minutes 23 seconds.? The conference on electrical standards held at our meeting last year has had important results. The resolutions adopted at Edinburgh were communicated to the Standards Committee of the Board of Trade. A supplementary report accepting these resolutions was agreed to by that Committee (Nov. 29, 1892), and presented to the President of the Board of Trade. The definitions contained in this report will be made the basis of legislation throughout the world. They have been accepted by France, Germany, Austria, and Italy. The congress at Ohicago which has just been held has ratified them, and thus we may claim that } «Tn general,’ he says, ‘the satellite has been faint. . . .

Among the physical papers of the year I would mention a few as specially call- ing for notice. Mr. E. H. Griffiths’s re-determination of the value of the mechanical equivalent of heat has just been published,’ and is a monumental work. With untiring energy and great ability he struggled for five years against the difficulties of his task, and has produced results which, with the exception of one group of experi- ments, do not differ by more than 1 part in 10,000; while the results of that one excepted group differ from the mean only by 1 part in 4,000. The number of ergs of work required to raise 1 gramme of water 1° C. at 15° C. is 4198x107, Expressed in foot-pounds and Fahrenheit degrees, the value of J is 779'77. The value obtained by Joule from his experiments on the friction of water, when corrected in 1880 by Rowland so as to reduce his readings to the air thermometer, is 778:5 at 12°7 C. The result at this temperature of Rowland’s own valuable research is 780'1. Another satisfactory outcome of Mr. Griffiths’s work is the very exact accordance between the scale of temperature as determined by the comparison of his platinum thermometer with the air thermometer, which was made by Callendar and himself in 1890, and that of the nitrogen thermometer of the Bureau International at Sévres. Another great work now happily complete is Rowland’s ‘Table of Standard Wave-lengths.’* Nearly a thousand lines have been measured with the skill and accuracy for which Rowland has made himself famous; and in this table we see the results achieved by the genius which designed the concave grating and the mechanical ingenuity which contrived the almost perfect screw. Those of us who have seen Mr. Higgs’s wonderful photographs of the solar spectrum taken with a Rowland grating will rejoice to know that his map also is now finished. Lord Rayleigh’s paper on ‘The Intensity of Light reflected from Water and Mercury at nearly perpendicular incidence,’ * combined with the experiments on re- flexion from liquid surfaces in the neighbourhood of the polarising angle,* establishes results of the utmost importance to optical theory. ‘There is thus, Lord Rayleigh concludes, ‘no experimental evidence against the rigorous application of Fresnel’s formule ’—for the reflexion of polarised light—‘to the ideal case of an abrupt transition between two uniform transparent media.’ Professor Dewar has, during the year, continued his experiments on the lique- faction of oxygen and nitrogen on a large scale. To a physicist perhaps the most important results of the research are the discovery of the magnetic properties of liquid oxygen, and the proof of the fact that the resistance of certain pure métals vanishes at absolute zero. The last discovery is borne out by Griffiths and Callendar’s experiments with their platinum thermometers.® Mr. Williams’s article on ‘The Relation of the Dimensions of Physical Quanti- ties to Directions in Space’” has led to an interesting discussion. Some of his deductions will be noticed later. The title-page of the first edition of Maxwell’s ‘Electricity and Magnetism’ bears the date 1878. This year, 1893, we welcome a third edition, edited by Maxwell’s distinguished successor, and enriched by a supplementary volume, in which Professor J. J. Thomson describes some of the advances made by electrical science in the last twenty years. The subject matter of this volume might well serve as a text for a Presidential Address. The choice of a subject on which to speak to-day has been no easy task. The field of physics and mathematics is a wide one. There is one matter, however, to which for a few minutes I should like to call your attention, inadequately though it be. Optical theories have, since the year 1876, when I first read Sir George Stokes’s ‘ Report on Double Refraction,’® had a special interest for me, and I think \ Phil. Trans., vol. c)xxxiv. 5 Phil.

TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 673 the time has come when we may with advantage review our position with regard to them, and sum up our knowledge.! That light is propagated by an undulatory motion through a medium which we call the ether 1s now an established fact, although we know but little of the nature or constitution of the ether. The history of this undulatory theory is full of interest, and has, it appears to me, in its earlier stages been not quite clearly apprehended. Two theories have been proposed to account for optical phenomena. Descartes was the author of the one, the emission theory. Hooke, though his work was very incomplete, was the founder of the undulatory theory. In his ‘Micrographia, 1664, page 56, he asserts that light is a quick and short vibratory motion, ‘ propagated every way through an homogeneous medium by direct or straight lines extended every way like rays from the centre of a sphere. . . . Every pulse or vibration of the luminous body will generate a sphere which will continu- ally increase and grow bigger, just after the same manner, though indefinitely swifter, as the waves or rings on the surface do swell into bigger and bigger circles about a point on it ;’ and he gives on this hypothesis an account of reflexion, refraction, dispersion, and the colours of thin plates. In the same work, page 58, he describes an experiment practically identical with Newton’s famous prism experi- ment, published in 1672. Hooke used for a prism a glass vessel about two feet long, filled with water, and inclined so that the sun’s rays might enter obliquely at the upper surface and traverse the water. ‘The top surface is covered by an opacous body, all but a hole through which the sun’s beams are suffered to pase into the water, and are thereby refracted’ to the bottom of the glass, ‘against which part if a paper be expanded on the outside there will appear all the colours of the rainbow—that is, there will be generated the two principal colours, scarlet and blue, with all the intermediate ones which arise from the composition and diluting of these two.’ But Hooke could make no use of his own observation; he attempted to substantiate from it his own theory of colours, and wrote pure nonsense in the attempt; and though his writings contain the germ of the theory, and in the light of our present knowledge it seems possible that he understood it more thoroughly than his contemporaries believed, yet his reasoning is so utterly vague and unsatisfactory that there is little ground for surprise that he convinced but few of its truth. And then came Newton. It is claimed for him, and that with justice, that he was the true founder of the emission theory. In Descartes’ hands it was a vague hypothesis, Newton deduced from it by rigid reasoning the laws of reflexion and refraction ; he applied it with wondrous ingenuity to explain the colours of thin and of thick plates and the phenomena of diffraction, though in doing this he had to suppose a mechanism which he must have felt to be almost impossible; a mechanism which in time, as it was applied to explain other and more complex phenomena, became so elaborate that, in the words of Verdet, referring to a period one hundred years later, ‘all that is necessary to overturn this laborious scaffold- ing is to look at it and try to understand it.’ But though Newton may with justice be called the founder of the emission theory, it is unjust to his memory to state that he accepted it as giving a full and satisfactory account of optics as they were known to him. When he first began his optical work he realised that facts and measurements were needed, and his object was to furnish the facts. He may have known of Hooke’s theories, The copy of the ‘Micrographia’ now at Trinity College was in the Library while Newton was working with his prism in rooms in college, and may have been con- sulted by him. An early note-book of his contains quotations from it. Still there was nothing in the theories but hypotheses unsupported by facts, and these would have no charm for Newton. The hypotheses in the main are right. Light is due to wave motion in an all-pervading ether; the principle of interference, vaguely foreshadowed by Hooke (‘Micrographia,’ p. 66), was one which a * This address was in the printer’s hands when I saw Sir G.

XxX 674 REPORT—1893. century later was to remove the one difficulty which Newton felt. For there was one fact which Hooke’s theory could not then explain, and till that explanation was given the theory must be rejected; the test was crucial, the answer was decisive. Newton tells us repeatedly what the difficulty was. In reply to a criticism of Hooke’s in 1672 he writes :—‘ For to me the fundamental supposition itself seems impossible, namely, that the waves or vibrations of any fluid can, like the rays of light, be propagated in straight lines without continual and very extravagant spreading and bending into the quiescent medium where they are terminated by it. I mistake if there be not both experiment and demonstration to the contrary... . For it seems impossible that any of those motions or pressions can be propagated in straight lines without the like spreading every way into the shadowed medium.’ Nor was there anything in the controversy with Hooke, which took place about 1675, to shake this belief. Hooke had read his paper describing his dis- covery of diffraction. He had announced it two years earlier, and there is no doubt in my mind that this was an original discovery, and not, as Newton seemed to imply soon after, taken from Grimaldi; but his paper does not remove the diffi- culty. Accordingly we find in the ‘ Principia’ Newton’s attempted proof (lib. ii. prop. 42) that ‘motus omnis per fluidum propagatus divergit a recto tramite in spatia immota’—a demonstration which has convinced but few and leaves the question unsolved as before. Again, in 1690 Huygens published his great ‘Traité de la Lumiére,’ written in 1678. Huygens had clearer views than Hooke on all be wrote; many of his demonstrations may be given now as completely satisfactory, but on the one crucial matter he was fatally weak. He, rather than Hooke, is the true founder of the undulatory theory, for he showed what it would do if it could but explain the rectilinear propagation. The reasoning of the latter part of Huygens’ first chapter becomes forcible enough when viewed in the light of the principle of interference enunciated by Young, November 12, 1801, and developed, independ- ently of Young, by Fresnel in his great memoir on ‘ Diffraction’ in 1815; but with- out this aid it was not possible for Huygens’s arguments to convince Newton, and hence in the ‘ Opticks’ (2nd edit., 1717) he wrote the celebrated Query 28 :—‘ Are not all hypotheses erroneous in which light is supposed to consist in pressure or motion propagated through a fluid medium? If it consisted in motion propagated either in an instant or in time it would bend into the shadow. For pressure or motion cannot be propagated in a fluid in right lines beyond an obstacle which stops part of the motion, but will bend and spread every way into the quiescent medium which lies outside the shadow.’ These were his last words on the subject. They prove that he could not accept the undulatory theory; they do not prove that he believed the emission theory to give the true explanation. Yet, in spite of this, I think that Newton had a clearer view of the undulatory theory than his contemporaries, and saw more fully than they did what that theory could achieve if but the one difficulty were removed. This was Young’s belief, who writes:’—‘A more extensive examination of Newton’s various writings has shown me that he was in reality the first who sug- gested such a theory as I shall endeavour to maintain ; that his own opinions varied less from this theory than is now almost universally believed; and that a variety of arguments have been advanced as if to meet him which may be found in a nearly similar form in his own works.’ I wish to call attention to this state- ment, and to bring into more prominent view the grounds on which it rests, to place Newton in his true position as one of the founders of the undulatory theory. The emission theory in Newton’s hands was a dynamical theory; he traced the motion of material particles under certain forces, and found their path to coincide with that of a ray of light; and in the ‘ Principia,’ prop. $6, Scholium, he calls attention to the similarity between these particles and light. The particles obey the laws of reflexion and refraction ; but to explain why some of the incident light was reflected and some refracted Newton had to invent his hypothesis of fits 1 Phil, Trans, November 12, 1801. 7 7 TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 675 of easy reflexion and transmission, These are explained in the ‘Opticks,’ book iii., props. 11, 12, and 13 (1704), thus :— ‘ Light is propagated from luminous bodies in time, and spends about seven or eight minutes of an hour in passing from the sun to the earth. ‘Every ray of light in its passage through any refracting surface is put into a certain transient constitution or state, which in the progress of the ray returns at equal intervals, and disposes the ray at each return to be easily transmitted through the next refracting surface, and between the returns to be easily reflected by it. at Definition.—The return of the disposition of any ray to be reflected I will call its fit of easy reflexion, and those of the disposition to be transmitted its fits of easy transmission, and the space it passes between every return and the next return the interval of its fits. ‘The reason why the surfaces of all thick transparent bodies reflect part of the light incident on them and refract the rest is that some rays at their incidence are in their fits of easy reflexion, some in their fits of easy transmission.’ Such was Newton’s theory. It accounts for some or all of the observed facts; but what causes the fits? Newton, in the ‘ Opticks,’ states that he does not inquire; he suggests, for those who wish to deal in hypotheses, that the rays of light striking the bodies set up waves in the reflecting or refracting substance which move faster than the rays and overtake them. When a ray is in that part of a vibration which conspires with its motion it easily breaks through the refracting surface—it is in a fit of easy transmission; and, conversely, when the motion of the ray and the wave are opposed, it is in a fit of easy reflexion. But he was not always so cautious. At an earlier date (1675) he sent to Oldenburg, for*the Royal Society, an ‘ Hypothesis explaining the Properties of Light’; and we find from the journal book that ‘ these observations so well pleased the society that they ordered Mr. Oldenburg to desire Mr, Newton to permit them to be published.’ Newton agreed, but asked that publication should be deferred till he had completed the account of some other experiments which ought to precede those he had described. This he never did, and the hypothesis was first printed in Birch’s ‘ History of the Royal Society,’ vol. iii., pp. 247, 262, 272, &c.; it is also given in Brewster's ‘ Life of Newton,’ vol. i. App. II., and in the ‘Phil. Mag.,’ September 1846, pp. 187-213. ‘ Were I,’ he writes in this paper, ‘to assume an hypothesis, it should be this, if propounded more generally, so as not to assume what light is further than that it is something or other capable of exciting vibrations of the ether. First, it is to be assumed that there is an ethereal medium, much of the same constitution with air, but far rarer, subtiller, and more strongly elastic. ... In the second place, it is to be supposed that the ether is a vibrating medium, like air, only the vibrations far more swift and minute; those of air made by a man’s ordinary voice succeeding at more than half a foot or a foot distance, but those of ether at a less distance than the hundred-thousandth part of an inch. And as in air the vibrations are some larger than others but yet all equally swift, . . . so I suppose the ethereal vibrations differ in bigness but not in swiftness. . . . In the fourth place, therefore, I suppose that light is neither ether nor its vibrating motion, but something of a different kind propagated from lucid bodies. They that will may suppose it an ageregate of various peripatetic qualities. Others may suppose it multitudes of unimaginable small and swift corpuscles of various sizes springing from shining bodies at great distances one after the other, but yet without any sensible interval oftime. . . . To avoid dispute and make this hypothesis general, let every man here take his fancy ; only, whatever light be, I would suppose it consists of successive rays differing from one another in contingent circumstances, as bigness, force, or vigour, like as the sands on the shore; . . . and, further, I would suppose it diverse from the vibrations of the ether... . Fifthly, it is to be supposed that lizht and ether mutually act upon one another.’ It is from this action that reflexion and refrac- tion come about; ‘ethereal vibrations are therefore,’ he continues, ‘the best means by which such a subtile agent as light can shake the gross particles of solid bodies to heat them. And so, supposing that light impinging on a refracting or xx2 676 REPORT—1893. reflecting ethereal superficies puts it into a vibrating motion, that physical super ficies being by the perpetual appulse of rays always kept in a vibrating motion, and the ether therein continually expanded and compressed by turns, if a ray of light impinge on it when it is much compressed, I suppose it is then too dense and stiff to let the ray through, and so reflects it; but the rays that impinge on it at other times, when it is either expanded by the interval between two vibrations or not too much compressed and condensed, go through and are refracted... . And now to explain colours. I suppose that as bodies excite sounds of various tones, and consequently vibrations in the air of various bignesses, so when the rays of light by impinging on the stiff refracting superficies excite vibrations in the ether, these rays excite vibrations of various bignesses; ... therefore, the ends of the capillamenta of the optic nerve which front or face the retina being such refract- ing superficies, when the rays impinge on them they must there excite these vibra- tions, which vibrations (like those of sound in a trumpet) will run along the aqueous pores or crystalline pith of the capillamenta through the optic nerves into the sensorium (which light itself cannot do), and there, I suppose, affect the sense with various colours, according to their bigness and mixture—the biggest with the strongest colours, reds and yellows; the least with the weakest, blues and violets; the middle with green; and a confusion of all with white.’ The last idea, the relation of colour to the bigness of wave-length, is put even more plainly in the ‘ Opticks,’ Query 13 (ed. 1704) :—‘ Do not several sorts of rays make vibrations of various bignesses, which according to their bignesses excite sensations of various colours; . .. and, particularly, do not the most refrangible rays excite the shortest vibrations for making a sensation of deep violet; the least refrangible the largest for making a sensation of deep red ?’ The whole is but a development of a reply, written in 1672, to a criticism of Hooke’s on his first optical paper, in which Newton says: ‘It is true that from my theory I argue the corporeity of light, but I do it without any absolute positiveness, as the word perhaps intimates, and make it at most a very plausible consequence of the doctrine and not a fundamental supposition.’ ‘Certainly,’ he continues, ‘my hypothesis has a much greater affinity with his own [Hooke’s] than he seems to be aware of, the vibrations of the ether being as useful and necessary in this as in his.’ Thus Newton, while in the ‘ Opticks’ he avoided declaring himself as to the mechanism by which the fits of easy reflexion and transmission were produced, has in his earlier writings developed a theory practically identical in many respects with modern views, though without saying that he accepted it. It was an hypothesis ; one difficulty remained, it would not account for the rectilinear propagation, and it must be rejected till it did. Light is neither ether nor its vibrating motion; it is energy which, emitted from luminous bodies, is carried by wave motion in rays, and falling on a reflecting surface sets up fresh waves by which it is in part transmitted and in part reflected. Light is not material, but Newton nowhere definitely asserts that it is. He ‘argues the corporeity of light, but without any absolute positiveness,’ In the ‘Principia,’ writing of his particles, his words are: ‘Harum attractionum haud multum dissimiles sunt Lucis reflexiones et refractiones;’ and the Scholium con- cludes with: ‘Igitur ob analogiam que est inter propagationem radiorum lucis et progressum corporum, visum est propositiones sequentes in usus opticos subjungere ; interea de natura radiorum (utrum sint corpora necne) nihil omnino disputans, sed trajectorias corporum trajectoriis radiorum persimiles solummodo determi- nans.’! No doubt Newton’s immediate successors interpreted his words as meaning that he believed in the corpuscular theory, conceived, as Herschel says, by Newton, and 1 The reflexions and refractions of light are not very unlike these attractions. Therefore, because of the analogy which exists between the propagation of rays of light and the motion of bodies, it seemed right to add the following propositions for optical purposes, not at all with any view of discussing the nature of rays (whether they are corporeal or not), but only to determine paths of particles which closely resemble the paths of rays.—Principia, lib. i., sect. xiv., prop. 96, Scholium, TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 677 ¢alled by his illustrious name. Men learnt from the ‘ Principia’ how to deal with the motion of small particles under definite forces, The laws of wave motion were obscure, and till the days of Young and Fresnel there was no second Newton to explain them. There is truth in Whewell’s words (‘ Inductive Sciences,’ ii., chap. x.): ‘That propositions existed in the “ Principia” which proceeded on this hypothesis was with many ground enough for adopting the doctrine.’ Young’s view, already quoted, appears to me more just; and I see in Newton’s hypothesis the first clear indication of the undulatory theory of light, the first statement of its fundamental laws. Three years later (1678) Huygens wrote his ‘ Traité de la Lumiére,’ published in 1690. He failed to meet the main difficulty of the theory, but in other respects he developed its consequences to a most remarkable degree. For more than a cen- tury after this there was no progress, until in 1801 the principle of interference ‘was discovered by Young, and again independently a few years later by Fresnel, whose genius triumphed over the difficulties to which his predecessors had succumbed, and, by combining the principles of interference and transverse vibrations, established an undulatory theory as a fact, thus making Newton’s theory a vera causa. There is, however, a great distinction between the emission theory as Newton eft it and Fresnel’s undulatory theory. The former was dynamical, though it could explain but little: the particles of light obeyed the laws of motion, like particles of matter. The undulatory theory of Huygens and Fresnel was geometrical or kine- matical: the structure of the ether was and is unknown; all that was needed was ‘that light should be due to the rapid periodic changes of some vector property of a medium capable of transmitting transverse waves. Fresnel, it is true, attempted to give a dynamical account of double refraction, and of the reflexion and refraction of polarised light, but the attempt was a failure ; and not the least interesting part ‘of Mr. L. Fletcher's recent book on double refraction (‘The Optical Indicatrix’) is ‘that in which he shows that Fresnel himself in the first instance arrived at his theory by purely geometrical reasoning, and only attempted at a later date to give it its dynamical form. ‘If we reflect,’ says Stokes,! ‘on the state of the subject as Fresnel found it and as he left it, the wonder is, not that he failed to give a rigo- rous dynamical theory, but that a single mind was capable of effecting so much.’ Every student of optics should read Fresnel’s great memoirs. But the time was coming when the attempt to construct a dynamical theory of tight could be made. Navier, in 1821, gave the first mathematical theory of elas- ticity. He limited himself to isotropic bodies, and worked on Boscovitch’s hypo- thesis as to the constitution of matter. Poisson followed on the same lines, and ‘the next year (1822) Cauchy wrote his first memoir on elasticity. The phenomena of light afforded a means of testing this theory of elasticity, and accordingly the first mechanical conception of the ether was that of Cauchy and Neumann, who conceived it to consist of distinct hard particles acting upon one another with forces in the line joining them, which vary as some function of the distances between the ‘particles. It was now possible to work out a mechanical theory of light which ‘should be a necessary consequence of these hypotheses. Cauchy’s and the earlier theories do not represent the facts either in an elastic solid or in the ether. At present we are not concerned with the cause of this; we must recognise them as the first attempts to explain on a mechanical basis the phenomena observed. According to this theory in its final form, there are, in an isotropic medium, two waves which travel with velocities 4/A/p and 4/Bjp, A and B being constants and p the density. eee Cauchy’s molecular hypothesis, there must be a definite relation between and B. A truer view of the theory of elasticity is given by Green in his paper read before the Cambridge Philosophical Society in 1837. This theory involves the two constants, but they are independent, and to account for certain optical effects A must either vanish or be infinite. The first supposition was, until a few years since, thought to be inconsistent with stability; the second leads to consequences which in part agree with the results of optical experiment, but which differ fatally from those 1 «Report on Double Refraction,’ Brit. Assoc. Report, 1862, p. 254. 678 REPORT— 1893. results on other points. And so the first attempt to construct a mechanical theory of light failed. We have learnt much from it. At the death of Green the sub- ject had advanced far beyond the point at which Fresnel left it. The causes of the failure are known, and the directions in which to look for modifications have been ointed out. Now I believe that the effort to throw any theory into mechanical form, to conceive a model which is a concrete representation of the truth, to arrive at that which underlies our mathematical equations wherever possible, is of immense value to every student. Such a course, I am well aware, has its dangers. It may be thought that we ascribe to the reality all the properties of the model, that, in the case of the ether, we look upon it as a collection of gyrostatic molecules and springs, or of pulleys and indiarubber bands, instead of viewing it from the standpoint of Maxwell, who hoped, writing of his own model, ‘that by such mechanical fictions, anyone who understands the provisional and temporary character of his hypothesis will find himself helped rather than hindered in his search after the true interpretation of the phenomena.’ Professor Boltzmann, in his most interesting paper on ‘The Methods of Theoretical Physics,’ has quoted these words, and has expressed far more ably than I can hope to do the idea I wish to convey. The elastic solid theory, then, has failed; but are we therefore without any mechanical theory of light? Are we again reduced to merely writing down our equations, and calling some quantity which appears in them the amplitude of the light vibration, and the square of that quantity the intensity of the light? Or can we take a further step? Let us inquire what the properties of the ether must be which will lead us by strict reasoning to those equations which we know represent the laws of the propagation of light. These equations resemble in many respects those of an elastic solid; let us, then, for a moment identify the displacement in a light-wave with an actual dis- placement of a molecule of some medium having properties resembling that of a solid, Then this medium must have rigidity or quasi-rigidity in order that it may transmit transverse wayes ; at the same time it must be incapable of transmitting normal waves, and this involves the supposition that the quantity A which appears in Green’s equations must vanish or be infinite. To suppose it infinite is to recur to the incompressible solid theory ; we will assume, therefore, that it is zero. Re- flexion and refraction show us that the ether in a transparent medium such as glass differs in properties from that in air. It may differ either (1) in density or effective density,” or (2) in rigidity or effective rigidity. The laws of double re- fraction and the phenomena of the scattering of light by small particles show us that the difference is, in the main, in density or effective density ; the rigidity of the ether does not greatly vary in different media. Dispersion, absorption, and ano- malous dispersion all tell us that in some cases energy is absorbed from the light- vibrations by the matter through which they pass, or, to be more general, by some- thing very intimately connected with the matter. We do not know sufficient to say what that action must be; we can, however, try the consequences of various hypotheses, Guided by the analogy of the motion of a solid in a fluid, iet us assume that the action is proportional to the acceleration of the ether particles relative to the matter, and, further, that under certain cireum- stances some of the energy of the ether particles is transferred to the matter, thus setting them in vibration. If such action be assumed, the actual density of the ether may be the same in all media, the mathematical expression for the forces will lead to the same equations as those we obtain by supposing that there is a variation of density, and since it is clearly reasonable to suppose that this action between 1 Phil. Mag., July 1893. 2? The equations of motion for a medium such as is supposed above can be written— p x acceleration of ether + p’ x acceleration of matter == B x function of ether displacements, and their differential coefficients with respect to the coordinates + =B’ x similar function for matter displacements. The quantity p may be spoken of as the effective ether density, the quantities B as the effective elasticity or rigidity. em ee TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 679 matter and ether is, in a crystal, a function of the direction of vibration, the appa- rent or effective density of the ether in such a body will depend on the direction of displacement. Now these hypotheses will conduct us by strict mathematical reasoning to laws for the propagation, reflexion and refraction, double refraction and polarisation, dispersion, absorption, and anomalous dispersion and aberration of light which are in complete accordance with the most accurate experiments. The rotatory polarisation of quartz, sugar, and other substances points toa more complicated action between the ether and matter than is contemplated above ; and, accordingly, other terms have to be introduced into the equations to account for these effects. It will be noted as a defect, and perhaps a fatal one, that the connection between electricity and light is not hinted at, but I hope to return to that point shortly. Such a medium as I have described is afforded us by the labile ether of Lord Kelvin. It isanelastic solid or quasi-solid incapable of transmitting normal waves. The quantity A is zero, but Lord Kelvin has shown that the medium would still be stable provided its boundaries are fixed, or, which comes to the same thing, provided it extends to infinity. Such a medium would collapse if it were not held fixed at its boundaries; but if it be held fixed, and if then all points on any closed spherical surface in the medium receive a small normal displacement, so that the matter within the surface is compressed into a smaller volume, there will he no tendency either to aid or to prevent this compression, the medium in its new state will still be in equilibrium, the stresses in any portion of it which remains unaltered in shape are independent of its volume, and are functions only of the “ened and, implicitly, of the forces which hold the boundary of the whole medium xed. A soap film affords in two dimensions an illustration of such a medium; the tension at any point of the film does not depend on the dimensions; we may suppose the film altered in area in any way we please—so long as it remains continuous—without changing the tension. Waves of displacement parallel to the surface of the film would not be transmitted. But such a film in consequence of its tension has an apparent rigidity for displacements normal to its surface: it can transmit transverse waves with a velocity which depends on the tension. Now the labile ether is a medium which has, in three dimensions, characteristics re- sembling those of the two-dimensional film. Its fundamental property is that the potential energy per unit volume, in an isotropic body, so far as it arises from a given strain, is proportional to the square of the resultant twist. In an incom- pressible elastic ether this potential energy depends upon the shearing strain. Given such a medium—and there is nothing impossible in its conception—the main phenomena of light follow as a necessary consequence. We have a mechanical theory by the aid of which we can explain the phenomena; we can go a few steps behind the symbols we use in our mathematical processes. Lord Kelvin, again, has shown us how such a medium might be made up of molecules having rotation in such a way that it could not be distinguished from an ordinary fluid in respect to any irrotational motion ; it would, however, resist rotational movements with a force proportional to the twist, just the force required; the medium has no real rigidity, but only a quasi-rigidity conferred on it by its rotational motion. The actual periodic displacements of such a medium may constitute light. We may claim, then, with some confidence to have a mechanical theory of light. But nowadays the ether has other functions to perform, and there is another theory to consider, which at present holds the field. Maxwell’s equations of the electromagnetic field are practically identical with those of the quasi-labile ether. The symbols which occur can have an electromagnetic meaning; we speak of permeability and inductive capacity instead of rigidity and density, and take as our variables the electric or magnetic displacements instead of the actual displace- ment or the rotation. Still such a theory is not mechanical. Electric force acts on matter charged with electricity, and the ratio of the force to the charge can be measured in mecha- nical units. A fundamental conception in Maxwell’s theory is electric displacement, 680 REPORT—1893. and this is proportional to the electric force. Moreover, its convergence measures the quantity of electricity present per unit volume; but we have no certain mechanical conception of electric displacement or quantity of electricity, we have no satisfactory mechanical theory of the electromagnetic field. The first edition of the ‘ Electricity and Magnetism’ appeared twenty years ago. In it Maxwell says: ‘It must be carefully borne in mind that we have made only one step in the theory of the action of the medium. We have supposed it to be in a state of stress, but we have not in any way accounted for this stress or explained how it is maintained, This step, however, appears to me to be an important one, as it explains by the action of consecutive parts of the medium phenomena which were formerly supposed to be explicable only by direct action at a distance. I have not been able to make the next step, namely, to account by mechanical con- siderations for these stresses in the dielectric.’ And these words are true still. But, for all this, I think it may be useful to press the theory of the quasi-labile ether as far as it will go, and endeavour to see what the consequences must be. The analogy between the equations of the electromagnetic field and those of an elastic solid has been discussed by many writers. In a most interesting paper on the theory of dimensions, read recently before the Physical Society, Mr. Williams has called attention to the fact that two only of these analogies have throughout a simple mechanical interpretation. These two have been developed at some length by Mr, Heaviside in his paper in the ‘ Electrician’ for January 23, 1891. ‘To one of them Lord Kelvin had previously called attention (‘Collected Papers,’ vol. iii. . 450. ; — with a quasi-labile ether, then, we may suppose that p, the magnetic permeability of the medium, is 47p,' where p is the density, and that K, the in- ductive capacity, is 1/4rB, B being the rigidity, or the quasi-rigidity conferred by the rotation. é ; : The kinetic energy of such a medium is } p (£°+7?+ @), where é, 7, ¢ are the components of the displacement. Let us identify this with the electromagnetic energy (a* + 8° + *)87, a, 8, y being components of the magnetic force, so that a=&, B=7,y=¢. Then the components of the electric displacement, assuming them to be zero initially, are given by poh EB that is, the electric displacement multiplied by 4m is equal to the rotation in the medium. Denote this by ©. The potential energy due to the strain is i Bo?, or $16n°BD?, and on substituting for B this becomes 1 43 2K which is Maxwell’s expression for the electrostatic energy of the field. Thus so far, but no farther, the analogy is complete ; the kinetic energy of the medium measures the magnetic energy, the potential energy measures the electro- static energy. The stresses in the ether, however, are not those given by Max- well’s theory. In the other form of the analogy we are to take the inductive capacity as 4p and the magnetic permeability as 1/47B. The velocity measures the electric force, and the rotation the magnetic force, so that electrostatic energy is kinetic, and magnetic energy potential. Such an arrangement is not so easy to grasp as the other. Optical experiments, however, show us that in all probability it is p, and not B, which varies, while from our electrical measurements we know that K is variable and constant ; hence this is a reason for adopting the second form. cope 1 If we adopted Mr. Heaviside’s rational system of units the 4m would disappear. ee eee TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 681 In either case we look upon the field as the seat of energy distributed per unit of volume according to Maxwell’s law. The total energy is obtained by integration throughout the field. Now we can transform this integral by Green’s theorem to a surface integral over the boundary, together with a volume integral through the space ; and the form of these integrals shows us that we may look upon the effects, dealing for the present with electrostatics only, as due to the attractions and repulsions of a certain imaginary matter distributed according to a definite law over the boundary and throughout the space. To this imaginary matter, then, in the ordi- nary theory we give the name of Electricity. An electrified conducting sphere, according to these analogies, is not a body charged with a quantity of something called electricity, but a surface at which there is a discontinuity in the rotation impressed upon the medium, or in the flow across the surface; for in the conductor a viscous resistance to the motion takes the place of rigidity. No permanent strain can be set up. From this standpoint we consider electrical force as one of the manifestations of some action between ether and matter. There are certain means by which we can strain the ether: the friction of two dissimilar materials, the chemical action in a cell are two ; and when, adopting the first analogy, this straining is of such a nature as to produce a rotational twist in the ether, the bodies round are said to be electri- fied; the energy of the system is that which would arise from the presence over their surfaces of attracting and repelling matter, attracting or repelling according to the inverse square law. We falsely assign this energy to such attractions instead of to the strains and stresses in the ether. Such a theory has many difficulties. It is far from being proved; perhaps I have erred in trespassing on your time with it in this crude form. The words of the French savant, quoted by Poincaré, will apply to it: ‘I can understand all Maxwell except what he means by a charged body.’ It is not, of course, the only hypothesis which might be formed to explain the facts, perhaps not even the most probable. For many points the vortex sponge theory is its superior. Still I feel confident that in time we shall come to see that the phenomena of the electro- magnetic field may be represented by some such mechanism as has been outlined, and that confidence must be my excuse for having ventured to call your attention to the subject.

On the Period of Vibration of Electrical Disturbances upon the Earth. By Professor G, F. FirzGerarp, Sc.D., M.A., F.R.S., F.T.0.D. Professor J. J. Thomson and Mr. O, Heaviside have calculated the period of vibration on a sphere alone in space and found it about ‘059 second. ‘The fact that the upper regions of the atmosphere conduct makes it possible that there is a period of vibration due to the vibrations similar to those on a sphere surrounded by a concentric spherical shell. In calculating this case it is not necessary to con- sider propagation in time for an approximate result, and it was pointed out that a roughly approximate result could be obtained by equating the electric force at the centre of the earth to a simply harmonic distribution of electricity on its sur- face and on that of a concentric shell, to the electric force due to the rate of varia- tion of the Vector potential of the electric currents calculated on the assumption of a simply periodic variation of the electric distribution. It appears that the dis- placement currents between the outer and inner shells are the only contributors to the Vector potential. The value of the time of vibration obtained by this very simple approximation is 2Kya*b*loga/b a fare Applying this to the case of the earth with a conducting layer at a height of 100 kilometres (much higher than is probable) it appears that a period of vibration of about one second would be possible. A variation in the height of the conducting layer produces only a small effect upon this if the height be small compared with the diameter of the earth. In the case of the sun the period of vibration would be about a hundred times as great. An approximate estimate was made as to the electric density at the pole required to produce a horizontal force at the equator equal to about the hundredth part of the earth’s horizontal force, and it was found to be eight electrostatic units per square centimetre. Anything very much greater than this should produce a measurable reduction of barometric pressure. Atten- tion was called to the desirability of having a sufficient number of magnetic stations in a ring round the magnetic pole to be able to determine whether there were simultaneous, easterly or westerly, waves of disturbance of horizontal force. Such a simultaneous disturbance, of which there was some evidence from the pre- sent sparsely distributed observatories, would mean that there was an earth current which was running through the earth in such a way that it must be continued by auroral discharges in the upper regions of the air. 7. The Moon’s Atmosphere and the Kinetic Theory of Gases. By G. H. Bryan, M.A. [The possibility of applying the kinetic theory of gases to explain the absence of any perceptible atmosphere round the Moon seems to have been contemplated ever since the earliest days of the kinetic theory itself. Mr. S. Tolver Preston claims to have been the first to suggest this explanation (‘ Nature,’ Nov. 7, 1878) ; but the idea was thought of long before then, for Waterston, in his now well- known paper on ‘The Physics of Media’ (‘ Phil, Trans. R.S.,’ 1892 [.A]), specially considers the problem of the Moon’s atmosphere. His investigation would, how- ever, require all the molecules of a gas to have the same velocity, which we now know to be incorrect, and it leads to the conclusion that the existence of a lunar atmosphere would be possible at ordinary temperatures. | Now, according to the well-known ‘error’ law of distribution of velocity among the molecules of a gas, there must always be some molecules moving with sufficiently great speeds to overcome the attraction of any body, however powerful, and some whose speed is too small to enable them to escape from the attraction of any body, however feeble. On this assumption no planet would theoretically have an absolutely permanent atmosphere. If, however, the proportion of mole- cules which escape is relatively exceedingly small, the atmosphere of the planet may be regarded as practically permanent. In order, therefore, to test the relative = = TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 683 degree of permanence of the atmospheres of different celestial bodies, the author has calculated what proportion of the molecules of oxygen and hydrogen at different temperatures have a sufficiently great speed to fly off from the surfaces of, and never return to, the Moon, Mars, and the Earth. The corresponding results for the Sun are also given, not, however, at its surface, but at the Earth’s distance from the Sun’s centre, where the critical speed is, of course, ,/2 x the speed of the Earth’s orbital motion, The numbers, which are given in Table I., p. 684, represent, in each case, the average number of molecules, among which there is ove molecule whose speed exceeds the critical amount. Thus, for oxygen at temperature 0° C, rather over one molecule in every three billion is moving fast enough to fly off permanently from the Moon, and only one in every 23 x 10°*° is moving fast enough to escape from the Earth’s atmosphere, while the Sun’s attraction, evenat the distance of the Earth, prevents more than one in every 2 x 10***° from escaping. Now it is generally stated that at the Harth’s surface there are somewhere about 18 x 10'® molecules in a cubic centimetre of air. If we suppose the Moon’s surface were invested with an atmosphere, say of oxygen, of this density, every cubic centimetre would contain, roughly, about six million molecules moving with sufficient speed to carry them away from the Moon. But the velocity requisite to overcome the EKarth’s attraction would only be attained by one molecule in a volume of 1°3 x 10°!° cubic centimetres, that is, in a globe of radius about 2 x 10°° kilometres. In our Earth’s atmosphere the acquisition of the requisite speed by a single molecule would only occur once at rare intervals, and would probably be far too rare to affect the permanency of the EHarth’s atmosphere, even during the long periods of time through which we are wont to trace the history of the solar system. 3 In the case of Mars the corresponding figure shows that an atmosphere con- taining oxygen is practically permanent at all ordinary temperatures, but that such an atmosphere could not remain on the planet if its temperature were as high as 819° C. If the Earth possessed an atmosphere of hydrogen at temperature 0° C., con- taining 10'* molecules per cubic centimetre, there would be one molecule in every 60 cubic centimetres whose velocity would be sufficient to carry it away perma- nently. Remembering that the Earth at one time was much hotter than at present, we see that the absence of hydrogen from the Harth’s atmosphere (except in the form of water) is easily accounted for. In the case of the Sun, a hydrogen atmosphere would be permanent at 0° C., even as far off as the Harth, as is shown by the number 2°7 x 10°°7, At one-tenth of the Earth’s distance from the Sun we should obtain the same number with an absolute temperature ten times as high, 2.€., 2730° absolute, or 2457° C., and so on. A considerably higher temperature would, however, be consistent with permanency. Thus the kinetic theory quite explains the existence of hydrogen in the Sun’s atmosphere at high temperatures. The present theory seems to preclude the possibility of the Moon ever having had an atmosphere, If the Moon were formerly much hotter than at present the proportion of gaseous molecules tending to fly off would be greater, and such a loss would be exactly the reverse of the process which the nebular hypothesis assumes to be taking place in the solar system. But it would seem probable that this flying off of gaseous molecules is not an essential condition in explaining the Moon’s absence of atmosphere by means of the kinetic theory. It is only necessary to assume the existence of a distribution of matter of excessive tenuity pervading interplanetary space in order to account for a gradual increase taking place in the atmospheres of all the planets, and such an assumption, taken in conjunction with the kinetic theory, is gute compatible with the absence of any perceptible atmosphere surrounding the Moon, and of any per- ceptible resistance to the motions of the Moon and planets. The kinetic theory enables us to compare the densities at different points of a mass of gas in equilibrium under such fixed central forces as the attractions of the celestial bodies. If we apply the theory to the system consisting of the Snn, Moon, and Earth, we shall find the relative densities given in Table IL., the density 684 REPORT—1893.

If we take the density at an infinite distance from the Sun to be unity, the corresponding results will be given by Table III. The assumption on which these results are calculated may be called an ‘ equi- librium theory,’ since it takes no account of the motions of the bodies in question, and it assumes a permanent distribution to have been attained, so that the whole of the gas is at a uniform temperature. : When every allowance is made for the artificial character of the assumptions it is still highly unreasonable to suppose that the Moon could have an atmosphere so far in excess of that required by the equilibrium theory that its presence could be detected even by the most careful observations; and a very few molecules of oxygen and nitrogen flying about in interstellar or interplanetary space would represent a number far in excess of that required by the equilibrium theory, and would therefore tend to augment the total mass of the Earth’s atmosphere. If we try to compare the atmospheres of different planets, such as the Earth and Mars, the ‘equilibrium theory’ breaks down completely, as is only natural when we remember how rarely a single molecule leaves the atmosphere of either lanet. — - ‘ It is different in the case of two bodies so near each other as the Earth and Moon. Among the molecules of gas which at any time might find themselves in the neighbourhood of the Moon and Earth the greater number would be drawn in by the more attractive body, and the Moon would not, therefore, be likely to obtain an atmosphere like that surrounding the Earth. At no period has it possessed an atmosphere of oxygen and nitrogen com- parable in density with that of the Earth. A decrease of density in a planet’s atmosphere could only take place by the condensation in liquid form of vapours present in it, not by matter leaving the planet. Thus the kinetic theory of gases is capable of accounting for absence of air from the Moon without making any assumptions contradictory to the nebular hypothesis. 8, On Grinding and Polishing. By Lord Rayueicu, Sec.R.S8. 9. Simple Apparatus for Observing and Photographing Interference and Diffraction Phenomena. By W. B. Crorr, M.A. A wooden screen 16 inches high and 9 inches broad has an opening at a height of 10 inches which will take a spectroscope slit or a thin metal plate with a pin- hole: a convex lens focusses sunlight or limelight on the small aperture; a lamp, however, gives sufticient light for the main effects without the finer detail. At about 2 feet distance an a or B Huygens’ microscope eyepiece is adjusted so that its field is evenly covered with the light; about 6 inches in front ‘of this is the holder for the diffraction-objects—a stiff-jointed arm about 3 inches long is a convenient adjustment for height. Various things are fixed on 8-inch squares of wood which have a central hole 3 inch square; a slot in the middle of one side of the wood goes over a screw at the end of the jointed arm; a nut clamps it, but allows movement in a vertical plane. The chief simple objects are: Single edge, square corner, double edge, bi-prism, inclined mirrors, needle-eyes, needle-points, needles of various thicknesses, needle with opaque slip on one side, needle with mica slip on one side, perforated zinc, wire gauze, shot cemented on glass for Arago’s bright spot at the centre of the shadow of a circular screen, holes of graduated sizes in a metal plate. If the eyepiece is passed through a collar which will fix on the front ofa camera in the place of the ordinary lens, an image is made on the ground glass which can be photographed. The rays emerge parallel and the image varies in size, but remains in focus for all positions of the eyepiece and ground glass. In illustration of the two modes of observing these phenomena the author drew attention to an old set of diffraction objects, consisting of fifty-nine small geo- 686 REPORT—1893. metrical figures on glass. They were intended to be placed in front of a telescope focussed to a distant point of light, according to the plan of Fraunhofer and Schwerd. The result is a system of radiating lines, which consist of spectral images of the point of light; but if the same are viewed as above with the eye- piece alone, the extending spectra mostly disappear, and more elaborate and finely defined central figures are formed. 10. On Wilson’s Theory respecting the asserted foreshortening of the inner side of the Penumbree of the Solar Spots when near the Sun’s Limb, and of the probable thickness of the Photospheric and the Penumbral Strata of the Solur Envelopes. By Rev. Freperick Howserr. For a considerable portion of the period of upwards of thirty years, during which the author of this paper has maintained a more or less continuous record of the solar spots—during, be it noted, three full successive periods of the maximum, minimum, and intermediate conditions of solar-spot activity, and including some thousands of careful and roughly micrometric observations—one point has not a little excited his surprise, viz., to have scarcely in any one undoubted instance been able to verify the observation first made by Dr. Wilson, Professor of Practical Astronomy in the University of Glasgow, as long ago as the months of November and December 1769, as well as on, he affirms, many subsequent occasions. The phenomena in question which Wilson claims to have frequently seen is, in brief, this, that if a spot, when well on the disk, has its penumbra equally dis- tributed on all sides of the umbra, the effects of foreshortening on the sphere, in consequence of the funnel-shaped nature of a spot, will be that whenever a spot is near the limb the side of the penumbra nearest to the sun’s centre will be extremely foreshortened, and that when very near the limb, not only the whole of the inner side of the penumbra, but the whole of the umbra itself, will become invisible, the outermost side of the penumbra alone remaining in sight. Wilson tells us (as recorded in the ‘ Philosophical Transactions’ for 1774) that he effected his observations by direct vision, using a small, and he says an excellent, Gregorian reflecting telescope of 26 inches focal length, with a magnifying power of 112 linear. The author’s observations were made by projecting the sun’s image on a large screen nearly 5 feet by 4 feet, using a small but excellent refractor by the elder Dollond of 3 inches aperture with 46 inches focal length, with magnifying powers of from 80 to 200 times linear. When using power 80, with the screen placed 4 feet 3 inches from the eyepiece, the projected image of the sun has a diameter of 32 inches, so that, consequently, each inch of the image is equivalent to just about 60” of celestial arc, and which is the scale on which the author's drawings are usually made. A sort of micro- meter, moreover, consisting of asmall disk of glass ruled off into the two-hundredths of an inch, is placed in the focus of the eyepiece, so that the divisions on the glass disk are distinctly seen projected also on the screen, each exactly half an inch apart. ; When a power of 200 linear is used the sun’s image is seen 6 feet 4 inches in diameter on the screen when placed at the same distance from the eyepiece as before mentioned, and when each minute of arc thereon measures 23 inches, so that, in fact, in such enlarged images seconds of arc can be readily measured by a pair of common dividers. Now as regards Wilson’s observations—with which the author professes him- self to be most strongly at issue, especially when spots of any considerable magni- tude are concerned—nothing could be stated in a more exact, cautious, and circum- stantial manner. And it is, in all probability, in consequence of this that the phenomena Wilson claims to have seen have been handed down as facts (without their having been adequately verified or disproved) in almost all works on physical astronomy to the present day. The author, however, had the honour of calling the special attention of astro- T—_— an A bak oi TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 687 nomers to the point in question in a paper read before the Royal Astronomical Society in June, 1886, soon after which Mr. Cowper Ranyard, the late Mr. Whipple of the Kew Observatory, and the late Father Perry of Stonyhurst, expressed them- selves in close agreement on the whole with the author, the two former emphati- cally so; as also, quite lately, has Father Sidgreaves, Director of the last-mentioned observatory. Professor Sporer, also, of Munich, in a copious résumé of his labours in con- nection with the solar spots (read at Geneva in August, 1885) denies that the spots possess the character of funnels (tonnozrs) so commonly attributed to them. Not, however, that the statements of Wilson at the time when they were brought forward remained unchallenged. For not only did the Rey. Francis Wollaston (father of the great chemist) demur to them, but the great mathematician and observer De la Lande (as recorded in the French Academy ‘Memoirs’ for 1776) admitted that whilst some spots behayed as Wilson states, yet that the rule by no means always held good. Wilson’s spot, moreover, of November, 1769, had so large a size as a length and breadth of one minute of arc, and he states that the effects of foreshortening even in a spot of such extensive dimensions was to cause the central umbra to completely disappear when about 24” from the limb, whilst the side of the penumbra nearest the limb still continued to be eminently conspicuous, which would necessitate, of course, a very large amount of depth and of shelving indeed! The author of this paper, however, can only say that in repeated observations he has never found any of this asserted foreshortening, nor con- sequent apparent relative displacement of the umbra, when spots of the above- mentioned size have been no more than 20”, 15”, or even 5” from the limb. The author does not wish to affirm that no measure whatever of the foreshortening ever occurs, but he emphatically affirms that where it does it is only in the very slightest degree, though it necessarily is somewhat more apparent in very small ots. : All these appearances can be readily exhibited on a globe of a foot or so in diameter, in which depressions have been worked of various sizes and various depths; and from which it will at once be seen how very shallow must be the spots which admit of the umbra remaining apparently central in the midst of the penumbra, when so near the limb as has just been mentioned, Such, then, is the experience of the author of this paper, who also would wish to state that in the present year he requested leave (and was most courteously permitted) to compare his hand-drawings of the sun for the last ten years—em- bracing two maximum and one minimum period of solar spot activity—with the photographic record at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich ; and when, as far as could be perceived by means of a magnifying lens, his contention was found to hold good in every instance in which the concurrent dates of observation admitted of such a comparison, as was allowed by both Mr. Hollist and another junior mem- ber of the assistants, who aided in the investigation. The appearance of a spot may, occasionally, seem to militate against the author’s views, and strongly to favour Wilson’s, but, as Mr. Turner, chief assistant at Greenwich, wrote him lately, ‘ the Aistory of a spot needs studying.’ And this is very essential, because, on various occasions, a spot which when nea the limb seemed to favour Wilson was found not to do so when further from the limb, when it was plainly evident that the umbra was not central. The results, finally, of the author's protracted observations and measurements lead him to the conclusion that both the photospheric and also penumbral envelopes of the sun are comparatively extremely shallow, and that the photosphere consists of one layer only of the so-called ‘rice-grain’ entities, lying in close contiguity to the subjacent penumbra, and at most not more than the z#zth part of the sun’s radius, or, say, about one thousand miles in thickness, and that the penumbral stratum is but little, if any, thicker ; otherwise the umbra could not remain plainly central within the penumbra (as it almost always does) when the latter is no more than ten, or even five, seconds from the sun’s limb. 688 REPORT—1893.

The author reported progress in his experiments to examine into the connection between ether and matter, and concludes that at least unless matter is electrified there is no stress-connection between these two bodies of a kind to interfere with their relative motion. From this he draws several conclusions, one of which is that radiation is due to the motion of electrified parts of molecules—not to the molecule as a whole. 8. On a Mechanical Analogue of Anomalous Dispersion. By R. T. Grazesroox, M.A., F.B.S. In the figure A, B, C represent a series of particles, each of mass m, connected together by strings of length a, The particles can vibrate on the plane of the paper, and a wave of simple harmonic vibration will travel along them with definite velocity. The tension in the string is F. Each particle is connected as B UG, tte QQ QZ shown by two springs to two masses A,, A,; B,, B,, &c., respectively, the masses of these particles being M. This second series of particles is connected by springs to the sides of the frame. The period of vibration of one of the particles, such as A, when the string joining it to the particles on either side is cut and the masses A,, A, are held fixed, is ¢,; the period of vibration of a particle such as A, under the action of the spring joining it to the frame alone is T,. The string joining the particles A, B, C is continued, and carries a series of particles each of mass m, unconnected to any springs. Suppose a wave of period T to be travelling with velocity V, along this string; on reaching the particle A the velocity becomes Y, and it can be shown that V,?7_m jae a (Oe oie as etme ee Mw Ee Tas oe Suppose now that ¢, is large, and let T be less than ¢, but greater than T, ; suppose also that m is greater than m,.

As T decreases to T,, »” increases—z.c., the velocity decreases—until when T=T,, »” is infinite and V zero. There is an absorption of energy, and below this absorption band the velocity is very small and the refraction is abnormally large. When T is slightly less than T,, 1” is negative, the medium has the proper- ties of a metal; but as T decreases further ,* becomes positive, though less than unity. The velocity in the medium is greater than that outside.

Note on Professor Ebert’s Estimate of the Radiating Power of an Atom, with Remarks on Vibrating Systems giving Special Series of Overtones like those Given Out by some Molecules. By Professor G. F. Firz- Grratp, V.A., F.R.S. Attention was drawn to Professor Ebert’s paper in ‘ Wiedemann’s Annalen’ for 1893, in which he estimated that the energy radiated by a sodium atom as deter- mined by Professor E. Wiedemann was approximately the same as that calculated from Hertz’s equation for the radiation from one of his oscillators, if the oscillator ce supposed of the diameter of the atom and electrical charge be the ionic charge and the time of vibration the period of the sodium line. It was pointed out that the period of vibration of asimple oscillator of the size of an atom would be very many times more frequent than that of the sodium line, and that as the energy radiation increases inversely as the cube of the wave-length it follows that the radiation of a simple Hertzian oscillator of the size of an atom might be many thousands of times as great as what Wiedemann has found to be the radiating power of a sodium atom. It follows that sodium atoms must be complex Hertzian oscillators if they are Hertzian oscillators at all, and if they be complex ones their radiating power might be either greater or less than that of a Hertzian; eo that Professor Ebert’s calculation only shows that 7f an atom be a Hertzian oscillator its radiating power is approximately what he has calculated. It was ex- plained that the fact that the vibration-frequencies of molecules were within the range of frequencies that might be expected if the molecules are systems of the size they are known to be, and of a rigidity about that of ordinary rigid bodies, made it appear that the rigidity of hard bodies may be principally the rigidity of the molecules, of which they are composed. The fact that crystalline structure is gene- rally attributed to a peculiarity in the shapes of the molecules, and that deforma- tion confers a crystalline structure on solids, tends to the conclusion that the molecules are deformed by strain. It is otherwise not easy to see why the light- frequencies are so nearly those that might be expected from rigid bodies of the size of the molecules. In connection with the question of the vibrations of molecules, it is to be observed that vibrating systems in which the motion can be very simply specified may produce extremely complex systems of lines, as is evident to anybody who has tried to express an algebraic function in a Fourier series. A finite series of discrete lines may be produced by supposing a finite vibrator to divide itself into loops and nodes. If the vibrator be of such a structure that, as in an air column, the velocity of propagation of a wave is independent of the wave-length, then the system of overtones will be a system of harmonics. But if the velocity of propa- gation be any other function of the wave-length, say VY =/(A), then it is easy to see 1893. YY 690 REPORT—1893. that the frequency of vibration (N) corresponding to m nodes in the length L will be n L Near (3): For instance, in a trough of deep water, when V oc WX N cc fn. An example of a system with a remarkable relation between the velocity of pro- pagation and the wave-length is the case of a system of magnets with their poles close to one another when disturbed to an amount small compared with the distance apart of the poles. In this case the force of restitution is proportional to the sum of the angular displacements of contiguous magnets, and it appears that the velocity of propagation of a disturbance is given by V =2N,A cos = when A is the wave-length of the disturbance. This case is interesting in connec- tiou with Professor Ewing’s theory of the nature of magnets, and it follows that the rate of progression that might be expected of this kind of disturbance in a real magnet would be extremely slow unless the period of vibration approxi- mated to 10° per second. The rate of propagation of energy into the system is, however, vey much more rapid, and might be about 200 to 300 centimetres per second. Ina finite system of such magnets the system of overtones is given by N=2N, cos LD which is evidently represented by a series of lines coming up to an edge which is so characteristic of many spectra. Vibrating linear systems having any desired relation out of a very great number of different relations connecting the velocity of propagation of a wave and the wave-length may be constructed by connecting a system of equidistant wheels by means of indiarubber bands or elastic friction wheels, the latter case being some- what similar to the case of the magnets already considered. By connecting the wheels each with its next neighbour we get the simplest system. If to this be superposed a system of connection of each with its next neighbour but one, and then each with its next neighbour but two, and so on, complex systems with very various relations between wave-length and velocity can be constructed depending on the relative strengths of the bands employed. These systems would be some- what analogous to systems of particles connected by laws of force varying in a complex way with the distance apart of the particles. In the case of the bands, &c., the general form of the relation between the velocity and wave-length is V?=h, sin? + sin? =! +7 sin? 27! 4 oe te ew te which can be varied in a very great number of ways by a proper choice of k,, k,, &e. It was pointed out how a model such as that described by Mr. Glazebrook for illustrating anomalous dispersion could be modified so as to produce almost any desired system of overtones. 5. On the Reflection of Sound or Light from a Corrugated Surface. By Lord Rayizicu. The angle of incidence is supposed to be zero, and the amplitude of the inci- dent wave to be unity. If then C= 6 COS P2ucm ow)» elie eels Sel TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 691 be the equation of the surface, the problem of reflection is readily solved so long as p in (1) is small relatively to & or 2m/\; that is, so long as the wave- length of the corrugation is large in comparison with that of the vibrations. The solution assumes a specially simple form when the second medium is impenetrable, so that the whole energy is thrown back either in the perpendicularly reflected wave or in the lateral spectra. Of this two cases are notable: (a2) when—in the application to sound—the second medium is gaseous and devoid of inertia, as in the theory of the ‘open ends’ of organ-pipes. The amplitude A, of the perpen- dicularly reflected wave, so far as the fourth power of p/k inclusive, is then given by Beas 25 (ake) +2 Ye J, (Qhe) + — { Lhe J, (2ke) —}he°I,(2ke) 1 . 2) in which there is no limitation upon the value of ke, so that the corrugation may be as deep as we please in relation tod. If p be very small, the result— viz., —J, (2kc)—is the same as would be obtained by the methods usual in Optics ; and it appears that these methods cease to be available when p cannot be neglected. The second case (8) arises when sound is reflected from a rigid and fixed wall. We find, as far as p?/k?, Ay=Jp (2ke) - Parke. J, (218) a6 whitest B0 ele Was(B) If p, instead of being relatively small, exceeds & in magnitude, there are no lateral spectra in the reflected vibrations; and if the second medium is impene- trable, the regular reflection is necessarily total. It thus appears that an extremely rough wall reflects sounds of medium pitch as well as if it were mathe- matically smooth. The question arises whether, when the second medium is not impenetrable, the regular reflection from a rough wall (p>k) is the same as if c=0. Reasons are given for concluding that the answer should be in the negative. 6. On the Piezo-electric Property of Quartz. By Lord Kztvin, Pres.R.S.! 7. On a Piezo-electric Pile. By Lord Ketvin, Pres.R.S. The application of pressure to a voltaic pile, dry or wet, has been suggested as an illustration of the piezo-electric properties of erystals, but no very satisfactory results have hitherto been obtained, whether by experiment or by theoretical con- siderations, so faras I know. Whatever effects of pressure have been observed have depended upon complex actions on the moist, or semi-moist, substances be- tween the metals and electrolytic or semi-electrolytic and semi-metallic conduct- ances of the substances. Clearing away everything but air from between the opposed metallic surfaces of different quality, I have made the piezo-electric pile which accompanies this communication. It consists of twenty-four double plates, each 8 centimetres square, of zinc and copper soldered together, zinc on one side and copper on theother. Half a square centimetre is cut from each corner of each zinc plate, so that the copper square is left uncovered by the zinc at each of its four corners. Thus each plate presents on one side an uninterrupted copper sur- face, and on the other side a zine surface, except the four uncovered half square centimetres of copper. A pile of these plates is made, resting one over the other on four small pieces of indiarubber at the four copper corners. The air-space between the opposed zinc and copper surfaces may be of any thickness from half a millimetre to 3 or 4 millimetres. Care must be taken that there are no minute shreds of fibre or dust bridging the air-space. In this respect so small an air-space as half a millimetre gives trouble, but with 8 or 4 millimetres no trouble is found. ? Published in the Philosophical Magazine, October 1893, pp. 351-342, Dn OP 692 REPORT—1893. The lowest and uppermost plates are connected by fine wires to the two pairs of quadrants of my quadrant electrometer, and it is generally convenient to allow the lowest to lie uninsulated on an ordinary table and to connect it metallically with the outer case of the electrometer. To make an experiment, (1) connect the two fine wires metallically, and let the electrometer needle settle to its metallic zero. (2) Break the connection between the two fine wires, and let a weight of a few decigrammes or kilogrammes fall from a height of a few millimetres above the upper plate and rest on this plate. A startlingly great deflection of the electrometer needle is produced. The insulation of the indiarubber supports and of the quad- rants in the electrometer ought to be so good as to allow the needle to come to rest, and the steady deflection to be observed, before there is any considerable loss. {f, for example, the plates are placed with their zinc faces up, the application of the weight causes positive electricity to come from the lower face of the upper- most plate, and to deposit itself over the upper surface of plate and weight, and on the electrode and pair of quadrants connected with it. 8. Electrical Interference Phenomena somewhat Analogous to Newton’s Rings, but exhibited by Waves in Wires. By Epwin H. Barton, B.Sc, Herr von Geitler,! while experimenting in 1892 with electrical waves passing along a pair of long parallel wires, noticed the following phenomena :— Tf the wires at any part of their length were either (1) replaced by others thicker or thinner than the normal wires, as shown at A, fig. 1, or (2) arranged nearer together or farther apart than their normal distance, as shown at B and C, fig. 1, then, in any of these cases, a partial reflection of the electrical waves occurred at such place of change in the wires. Fig. 1.—Arrangements which produce partial reflection. Fe ee gO A 8 c ry) Se OO oe rn Von Geitler then made further observations of what occurred when a con- denser was attached at a single point of each wire, as at D, fig. 1, but did not guant- tatively examine the reflections of the waves produced by the changes first named. This I commenced to do, as it seemed interesting to ascertain if theory and experi- ment agreed quantitatively. Now it is easy to see that with a finite length of the altered or abnormal part of the wires we should have not a single reflection merely, but two places at which reflections would occur, namely, the beginning and the end of this abnormal part, I thus anticipated that interference phenomena would occur, and that if the length of the abnormal part were gradually increased, the intensity of the transmitted waves would periodically increase and decrease. The best arrangement which I have obtained for observing these interference effects is that diagramatically shown in fig, 2. Explanation of Fig. 2. I. Induction coil worked by two secondary cells. G.

The needle of the electrometer is uncharged, and therefore turns in the same direction whether E or E’ is positive, and is thus able to give a deflection undis- turbed by the high frequency used, viz., about 33 million per second. Although the interference phenomena under consideration are essentially analogous to those of light in thin plates, yet the mathematical theory of the latter will not suffice for our case. Because in the optical phenomena the ampli- tude of the incident light may be assumed constant, whereas in the electrical analogue the primary oscillator emits waves each of which is feebler than its predecessor. It thus induces in the long wires a continually diminishing series of waves which advance along the wires in the form of a damped train with its large end leading. I have already published an elementary mathematical theory! dealing with the interference phenomena of such a wave train. The results of this theory when Fic. 3.—Enlarged view of the ‘abnormal part’ of the wires. graphically exhibited, the lengths of the abnormal part being abscisse, and the intensities of the transmitted waves being ordinates, yield a damped wavy curve. For the constants involved in the experiment hereafter described this theory gives 1 Proc, Roy. Soc., vol. 54, 1893, p. 96. 694 REPORT—1893. the curve shown by T, fig. 4. It is thus seen that the lengths of the abnormal parts which give maxima and minima are the same as in the corresponding optical phenomena, but that the values of these maxima and minima, instead of being respectively equal, as in optics, form a damped series fading away to a common steady value. These interference phenomena may, of course, be experimentally obtained by any of the changes in the wires which produce reflection. But the most striking method which I have found is that of hanging sheets of tin foil upon the con- ducting wires so as to form the abnormal part, as shown in fig. 3. The sheets of tin foil were 32 cm. deep, the cross-pieces used for separating the wires and sheets were of wood, The beginning of the abnormal part thus formed reflected a wave whose ampli- tude is of the order 0°8 of that incident upon it. With this arrangement upwards of 200 electrometer readings were taken, the final result of which is shown by the upper curve marked E in fig. 4, the lengths of the abnormal parts being abscissze and the intensities of the transmitted waves ordinates. It is noticeable that in fig. 4 the theoretical curve lies wholly below the experimental one. The dis- Fic. 4.—Energy of transmitted waves. Ratio of El-ctrometer throws oO fm 2 3 # 5 6 7 3 9 70m.

On Interference Phenomena exhibited by the Passage of Electric Waves through Layers of Electrolyte! By G. Upny Yuun. This research was begun by the author with a view to try and definitely answer the question whether electrolytes possess for rapid electric oscillations the same resistance as tor steady currents. Some attempts were first made to directly improve the procedure used in 1889 by Prof. J. J. Thomson,” but the results were unsatisfactory, and the following method, by which it was hoped absolute measure- ments might be obtained, was finally adopted :— The electric waves (wave-length 9 metres) were propagated between a pair 1 Published in Pxil. Mag., xxxvi. (1893), pp. 531-545. * Proc. Roy. Soc., xlv. 1889, p. 269. ~~ TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 095 of long copper wires spanned 6 centimetres apart. A short length of these wires was then immersed in an electrolyte, and the intensities of the transmitted wave trains for several different thicknesses of the electrolyte layer compared by an electrometer. If the altered intensity of the wave train were due solely to absorp- tion in the conducting layer, it would be easy from such data to calculate the conductivity of the solution. The matter proved, however, to be not so simple. The transmitted intensity did not regularly decrease, but varied periodically. The effect was obviously analogous to, or rather identical with, the interference phenomena of thin plates. The transmitted ray is a minimum for a plate a quarter wave-length thick, a maximum for a plate a half wave-length thick, &c. ' Owing to this, and a further experimental complication arising from the multiple reflection of waves between every pair of reflecting points on the circuit, the method became too complex to permit of calculating the conductivity of the solution, but the phenomenon retained sufficient intrinsic interest to warrant more complete investigation. Curves showing the transmitted intensity as the thickness of the layer was increased were determined for water, dilute solutions of zinc sulphate, 95 per cent. alcohol, and a mixture of alcohol and water. In all cases the first maximum is very well marked. As this first maximum gives us the half wave-length in the liquid, the method can be used for determining dielectric constants. The following table gives those thus determined for the liquids men- tioned above :— Distilled water . ° . - 69°5 | 95 per cent. alcohol r . « 267 (1) ZnSO, solution : . . 72:0 | 3 volumes 95 per cent. alcohol 34-1 Mt)! | 55 cb e < ‘ OL) 1 volume water . The figures for water and alcohol, though rather low, agree approximately with those found by previous investigators ; and the experiments with zinc sulphate solutions confirm Cohn’s result,’ that an addition of salt which largely affects the conductivity of a solution only slightly increases its dielectric constant. An attempt was finally made to determine the constants of common salt and of soda crystals, but owing to the disturbance of the multiple reflections noted above scarcely any interference effects were noticeable. This shows, however, that the constants for these materials approximate more to normal values than the very high figures found for water and alcohol. 10. On a Familiar Type of Caustic Curves. By J. Larmor, F.R.S. The illustration of the formation of caustics by the reflection of the light of the sun or other point-source from a band of polished metal is in everyday use. But it seems worth while to call attention to the fact that obliquity of the incidence on a cylindrical reflector does not vitiate the experiment as an exact representation of the geometrical caustic. The bright caustic surface formed by reflection from a cylinder is, in fact, always itself cylindrical ; and the caustic curve depicted on any screen placed across it is merely the section of this cylinder formed by the screen. Although, once this proposition is propounded, its reason is plain, yet it does not seem to have occurred to any of the writers on optics. It may be shown, also, that when the reflector is a piece of a conical surface the caustic surface is always a conical surface with the same vertex—thus suggest- ing an extension of the theory of actual caustics into spherical geometry, or rather realising in actuality the analogous theory in spherical geometry. More generally, when the reflector is such as may be bent flat without stretching, ¢.e., when it is a piece of a developable surface, the caustic surface is one of the same kind, and a geometrical correlation may be established between them. } Wied.

Report of the Committee on the Pellian EquationSee Reports, p. 73. 3. On a Spherical Vortex. By M. J. M. Hutt, M.A., D.Sc., Professor of Mathematics at University College, London. In a paper by the author published in the ‘ Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society’ in 1884, on the Motion of Fluid, part of which is moving rotationally and part irrotationally, a certain case of motion symmetrical with regard to an axis was noticed. Taking the axis of symmetry as the axis of z, and the distance of any point from it as 7, it was shown that the surfaces ar? (2 —Z)* +b (2? —4c*)? = const., where a, 6, -c are fixed constants, Z any arbitrary function of the time, contain always the same particles of fluid in a possible case of motion. If the constant be less than 3c‘ these surfaces’are rings.” The author has not succeeded in determining an irrotational motion on one side of any of these surfaces continuous with the rotational motion on the other side, except in the particular case in which 6=a, and the constant on the right-hand side = dc". The object of this paper is to discuss this case. In it the surface containing the same particles of fluid breaks up into the eyanescent cylinder 7 =0, and the sphere 4 (2-Z)=c?. The molecular rotation is given by 20=10ar, so that the molecular rotation along the axis vanishes, and therefore the vortex sphere still possesses the character of a vortex ring. The irrotational motion outside a sphere moving in a straight line is known, and it is shown in this paper that it will be continuous with the rotational motion inside the sphere provided a certain relation be satisfied. This relation may be expressed thus :— The cyclic constant of the spherical vortex is five times the product of the radius of the sphere and the uniform velocity with which the vortex sphere moves along its axis. The analytic expression of the same relation is 4ac? = 82. This makes : 2@ = 15Z7/(2c*). All the particulars of the motion are placed together in the following table. The notation employed is as follows :— If the velocity parallel to the axis of r ber, and the velocity parallel to the axis of z be w, then the molecular rotation is given by dr dw oye We: ‘5 dz dr Also p is the pressure, p the density, and V the potential of the impressed forces. 697 TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A.

The result was reached that if the smallest and largest radii and the volume of the permeable matter are given, the shielding is a maximum for a given portion of the empty shell. Ifthe magnetic field is produced by a small magnet placed at the common centre of the shells, if the empty space is small and the matter highly permeable, the best position is that in which the volume enclosed by the ‘crack’ is the harmonic mean of the volumes included by the outermost and innermost surface. 5.

On the Equations for Calculating the Effect of a Hertzian Oscillator on Points in its Neighbourhood. By Professor G. F. FirzGeratp, M.A., F.R.S. Attention was recalled to the error made by Maxwell when he assumes that for variable electrification it is legitimate to assume that A*y=0 at points of space where there was no electrification. The true expression is A3y=Kyu.y. The , : cos u du : Res evaluation of the integrals |———__ was also advocated in order to facilitate Fr the calculation of the effects of a linear Hertzian vibrator on points in its neigh- bourhood, The elliptic motion of the electric force in the neighbourhood of such an oscillator follows at once from the fact that the vector potential is parallel to the oscillator, and may be taken as A=7F, From this we get that the magnetic force is H = VAA, and thence the electric force 5 = VAH. If the vibration on the oscillator be simply periodic it is easy to see that the form of E is E=E, cos ane var sin 278, T KF where E, and E, are two vectors, so that E is the vector of an ellipse. In determining the period of vibration of an oscillator the difficulty arises that ‘the energy is being dissipated by radiation, and that some impressed forces must TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 699 be exerted on the oscillator to keep the vibration simply periodic, and if the im- pressed force be of a proper period any period of vibration is possible. To solve the problem a system of equal incoming waves is superposed on the outgoing ones, and then the simply periodic vibration is possible without any impressed force, and this condition then gives the free period of vibration. 7.

A number, N, of which the m digits on the right hand are the same as the m digits on the right hand of its nth power (N*), when both are expressed in the scale whose radix is 7, is styled an AGREEABLE NUMBER of the mth order and nth degree in the r-ary scale. When the agreement of N, a number of m digits, with its nth power, extends throughout its m digits, the number N is styled a Complete Agreeable Number. The analytical condition is N*—N must be divisible by r™. The properties of these numbers are investigated in a quite general manner applicable to any scale of radix7; and szmple rules for their computation given. hese rules are completely reduced for the denary scale to their simplest form, and the auxiliary quantities are tabulated. Computations of complete agreeable numbers are given in detail for the denary scale. Tables are given of all agreeable numbers to the fifth order, and in some cases to the tenth order. Example.—The numbers, N, of ten digits (shown in table below), and also the numbers of fewer digits obtainable therefrom by erasing one or more of the extreme left-hand digits of N, are complete agreeables in all the degrees n stated in column ; and are, moreover, the only complete agreeables (of ten digits, or less, ending in 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8) in all those degrees, except when z has the critical forms named in column n’, in which case there are a number of complete agreeables (increasing rapidly with the value of n’ and with the number of digits of N).

The author described and exhibited samples of simple apparatus which he had devised for the purpose of practical instruction in physics. The object aimed at was to devise arrangements by which the chief quantitative laws of physics could be verified with fair accuracy, and which should at the same time be so inexpensive that they could be multiplied at a small cost, so that all the members of a class could make the same experiments at one time. In addition to the mere saving of expense, it was maintained that the simplification of apparatus, so long as it was efficient for its purpose, had the positive advantage of bringing students into more direct contact with the phenomena to be studied than was the case with more elaborate and complicated appliances. 4. On Physics Teaching in Schools! By W.B.Crort, M.A. It must be remembered that there are several classes of students: — 1. Those who aim at scientific or technical careers, but are compelled to make their education as brief as possible. 2, Those to whom science is the best education. 3. Those who may aspire to be mathematical physicists, and can afford to enjoy the benefit of wide and varied education, 4, The great majority receiving at our schools the usual general training in preparation for various professions. None of these should be without the benefits of science. Of the first two classes I have not the experience to speak. The latter two appear to me to be well provided for under one scheme. Soon after the Duke of Devonshire’s commission twenty years ago action was taken by the new governing bodies of public schoo's to make effective the recommendations of the British Association in 1867, At Winchester teachers and suitable apparatus were pro- vided for the following scheme :— If a boy were to pass up the school between the ages of twelve and nineteen, he would learn— First year : Geometrical drawing, botany, physical geography. Second year : Simple mechanics and graphics, hydrostatics, heat. Third year : Chemistry. Fourth year : Chemistry. Fifth year : Geology. Sixth year: Electricity. Seventh year : Acoustics, geometrical and physical optics. Two hours per week, with one or two hours out of school work. Biology purposely has no place. It is better to be able to engage the interests of boys in it without reference to their age or position in the school. This is excellently done by a Natural History Society. The general nature of teaching in the sixth and seventh years consists of experimental demonstrations of phenomena over as wide a range as possible. Boys who survive in a school to this stage are usually capable of appreciating scientific ideas through lectures, but in a public school they are seldom able to give time for practical work done by themselves. Those who may afterwards be thorough physicists had better be much occupied at this age with mathematics. So far as ? The full paper is published in the Educational Times. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 701 possible they should avail themselves of the opportunities which most schools give for learning drawing, carpentering, and photography. There is a significance in the order of subjects as arranged above. Experience shows that the subjects are suited to the various ages. 5. Notes on Science Teaching in Public Schools. By A. EB. Hawstns, B.Sc. The following ‘items’ represent convictions formed after twenty-two years’ experience, the greater part of which (fifteen years) have been spent in the Bedford Modern School of about 600 boys. I. The subject must be taught experimentally. The author has knownsplendid examinational results obtained without a single experiment having been performed by either teacher or taught. In the hands of an experienced and vivacious teacher it is astonishing what mere drawings on the blackboard can accomplish for examinational purposes, disastrous, however, to real science. Experiments involve the expenditure of much time; very frequently one is enough for a lesson—e.g., determination of a specific heat or the resistance of a wire. If it is asked how an examination can be passed when time is so short, the answer is ‘ Teach, and let the examination take care of itself? Where real teach- ing exists a pupil, worthy of the name, will soon find ways and means of getting up collateral matter. But an experiment is not everything. It must be led up to. It must be preceded by discussion, and questions and answers should follow. The conversational method is very difficult, especially with classes of thirty or more. Only one or two points can be made in a three-quarters of an hour lesson, and the matter must be clearly summed up at the end. The other quarter of an hour should be spent in writing an answer to a good comprehensive question. The answers should be marked and returned at the beginning of the next lesson. I. But this is only half the work; experiments must now be done by the boys themselves. But practical work means plenty of apparatus, which in the majority of cases is not expensive. For a class of thirty boys ten sets at least will be re- quired, which will allow three boys to work together. It is, however, much better if they can be arranged in pairs. The boys, having done their experiments, should take their rough results home, and bring to the next lesson a clean copy and a detailed account of the method, with a drawing where desirable. II. The work required of a pupil must frequently be, as far as he is concerned, original. A class, long accustomed to mere reproduction of the teacher’s words and _ ideas, will feel unwonted life and delight if requested to devise some improvement upon a method just used, or to say what they would expect to happen if some modification were made, This is one of the surest ways of engendering an intelligent interest in the subject taught. IV. What science should be taught? Heat and magnetism are the two best where expense is a primary consideration, and it is desired to get to work at once. Electricity should come afterwards, as so much of the subject, even in the simplest experiments, requires explanations which must be based on theory. V. The teacher must have time allowed him to prepare the apparatus. Like other masters he has to prepare his lectures and also to correct exercises, but besides the preparation he has frequently to manufacture apparatus. This requires an expenditure of time which is, unfortunately, sometimes unrecognised, 6.

Viriamu JONES. [This paper forms Appendix III. of the Report of the Electrical Standards Committee.—See Reports, p. 137.] 3. An Apparatus for Comparing nearly Equal Resistances. By F. H. Nauper. The instrument shown fulfils the purpose of commutating the resistances to be compared with respect to the ratio resistance coils and a series of bridge wires, to be used according to the value of the coils under comparison. It consists of copper bars mounted on an ebonite base, and furnished with mercury cups for making the necessary contacts. At A A, and BB, are the cups for the ratio coils, which are wound upon one bobbin and usually of the value of 1%, 10”, 100”, and 1,000” on each side. At II, and J J, are placed the resistances whose difference is to be measured, and at G is the slide wire mounted on a detachable frame, with the key M, which runs on the divided rod L for making contact. CD EF show the commutator connections in the first position, and after com- mutation in the position O,D,E,F, as indicated by the dotted lines. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 703 In order to commutate the coils R and X, the ebonite plate upon which the connections C D KE F are mounted is drawn up against the spring which presses the contacts into their respective cups, until the guide pin is lifted out of its recess. The late can then be turned through 180° till the contacts are in the position shown = the dotted lines marked C,D,E,F, ; the galvanometer is then brought to zero by moving the contact key M into another position on its wire. The battery connections are shown at K K, and those of the galyanometer at MO. Tn order to obtain a wide range of measurement, instead of using a long wire a number of short bridge wires are provided, usually about ten, though if necessary this number need not be considered the limit. The plate upon which each wire is mounted is detachable, as already stated, and in addition to the milled head N two steady pins are fixed in the base of the com- mutator so that it or any of the series can always be replaced accurately in posi- tion with respect to the scale and key. A considerable variation of resistance of the short bridge wires shown will not vitiate the accuracy of the measurement. This apparatus has been in use for the last five years substantially as now shown. 4. Note on a Galvanometer suited to Physiological Use. By Dr. Oxtver Lopes, F.R.S., and F. H. Naver. Physiologists require galvanometers for exhibiting very small transient currents, but they seem often to use highly damped galvanometers for the purpose. The first-named author, after some experiences with Professor Gotch, concluded that a more suitable galvanometer could be designed, and accordingly sent a sketch to Messrs. Nalder Brothers, who have carried it out. The main points are :— 1, Extreme lightness and small moment of inertia of needle, 2. Great intensity of magnetisation. 3. Wire brought very close to the needle, so as to give a strong field without excessive resistance, and to have many small coils in preference to few big ones. 4, To avoid damping and to secure a long period by delicate suspension film rather than by heavy needle. 5. To use either a bee sting or some other sharp point in field of microscope for reading, wherever a spot of light is inconvenient, The last condition has not been attended to yet, and perhaps biologists would not care for it. The second-named author finds the sensitiveness of a galvano- meter as above designed with 8 coils two or three times as sensitive as usual. 5. On a Simple Interference Arrangement. By Lord Rayuzicx, Sec.R.8. If a point, or line, of light be regarded through a telescope, the aperture of which is limited to two narrow parallel slits, interference bands are seen, of which the theory is given in treatises on Optics. The width of the bands is inversely proportional to the distance between the centres of the slits, and the width of the field, upon which the bands are seen, is inversely proportional to the width of the individual slits. If the latter element be given, it will usually be advantageous to approximate the slits until only a small number of bands are included. In this _ Way not only are the bands rendered larger, but illumination may be gained by the _ then admissible widening of the original source. Supposing, then, the proportions of the double slit to be given, we may inquire as to the effect of an alteration in scale. A diminution in ratio m will have the effect of magnifying m times the field and the bands (fixed in number) visible upon it. Since the total aperture is diminished m times, it might appear that the illumination would be diminished m?* times, but the admissible widening of the 704 REPORT—1893. original source m times reduces the loss, so that it stands at m times, instead of m? times. It remains, and this is more particularly the object of the present note, to point out the effect of the telescope upon the angular magnitude and illumination of the bands. If the magnifying power of the telescope exceed the ratio of aperture of object glass and pupil, its introduction is prejudicial. And even if the above limit be not exceeded, the use of the telescope is without advantage, The relation between the greatest brightness and the apparent magnitude of the bands is the same whether a telescope be used or not, the loss by reflections and absorptions being neglected. The function of the telescope is merely to magnify the linear dimensions of the slit system. This magnification is sometimes important, especially when it is desirable to operate separately upon the interfering pencils. But when the object is merely to see the bands, the telescope may be abolished without loss. The only difficulty is to construct the very diminutive slit system then required. In the arrangement now exhibited, the slits are very fine lines formed by ruling with a knife upon a silver film supported upon glass. This double slit is mounted at one end of a tube, and at the other is placed a parallel slit. It then suffices to look through the tube at a candle or gas flame in order to see interference bands in a high degree of perfection. It is suggested that this simple apparatus could be turned out very cheaply, and that its introduction into the market would tend to popularise acquaintance with interference phenomena. 6. On the Construction of Specula for Reflecting Telescopes upon New Principles! By Dr. A. SHararix. 7. Supplementary Note on the Ether. By Dr. Oxtver Lopez, F.R.S. After my paper on Friday asserting no mechanical stress connection between ether and matter, Mr. Cowper Ranyard asked me, ‘ How, then, does dust polarise light ?’ Or more generally the question might be asked, ‘ How can ordinary matter affect light in any way ?’ The note is suggested by that question, and the point of it is that since the dust is not electrified it cannot (ex hypothest ) be acted on by oscillating ether, but only by electric oscillations. (The action of dust on the electromagnetic theory has been explained by Lord Rayleigh.) Hence all elastic-solid, or mechanical theories of light appear to the author provisionally disproved. 8. On the Publication of Scientific Papers. By A. B. Basset, M.A., B.S. Two suggestions have been made with regard to the publication of scientific papers—first, that all papers of importance should be published in a central organ; secondly, that a digest containing an abstract of such papers should from time to time be published. I do not think the first scheme could be carried out so as to serve any useful purpose; for, although it might suit the requirements of a few juvenile societies, it is unlikely that societies of position and standing, which have ample funds at their command for the publication of their proceedings and transactions, would consent to sink their individuality by giving up the publication of papers com- municated to them. Moreover, as many societies derive a considerable portion of their income from the sale of their proceedings, it would be impossible for them to allow the concurrent publication of papers in the central organ, as this might seriously diminish their revenue. 1 Published in full in Industries, 1892. iA TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION A. 705 The importance of distributing copies of papers in quarters where they are likely to be read has been alluded to in ‘ Nature’ by more than one correspondent. In order to do this effectively it is necessary that the author should receive a certain number of gratuitous copies. These are supplied by most scientific societies, and also by many of the American and foreign scientific journals. On the other hand, the ‘ Philosophical Magazine’ refuses to present authors with any yratuitous copies, but makes them pay for any that they require. The question, therefore, arises as to whether the proposed ‘central organ’ is going to conduct its business on the principle embodied in the Latin maxim, Do ut des, do ut facias, facio ut des, facio ut facias, or whether it intends to follow the example of the ‘Philosophical Magazine,’ and try to get all it can without giving anything in return. It appears to me most improbable that important and prosperous societies like the Cambridge Philosophical and the London Mathematical (to say nothing of the Royal) would lend a hand in promoting the scheme of a central organ; and in that event the scheme could not possibly be successful unless it were able to offer far greater advantages and attractions to authors than the societies do. The only feasible scheme seems to be the publication of a digest of papers by the co-operation of the various scientific societies ; and, if thought desirable, papers published in foreign countries might also be included. In order to prepare the way for such a digest, I should strongly recommend that in future all societies should follow the example of the Incorporated Society for Law Reporting, and require authors to append a headnote to their papers briefly setting forth the object of the investigation. Every three or four years the titles and headnotes of all papers relating to each separate branch of science should be copied out and arranged in proper order, and a series of digests of each separate branch of science should be published. Mathematicians would thus be enabled to purchase the mathematical digests, and chemists the chemical one. They would thereby be in a position to find out at a glance what papers have been published on their own special subjects during that period. These digests would do for science what the digests of law cases have done for the legal profession. Thirty years’ experience has shown that this scheme would work well in practice; and as many country solicitors take in the ‘ Law Reports,’ any member of the British Association who desires further information can easily obtain it by applying to one of the leading firms in Nottingham. To develop an existing periodical which is a well-known and paying concern is often more successful than to start an entirely new one; and as many authors who contribute papers to societies send abstracts of them to ‘ Nature,’ it might be worth while considering whether an arrangement could not be made with the pyro- prietors of ‘ Nature’ by which a supplemental number could be issued (say, once a quarter) containing a digest of the most important papers published in the United Kingdom during that period. The abstracts (with possibly a little pruning), and also the type used in setting them up, would be available, and the cost of compiling the supplemental number would have to be met by a small extra charge for it. A committee of members of the British Association might be formed with advantage for discussing this matter, and drawing up a report embodying the recommendations at which they arrive. A copy of the report should then be sent as soon as practicable (without waiting for the meeting next year) to the presidents of the principal scientific societies, in order that it may be laid before their respec- tive governing bodies. Each of the societies which are concerned with pure and applied mathematics and approve of united action could then appoint a delegate to discuss further proceedings with regard to their own particular subjects, and the same could be done by societies connected with other branches of science. 9.

Bryan, M.A. The problem of electro-magnetic induction in spherical and ellipsoidal current sheets has been dealt with by Professor Niven, Dr. Larmor, Professor Horace Lamb, and other writers, but, so far as the author is aware, no attempt has been made to apply the method of images to current sheets except in the well-known case of an infinite plane sheet, so fully treated by Maxwell and other writers. The author has worked out the images of a fixed magnetic pole of variable intensity in presence of a spherical current sheet, and has performed the corresponding investi- gation for the cylinder under the influence of a line distribution of magnetism of variable intensity parallel to the axis of the cylinder, the problem being in this case two dimensional. From the results thus obtained the images of a moving pole may be constructed in the same manner as for a plane sheet. In the particular case of a pole revolving outside a spherical shell about its centre, the images which determine the magnetic potential at any point zmside the shell lie on an equiangular spiral. 12. On Thermal Relations between Air and Water. By Huce Rosert Mit, D.Sc., F.R.S.L. The conclusions stated in this paper were deduced mainly from the author's observations on the Clyde Sea Area. The physical character of the Clyde Sea Area depends mainly on the form of the hollows of which it is composed and the degree of isolation of each from oceanic influences. The North Channel between Scotland and Ireland was found always in a homothermic condition, z.e,, the tem- perature was the same from surface to bottom, an effect traced to the tidal mixing of the water. The Channel water was on the average of the whole year 1°7 F., warmer than the air at the Mull of Cantyre. The air reached its maximum in the end of July, the water not until the middle of September. Up to that date the air was warmer, but from September to April the water was warmer. On the plateau or broad shallow stretching across the mouth of the Sea Area from Cantyre to Galloway the water was usually highly heterothermic, z.e., the tempera- ture varied greatly from surface to bottom. Only at the period of the annual minimum was the temperature uniform throughout. On the plateau the Channel water mixed with that of the great Arran basin, the deepest and most open of the natural divisions of the Clyde Sea Area, In the Arran basin the water was homo- thermic throughout at each spring minimum about the month of March, and as heat was being stored or lost the lower layers remained homothermic, becoming least so about the time of the autumn maximum. The surface layers heated up most rapidly, and cooled down most rapidly, but the average temperature of the whole mass of water was always lower than that of the Channel, except for about a month at the spring minimum. The maximum temperature of the mass also was retarded to the middle of October, up to which date the water as a whole was colder than the air, but after that date was warmer till the spring minimum. The condition of things in the more isolated barred off sea lochs, such as Loch Fyne and Loch Goil, showed still more strongly the effects of isolation from oceanic influence. The mass of the water in Loch Fyne, although nearly of the same temperature as the other divisions about the period of minimum, was much colder during the rest of the year than that of the Arran basin, which in turn was colder than the Channel. The date of maximum temperature was a few weeks later than that of the Arran basin, and at least three months later than that of the air. The difference between the behaviour of the surface and bottom water with regard to temperature became more and more marked with the degree of isolation from oceanic water. In Loch Fyne and Loch Goil the warmth of summer did not affect the bottom water for about six months, and the greatest cold of winter took about three months to make itself felt at the bottom.

Section B—CHEMICAL SCIENCE. PRESIDENT OF THE SECTION—Professor J. Emprson Reynoxps, M.D., Sc.D., F.R.S. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. The PReEsIpDENT delivered the following Address :— At the Nottingham Meeting of the British Association in 1866, Dr. H. Bence Jones addressed the Section over which I have now the honour to preside on the place of Chemical Science in Medical Education. Without dwelling on this topic to-day, it is an agreeable duty to acknowledge the foresight of my predecessor as to the direction of medical progress. Twenty-seven years ago the methods of inquiry and instruction in medicine were essentially based on the formal lines of the last generation. Dr. Bence Jones saw that modern methods of research in chemistry— and in the experimental sciences generally—must profoundly influence medicine, and he urged the need of fuller training of medical students in those sciences, The anticipated influence is now operative as a powerful factor in the general progress of medicine and medical education; but much remains to be desired in regard to the chemical portion of that education. In the later stages: of it undue importance is still attached to the knowledge of substances rather than. of principles; of products instead of the broad characters of the chemical changes in which they are formed. Without this higher class of instruction it is unreason- able to expect an intelligent perception of complex physiological and pathological processes which are chemical in character, or much real appreciation of modern pharmacological research. I have little doubt, however, that the need for this fuller chemical education will soon be so strongly felt that the necessary reform will come from within a profession which has given ample proof in recent years of its zeal in the cause of scientific progress. In our own branch of science the work of the year has been substantial in character, if almost unmarked by discoveries of popular interest. We may probably place in the latter category the measure of success which the skill of Moissan has enabled him to attain in the artificial production of the diamond form of carbon, apparently in minute crystals similar to those recognised by Koenig, Mallard, Daubrée, and by Friedel in the supposed meteorite of Canon de Diablo in Arizona. Members of the Section will probably have the opportunity of examining some of these artiticial diamonds through the courtesy of M. Moissan, who has also, at my request, been so good as to arrange for us a demonstration of the properties of the element fluorine, which he succeeded in isolating in 1887. Not less interesting or valuable are the studies of Dr. Perkin, on electro-magnetic rotation; of Lord Rayleigh, on the relative densities of gases; of Dewar, on chemical relations at extremely low temperatures ; of Clowes, on exact measurements of flame-cap indications afforded by Miners’ testing lamps; of Horace Brown and Morris, on the chemistry and physiology of foliage leaves, by which they have been led io the startling conclusion that cane-sugar is the first sugar produced during the assimilation of carbon, and that starch is formed at its expense as a more stable TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 709 reserve material for subsequent use of the plant; or of Cross, Bevan, and Beadle, on the interaction of alkali-cellulose and carbon bisulphide, in the course of which they have proved that a cellulose residue can act like an alcohol radical in the formation of thiocarbonates, and thus have added another to the authors’ valuable contributions to our knowledge of members of the complex group of celluloses. But it is now an idle task fora President of this Section to attempt a slight sketch of the works of chemical philosophers even during the short space of twelve months; they are too numerous and generally too important to be lightly treated, hence we can but apply to them a paraphrase of the ancient formula—Are they not written in the books of the chronicles we term ‘ Jahresberichte,’ ‘ Annales,’ or “Transactions and Abstracts,’ according to our nationality ? I would, however, in this connection ask your consideration for a question re- lating to the utilisation of the vast stores of facts laid up—some might even say buried—in the records to which reference has just been made. The need exists, and almost daily becomes greater, for facile reference to this accumulated wealth, and of such a kind that an investigator, commencing a line of inquiry with whose previous history he is not familiar, can be certain to learn al/ the facts known on the subject up to a particular date, instead of having only the partial record to be found in even the best edited of the dictionaries now available. The best and most obvious method of attaining this end is the publication of a subject-matter index ofan ideally complete character. I am glad to know that the Chemical Society of London will probably provide us in the years to come with a compilation which will doubtless aim at a high standard of value as a work of reference to memoirs, and in some degree to their contents, so far as the existing indexes of the volumes of the Society’s Journal supply the information. Whether this subject-matter index is published or not, the time has certainly arrived for adopting the imme- diately useful course of publishing monographs, analogous to those now usual in Natural Science, which shall contain all the information gained up to a particular date in the branch of chemistry with which the author is specially familiar by reason of his own work in the subject. Such monographs should include much more than any mere compilation, and would form the best material from which a complete subject-matter index might ultimately be evolved. My attention was forcibly drawn to the need of such special recerds by noting the comparatively numerous cases of re-discovery and imperfect identification of derivatives of thiourea. In my laboratory, where this substance was isolated, we naturally follow with interest all work connected with it, and therefore readily detect lapses of the kind just mentioned. But when it is remembered that the distinct derivatives of thiourea now known number considerably over six hundred substances, and that their descriptions are scattered through numerous British and foreign journals, considerable excuse can be found for workers overlooking former results. The difficulty which exists in this one small department of the science I hope shortly to remove, and trust that others may be induced to provide similar works of reference to the particular branches of chemistry with which they are personally most familiar. When we consider the drift of investigation in recent years, it is easy to recog- nise a distinct reaction from extreme specialisation in the prominence now given to general physico-chemical problems, and to those broad questions concerning the relations of the elements which I would venture to group under the head of ‘Com- see Chemistry.’ Together these lines of inquiry afford promise of definite in- ormation about the real nature of the seventy or more entities we term ‘ elements,’ and about the mechanism of that mysterious yet definite change in matter which we call ‘ chemical action.’ Now and again one or other class of investiga- tion enables us to get some glimpse beyond the known which stimulates the imaginative faculty. For example, a curious side-light seems to be thrown on the nature of the elements by the chemico-physical discussion of the connection existing between the constitution of certain organic compounds and the colours they exhibit. _ Without attempting to intervene in the interesting controversy in which Armstrong and Hartley are engaged as to the nature of the connection, we may take it as an 710 REPORT—1893. established fact that a relation exists between the power which a dissolved chemical compound possesses of producing the colour impression within our comparatively small visual range, and the particular mode of grouping of its constituent radicals in its molecule. Further, the reality of this connection will be most freely admitted in the class of aromatic compounds; that is, in derivatives of benzene, whose con- stituents are so closely linked together as to exhibit quasi-elemental persistence. Tf, then, the possession of what we call colour by a compound be connected with its constitution, may we not infer that ‘elements’ which exhibit distinct colour, such as gold and copper, in thin layers and in their soluble compounds, are at least complexes analogous to definitely decomposable substances? This inference, while legitimate as it stands, would obviously acquire strength if we could show that any- thing like isomerism exists among the elements; for identity of atomic weight of any two chemically distinct elements must, by all analogy with compounds, imply dissimilarity in constitution, and, therefore, definite structure, independently of any argument derived from colour. Now, nickel and cobalt are perfectly distinct elements, as we all know, but, so far as existing evidence goes, the observed differ— ences in their atomic weights (nickel 58°6, cobalt 58°7) are so small as to be within the range of the experimental errors to which the determinations were liable. Here, then, we seem to have the required example of something like isomerism among elements, and consequently some evidence that these substances are complexes: of different orders; but in the cases of cobalt and nickel we also know that in transparent solutions of their salts, if not in thin layers of the metals themselves, they exhibit strong and distinct colours—compare the beautiful rosy tint of cobalt sulphate with the brilliant green of the corresponding salt of nickel. Therefore, in exhibiting characteristically different colours, these substances afford us some further evidence of structural differences between the matter of which they consist, and support the conclusion to which their apparent identity in atomic weight: would lead us. By means of such side-lights we may gradually acquire some idea. of the nature of the elements, even if we are unable to get any clue to their origin other than such as may be found in Crookes’ interesting speculations. Again, while our knowledge of the genesis of the chemical elements is as small as astronomers possess of the origin of the heavenly bodies, much suggestive work has recently been accomplished in the attempt to apply the principle of gravitation,. which simply explains the relative motions of the planets, to account for the inter- actions of the molecules of the elements. The first step in this direction was sug- gested by Mendeleef in his Royal Institution lecture (May 31, 1889), wherein he proposed to apply Newton’s third law of motion to chemical molecules, regarded as: systems of atoms analogous to double stars. The Rev. Dr. Haughton has. followed up this idea with his well-known mathematical skill, and, in a series of papers just published, has shown that the three Newtonian laws are applicable to explain the interactions of chemical molecules, ‘with this difference, that whereas: the specific coefficient of gravity is the'same for all bodies, independent of the particu- lar kind of matter of which they are composed, the atoms have specific coefficients of attraction which vary with the nature of the atoms concerned.’ The laws of gravitation, with this proviso, were found to apply to all the definite cases examined, and it was shown that a chemical change of combination is equivalent to a planetary catastrophe: So far the fundamental hypothesis of ‘ Newtonian Chemistry ’ bas led to conclusions which are not at variance with the facts of the science, while it gives promise of help in obtaining a solution of the great problem of the nature of chemical action. Passing from considerations of the kind to which I have just referred, permit me to occupy the rest of the time at my disposal with a short account of a line of study in what I have already termed ‘comparative chemistry,’ which is not only of inherent interest, but seems to give us the means of filling in some details of a hitherto rather neglected chapter in the early chemical history of this earth. The most remarkable outcome of ‘comparative chemistry’ is the periodic law of the elements, which asserts that the properties of the elements are connected in the form of a periodic function with the masses of their atoms. Concurrently with the recognition of this principle, other investigations have been in progress, aiming; TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 711 at more exact definitions of the characters of the relations of the elements, and ultimately of their respective offices in nature. Among inquiries of this kind the comparative study of the elements carbon and silicon appears to me to possess the highest interest. Carbon, whether combined with hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen, or with all three, is the great element of organic nature, while silicon, in union with oxygen and various metals, not only forms about one-third of the solid crust of the earth, but is unquestionably the most important element of inorganic nature. The chief functions of carbon are those which are performed at comparatively low temperatures ; hence carbon is essentially the element of the present epoch. On the other hand, the activities of silicon are most marked at very high temperatures ; hence it is the element whose chief work in nature was performed in the distant past, when the temperature of this earth was far beyond that at which the carbon compounds of organic life could exist. Yet between these dominant elements of widely different epochs remarkably close analogies are traceable, and the characteristic differences observed in their relations with other elements are just those which enable each to play its part effectively under the conditions which promote its greatest activity. The chemical analogies of the two tetrad elements carbon and silicon are most easily recognised in compounds which either do not contain oxygen, or which are oxygen compounds of a very simple order, and the following table will recall a few of the most important of these, as well as some which have resulted from the fine researches of Friedel, Crafts, and Ladenburg :— Some Silicon Analogues of Carbon Compounds.

C,H .OH But these silicon analogues of carbon compounds are, generally, very different from the latter in reactive power, especially in presence of oxygen and water. For example, hydride of silicon, even when pure, is very easily decomposed, and, if slightly warmed, is spontaneously inflammable in air; whereas the analogous marsh gas does not take fire in air below a red heat. Again, the chlorides of silicon are rapidly attacked by water affording silicon hydroxides and hydrochloric acid ; but the analogous carbon chlorides are little affected by water even at com- paratively high temperatures. Similarly, silicon-chloroform and water quickly produce silico-formic acid and anhydride along with hydrochloric acid, while ordi- nary chloroform can be kept in contact with water for a considerable time without material change. Until recently no well-defined compounds of silicon were known including nitrogen; but we are now acquainted with a number of significant substances of this class. Chemists have long been familiar with the fact that a violent reaction takes place when silicon chloride and ammonia are allowed to interact. Persoz, in 1830, assumed that the resulting white powder was an addition compound, and assigned to it the formula SiCl,, 6 NH,, Pik Besson, as lately as 1892, gave SiCl,, 5 NH,. These formule only express the proportions in which ammonia reacts with the chloride under different conditions, and give us no information as to the real nature of the product; hence they are almost useless. Other chemists have, however, carefully examined the product of this reaction, but owing to peculiar difficulties 712 REPORT—1893. in the way have not obtained results of a very conclusive kind. It is known that the product when strongly heated in a current of ammonia gas affords ammonium chloride, which volatilises, and a residue, to which Schutzenberger and Colson have assigned the formula Si,N,H. This body they regard as a definite hydride of Si,N,, which latter they produced by acting on silicon at a white heat with pure nitrogen. Gattermann suggests that a nearer approach to the silicon analogue of cyanogen, Si,N,, should be obtained from the product of the action of ammonia on silicon-chloroform ; but it does not appear that this suggestion has yet borne fruit. It was scarcely probable that the above-mentioned rather indefinite compounds of silicon with nitrogen were the only ones of the class obtainable, since bodies includ- ing carbon combined with nitrogen are not only numerous but are among the most important carbon compounds known. Further investigation was therefore neces- sary in the interests of comparative chemistry, and for special reasons which will appear later on; but it was evident that a new point of attack must be found. A preliminary experimental survey proved the possibility of forming numerous compounds of silicon containing nitrogen, and enabled me to select those which seemed most likely to afford definite information. For much of this kind of work silicon chloride was rather too energetic, hence I had a considerable quantity of the more manageable silicon tetrabromide prepared by Serullas’ method, viz., by passing the vapour of crude bromine (containing a little chlorine) over a strongly heated mixture of silica and charcoal. In purifying this product I obtained inci- dentally the chloro-bromide of silicon, SiClBr,, which was required in order to complete the series of possible chlorobromides of silicon.1 Silicon bromide was found to produce addition compounds very readily with many feebly basic substances containing nitrogen. But one group of bromides of this class has yet been investigated in detail, namely, the products afforded by _ thioureas. The typical member of this group is the perfectly definite but uncrys- talline substance ; CSN,H,),Br Pe (CSNY Be Substituted thioureas afford similar bodies, the most interesting of which is the allyl compound. This is a singularly viscid liquid, which requires several days at ordinary temperatures to regain its level, when a tube containing it is inverted. But these are essentially addition compounds, and are therefore comparatively un- important. In most cases, however, the silicon haloids enter into very definite reaction with nitrogen compounds, especially when the latter are distinctly basic, such as aniline cr any of its homologues. One of the principal products of this class of change is the beautiful typical substance on the table, which is the first well-defined crystal- line compound obtained in which silicon is exclusively combined with nitrogen. Its composition is Si(NHC,H,),.” Analogous compounds have been formed with the toluidines, naphthylamines, &c., and have been examined in considerable detail, but it suffices to mention them and proceed to point out the nature of the changes we can effect by the action of heat on the comparatively simple anilide. When silicon anilide is heated carefully 7m vacuo it loses one molecule of aniline very easily and leaves triphenyl-guanidine, probably the a modification; if the action of heat be continued, but at ordinary pressure and in a current of dry hydrogen, another molecule of aniline can be expelled, and, just before the last trace of the latter is removed, the previously liquid substance solidifies and affords a silicon analogue of the insoluble modification of carbodiphenyldiimide, which may then be heated moderately without undergoing further material change. A comparison of the formulz will make the relations of the products clear :— Silicotetraphenylamide—Si(NHPh), Silicotriphenylguanidine—Si : NPh. (NHPh), Silicodiphenyldiimide—Si : (NPh),. a Three years later Besson formed the same compound and described it as new. 2 Harden has obtained an uncrystalline intermediate compound, SiCl,(NHC,H,).. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 713 ‘Moreover, the diimide has been heated to full redness in a gas combustion furnace while dry hydrogen was still passed over it; even under these conditions little charring occurred, but some nitrogen and a phenyl radical were eliminated, and the purified residue was found to approximate in composition to SiNPh, which would represent the body as phenylsilicocyanide or a polymer of it. Even careful heating of the diimide in ammonia gas has not enabled me to remove all the phenyl from the compound, but rather to retain nitrogen, as the best residue obtained from such treatment consisted of 8i,N,Ph, or the phenylic derivative of one of the substances produced by Schutzenberger and Colson from the ammonia reaction. It may be that both these substances are compounds of silicocyanogen with an imide group of the kind indicated below— SiN. \yH: \NPh sin” Sin” Further investigation must decide whether this is a real relationship; if it be, we should be able to remove the imidic group and obtain silicocyanogen in the free state. One other point only need be noticed, namely, that when the above silicon compounds are heated in oxygen they are slowly converted into SiO,; but the last traces of nitrogen are removed with great difficulty, unless water-vapour is present, when ammonia and silica are quickly formed. Much remains to be done in this department of comparative chemistry, but we may fairly claim to have established the fact that silicon, like carbon, can be made to form perfectly well-defined compounds in which it is exclusively united with the triad nitrogen of amidic and imidic groups. Now, having proved the capacity of silicon for the formation of compounds of this order with a triad element, Nature very distinctively lets us understand that nitrogen is not the particular element which is best adapted to play the triad rdéle towards silicon in its high-temperature changes, which are ultimately dominated by oxygen. We are not acquainted with any natural compounds which include silicon and nitrogen ; but large numbers of the most important minerals contain the pseudo-triad element aluminium combined with silicon, and few include any other triad. Phosphorus follows silicon in the periodic system of the elements as nitrogen does carbon, but silicates containing more than traces of phosphorus are rare; on the other hand, several silicates are known containing boron, the lower homologue of aluminium; for example, axinite, datholite, and tourmaline. Moreover, it is well known that silicon dissolves freely in molten aluminium, though much of the former separates on cooling. Winkler has analysed the gangue of aluminium saturated with silicon, and found that its composition is approxi- mately represented by the formula SiAI, or, perhaps, Si,Al,, if we are to regard this as analogous to O,N, or cyanogen. Here aluminium at least resembles nitrogen in directly forming a compound with silicon at moderately high temperature. It would appear, then, that while silicon can combine with both the triads nitrogen and aluminium, the marked positive characters of the latter, and its extremely low volatility, suit it best for the production of permanent silicon compounds similar to those which nitrogen can afford. With these facts in mind we may carry our thoughts back to that period in the earth’s history when our planet was at a higher temperature than the dissociation point of oxygen compounds. Under such conditions the least volatile elements were probably liquids, while silicides and carbides of various metals were formed in the fluid globe. We can imagine that the attraction of aluminium for the large excess of silicon would assert itself, and that, as the temperature fell below the point at which oxidation became possible, these silicides and carbides underwent some degree of oxidation, the carbides suffering most owing to the volatility of the oxides of carbon, while the fixity of the products of oxidation of silicides rendered ‘the latter process a more gradual one. The oxidation of silicides of metals which had little attraction for silicon would lead to the formation of simple metallic silicates and to the separation of the large quantities of free silica we meet with in the solid crust of the earth, whereas oxidation of silicides of aluminium would not SiN 714 REPORT—1893. break up the union of the two elements, but rather cause the ultimate formation of the alumino-silicates which are so abundant in most of our rocks. Viewed in the light of the facts already cited and the inferences we have drawn from them as to the nitrogen-like relationship of aluminium to silicon, I am disposed to regard the natural alumino-silicates as products of final oxidation of sometime active silico-aluminium analogues of carbo-nitrogen compounds, rather than ordinary double salts. It is generally taken for granted that they are double salts, but recent work on the chromoxalates by E. A. Werner has shown that this view is not necessarily true of all such substances. Without going into undue detail we can even form some conception of the general course of change from simple aluminium silicide to an alumino-silicate, if we allow the analogies already traced to lead us further. We recognise the existence of silico-formyl in Friedel and Ladenburg’s silico- formic anhydride; hence silico-triformamide is a compound whose probable formation we can admit, and, on the basis of our aluminium-nitrogen analogy, an aluminium representative also.

Now, oxidation of triformamide would lead to complete resolution into nitrogen gas, carbondioxide gas and water rendering it an extremely unstable body ; under similar conditions silico-triformamide would probably afford nitrogen gas and silicic acid (or silicon dioxide and water) ; while the third compound, instead of breaking up, would (owing to the fixity of aluminium as compared with nitrogen) be likely at first to afford a salt of an alumino-silicic acid, in presence of much basic material. The frequent recurrence of the ratios Si,Al, Si,Al,, &c., in the formule of natural alumino-silicates, suggests that some at least of these minerals are derived from oxidation products of the above triformic type. Without stopping to trace all the possible stages in the oxidation of the primary compound Al(Si0,R),, or variations in basicity of the products, I may cite the four following examples out of many others which might be given of resulting representative mineral groups :— SiO,R’ gw) ade Viglen Si0,R’’”"?

Clarke, of the United States Geological Survey, published a most interesting paper on the structure of the natural sili- cates. In this he adopts the view that the mineral xenolite, Si,A1,O,,, is the primary from which all other alumino-silicates may be supposed to arise by various substitutions. Nature, however, seems to teach us that such minerals as xenolite, fibrolite, and the related group of ‘clays’ are rather to be regarded as end-products of a series of hydrolytic changes of less aluminous silicates than primary substances themselves ; hence the sketch which I have ventured to give above of the probable genesis of alumino-silicates seems to provide a less arbitrary basis for Clarke’s mteresting work, without materially disturbing the general drift of his subsequent reasoning. We may now consider for a moment in what direction evidence can be sought for the existence in nature of derivatives of the hypothetical intermediate products of oxidation between a primary silicide and its fully oxidised silicate, 1 In these cases where R!'’=Al it is, of course, assumed that the latter is acting only as a basic radical. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 715 In the absence of a working hypothesis of the kind which I have already sug- gested, it is not probable that direct evidence would yet be obtainable—this must be work for the future—but when we consider that the existence of compounds of the order in question would manifest themselves in ordinary mineral analyses by the analytical products exceeding the original weight of material, we seem to find some evidence on the point in recorded cases of the kind. A deficiency of a single atom of oxygen in compounds having the high molecular weights of those in question would be indicated by very small excesses (from 2 to 3 per cent.) whose real meaning might be easily overlooked. Now, such results are not at all unusual in analyses of mineral alumino-silicates. or instance, Amphiboles containing a mere trace of iron have afforded 102-75 parts from 100, and almost all analyses of Microsommite are high, giving as much as 103 parts. Im less degree Vesuvianite and members of the Andalusite group may be noted. All these cases may be capable of some other explanations, but I cite them to show that such excesses are commonly met with in published analyses. On the other hand, it is scarcely to be doubted that a good analyst, who obtained a really significant excess, would throw such a result aside as erroneous and never publish it. I therefore plead for much greater care in analyses of the kind in question and closer scrutiny of results in the light of the suggestions I have ventured to offer. It is probable that silicates containing only partially oxidised aluminium are rare; nevertheless the search for them would introduce a new element of interest into mineralogical inquiries. If the general considerations I have now endeavoured to lay before you are allowed their full weight, some of the alumino-silicates of our primary rocks reveal to us more than we hitherto supposed. Regarded from this newer standpoint, they are teleoxidised representatives of substances which foreshadowed in terms of silicon, aluminium, and oxygen the compounds of carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen required at a later stage of the earth’s history for living organisms. Thus, while the sedimentary strata contain remains which come down to us from the very dawn of life on this globe, the rocks from whose partial disintegration the preserving strata resulted contain mineral records which carry us still further back, even to Nature’s _ earliest efforts in building up compounds similar to those suited for the purposes of organic development. The following Papers and Reports were read :— 1. On Tools and Ornaments of Copper and Other Metals from Egypt and Palestine. By Dr. J. H. Guapstonn, F.R.S. The author gave an account of analyses of various specimens of metallic tools and ornaments found by Dr. Flinders Petrie in Egypt and Mr. Bliss in Palestine. The oldest copper tools were from Meydum, and date back probably to the fourth Egyptian dynasty, about 3500 8.c. Other copper tools were obtained at Kahun, and date 2500 B.c. These contain small quantities of arsenic, antimony, &c.; but among the specimens from Meydum was a rod of bronze containing about 9 per cent. of tin. Bronze needles were also found at Kahun, and of course bronze was abundant in later periods. That tin was known in the metallic condition was evidenced by a finger-ring made of tin belonging to the eighteenth dynasty, about 1400 n.c. Lead was often mixed with the bronze for the casting of statuettes. The mound of Tel-el-Hesy, which is believed to be the Lachish of the Scriptures, consists of the ruins of several successive Amorite towns, above which are the ruins of the Israelitish town. A copper tool from the lowest stratum, and which could not be of later date than 1500 3.c., was made of a very red, hard, brittle metal, of a specific gravity of only 6:6, and consisted of cuprous oxide to the extent of about 25 per cent. This oxide, no doubt, gave the desired hardness to the copper. In the strata dating from 1400 B.c. to 800 B.c. occurred many arrow-heads and other objects made of bronze. In the upper Israelitish portion the bronze implements were gradually replaced by iron. At Lachish there were also found a wire of almost pure lead, and what seemed to be a bracelet of silver. The iatter was 716 REPORT—1893. coated with chloride of silver, doubtless from the chlorides in the soil, and contained 6°5 per cent. of copper and 1°44 per cent. of gold. At Illahun, in Egypt, some beads or buttons were found which proved to be of metallic antimony badly reduced from the sulphide. They date back to about 800 B.c. 2. Report on International Standards for the Analysis of Iron and Steel. See Reports, p. 437. 3. On Native Iron Manufacture in Bengal. By H. Harris and T, Turner. 4. On Nitride of Iron. By G. J. Fowuur, M.Sc. This research was undertaken with the object of repeating and extending the work of Stahlschmidt (‘Pogg. Ann.,’ v. cxxv., 1865, p. 37) on the same subject, his results differing in many points from those of his predecessors. The best way of preparing nitride of iron was found to be the following :—Iron is reduced from the hydrate by hydrogen, in a tube of such dimensions that it can be weighed, together with its contents, and thus the end of the reaction deter- mined without exposing the iron to the air. When complete reduction has been effected, the iron is heated in a fairly rapid current of ammonia gas, until no further increase in weight is observed. The temperature should be kept a little above the melting-point of lead. The product obtained when the reaction was complete was analysed. The nitrogen was determined by dissolving the substance in hydrochloric acid, evapo- ee ae platinum chloride, and weighing the ammonium-platinum-chloride obtained, The hydrogen given off on solution of the substance in sulphuric acid was measured, The iron was determined by ignition and weighing as oxide, and by solution in sulphuric acid and titration with permanganate. As will be seen from the results obtained, the nitride prepared as above has a composition corresponding to the formula Fe,N. On solution in hydrochloric acid the following reaction takes place :— Fe,N + 5HC1 = 2FeCl, + NH,Cl+H. Found Calculated for Fe,N.

In a third case, in which the iron, after solution of the nitride in acid, was precipitated by ammonia and weighed as oxide, 89-44 per cent. of iron was obtained and 10°5 per cent. of nitrogen, showing again that the substance dissolves in acid according to the above equation, all the nitro- gen being converted into ammonia. No percentages of nitrogen above 11-1 could be obtained, while any percentage below that could be got according to the time during which the iron had been exposed to the current of ammonia. These results are fully in agreement with those obtained by Stahlschmidt, and confirm his conclusion that only one nitride of iron exists, and that it has the above composition. Nitride of iron is formed when iron amalgam is heated in ammonia, and also when ferrous chloride or bromide is heated in this gas. These methods, however, do not so readily give a product containing the full percentage of nitrogen, and free from the presence of a third element. Nitride of iron is a grey powder, rather less blue in tone than iron reduced from TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 717 the hydrate. On rubbing it is more gritty than iron prepared as above. It is feebly magnetic. Heated in hydrogen, ammonia is produced at about the same temperature as that at which the nitride is formed. It readily burns in chlorine, ferric chloride and nitrogen being formed. Heated in carbon monoxide, no evidence of the formation of cyanogen com- pounds could be obtained. Steam at 100° slowly oxidises the nitride with evolution of ammonia. Hydrogen sulphide begins to react with it at 200°, forming ammonium sulphide and sulphide of iron. Heated in nitrogen to the boiling-point of sulphur, no change occurs. The temperature at which nitrogen is evolved by the action of heat alone must there- fore be above this point. An ethereal solution of iodine is without action upon the nitride. From a slightly acidified solution of copper sulphate, nitride of iron deposits copper. Octal with ethyl iodide to 200° in a sealed tube, olefines are formed, and iodides of iron and ammonium, the reaction evidently being 5C,H,1 + Fe,N = 2Fel, + NH,I + 5C,H, +H. Heated similarly to 200° with phenol no reaction occurred. Treated with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sulphuric acid, analyses showed that very little, if any, of the nitrogen is oxidised, the whole dissolving as usual to form ammonium sulphate. In conjunction with Mr. P. J. Hartog, the author has determined the heat of formation of the nitride by dissolving it in sulphuric acid contained in a platinum calorimeter, and observing the rise of temperature. Three well-agreeing experi- ments showed that the substance is formed with evolution of about three calories. In general the nitride of iron behaves as an ammonia derivative, the nitrogen being either evolved in the free state, or converted into ammonium compounds, according to circumstances. Its constitution may possibly be 5. Report on the Silent Discharge of Electricity in Oxygen and other Gases. See Reports, p. 439. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 165.

On the Iodine Value of Sunlight in the High Alps. By Dr. S. Rrpeat. During the past winter, at St. Moritz, in the Engadine, I had an opportunity of determining the intensity of the light as measured by the liberation of iodine from an acidulated solution of potassium iodide on the lines formulated by the Air Analysis Committee of Manchester. St. Moritz is at an altitude of about 7,000 feet above the sea level, and a succession of bright, sunny days can usually be relied upon, even in the depths of winter. The experiments in England, which have been carried out chiefly in towns, have not given a maximum value for the quantity of iodine that can be liberated by sunlight in one hour; and as the atmosphere in St. Moritz is not only free from haze, but is also remarkable for its exceptionable dryness, higher values than those likely to be obtained elsewhere were to be ex- pected, Also, since the daily meteorological conditions of the place are carefully taken and recorded in the ‘ Alpine Post,’ the observations may possibly be of addi- tional value.

The hyposulphite solution was checked against the standard iodine solution from time to time, and was kept in the dark when not in use. The only previous values obtained in Switzerland in the winter are those of Professor Oliver, who tells me that his winter average at Grindelwald for one hour’s sunlight was repre- sented by 1°6 c.c. of the thiosulphate solution, equal to 8 mgms. of iodine per TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 719 100 c.c. This number represents only the average of the brightest days, and larger results have been obtained in summer. My average for the nineteen brightest days in January of the present year is equal to 9°34 mgms. of iodine per 100 c.c. per hour. Owing to the situation of the village with regard to the surrounding mountains, the total amount of light per day is small compared with places which are less shut in; and, as will be seen from the accompanying table, the values given are for the hours during which there was a bright sunlight. The actual amount of possible sunlight on the days mentioned will be found in the meteoro- logical records already referred to, It is interesting to note that in Manchester in January 1892, with a day of 8:3 hours’ light, or nearly half as long again as at St. Moritz, the total light per week-day averaged only 4-5 mgms. iodine, or about that obtained during half an hour’s exposure at St. Moritz. Even on comparing the Sunday values for the Manchester district, I find that the daily average is only 8-3 mgms., or less than the hour’s average at St. Moritz. I believe that the com- paratively large amount of sunlight per day experienced in the High Alps contri- butes largely in determining the hygienic value of a sojourn in these mountain health resorts. The maximum hour value was 13°5 mgms. per 100 ¢.c. on January 1, and the lowest on January 24 of 5:7, and even this minimum was about 20 per cent. above the average daily value in Manchester. 6. On a Modified Form of Bunsen and Roscoe's Pendulum Actinometer.} By Dr. Artuur Ricwarpson and J. Quick. In Bunsen and Roscoe’s pendulum actinometer the oscillations of a pendulum cause a sliding shutter to pass backward and forward before sensitised paper, which is thus exposed for a known time and again shaded from the light. In the present form an arrangement has been devised whereby the backward and forward motion of the shutter is brought about by a movement in one direc- tion only. This. is done in the following manner: the shutter, which is made of a flexible material and in the form of an endless band, passes over the wooden rollers, the adjacent surfaces being brought close together by means of two addi- tional smaller rollers. Two slits of equal length are cut in the band, so that when the latter rotates an aperture is uncovered when the slits overlap one another, and which again close when the band has travelled round a certain distance. Beneath this aperture the sensitised paper is placed, which is thus exposed for definite times depending upon the length of the slits and the velocity of the band. In order to bring about the movement of the shutter one of the rollers is con- nected with an eight-day clock, the escapement of which has been removed, the alterations in the speed, usually occurring when a clock is running down under such circumstances, being compensated by a fusee adjustment. Two advantages are claimed for this modification :— (1) It is portable, and measurements can be made when it is placed in any osition. : (2) The time during which any portion of the slit is open (over the sensitised paper) is directly proportional to that occupied in opening the entire slit ; since the rate at which the shutter moves is constant, whereas in the pendulum apparatus a series of calculations must be made to determine the length of time during which the slit is open for each mm, of its entire length, 7. On the Expansion of Chlorine Gas and Bromine Vapour under the Influence of Iight. By Dr. Arraur Ricwarpson. _ It was first observed by Budde that when chlorine is exposed to the influ- ence of sunlight, an expansion of the gas occurs which is independent of the ' Published in the Phil. Mag., xxxvi. (1893), pp. 459-463. 720 REPORT—1893. direct heating effects of the light. He also made a similar observation in the case of bromine vapour. These statements have been repeatedly called in ques- tion by other observers, who failed to obtain these results on repeating Budde’s experiments. Experiments made by the author, however, fully confirm Budde’s results, and an arrangement is described in which the expansion of chlorine and bromine, as compared with that of air, under the influence of light, can be exhibited as a lecture experiment. 8. On the Cause of the Red Colouration of Phenol. By Cuartes A. Koun, Ph.D., B.Sc., Lecturer on Organic Chemistry, University College, Liverpool. The cause of the turning red of phenol has from time to time been the subject of investigation, but the published results are vague and conflicting. That even the purest carbolic acid of commerce becomes coloured on keeping has long been observed, and the general view of the cause of this colouration has been to trace it to some impurity or other contained in the phenol. By some the presence ofa metal, especially copper or iron or their salts, has been regarded as the cause of the reddening, by others the colcuration has been attributed to alkalis or to cresol, which last in presence of the phenol has been oxidised with the formation of rosolic acid. Fabini, who more recently has investigated the subject, regards the colouration as due to the action of hydrogen peroxide on phenol containing metallic salts in presence of ammonia, the presence of all three reagents being necessary for the production of the colour. Since oxidising agents, alkalis—especially ammonia—and metallic salts play an important part in the turning red of phenol, the action of these and similar re- agents on phenol of varying degrees of purity was tried. The phenol used was the purest commercial product known as ‘ absolute phenol,’ and in the later experiments a sample of specially pure phenol, kindly prepared by C. Lowe, Esq., of Manchester. The original product was repeatedly distilled from glass vessels and the distillates after one, six, nine, and sixteen distillations care- fully tested with ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, caustic potash, mixtures of these reagents, and also with salts of iron and of copper both in the presence and absence of alkalis and of hydrogen peroxide. In all cases characteristic colourations ensue. That with strong ammonia is violet, and those with hydrogen peroxide, caustic potash, dilute ammonia, hydrogen peroxide in presence of caustic alkali, or of ammonia, metals or metallic salts with or without hydrogen peroxide, red or reddish brown. Each of the three reagents which, according to Fabini, must all be present in order to produce a colouration gives marked colourations on its own account. The blue colouration obtained with ammonia is identical with Phirson’s ¢ phenol-blue,’ and is probably phenol-quinone-imide. Sublimed phenol, as well as phenol prepared by the saponification and subsequent decomposition of gaultheria oil, behaves similarly. Furthermore, ad/ the samples thus prepared, and which were found on testing to be perfectly free from metallic impurities, turned red on exposure to ordinary moist air. Hence it is to be concluded that the purest phenol does redden of its own account, and not on account of the presence of impurities of any kind. This reddening does not take place in the dark, nor is it effected by the less refrangible rays of light. Phenol exposed in vacuo keeps colourless for months, as it also does when exposed in presence of water in absence of air, or in presence of air when perfectly dry. Both air and moisture are necessary for the colouration to ensue. It has been shown by Dr. Richardson_that hydrogen peroxide is produced during the reddening, and to its formation the reddening of phenol when exposed to ordinary moist air is to be traced. The similarity of the colour produced by hydrogen peroxide with that which phenol assumes on exposure supports this statement. The colour is also produced by the electrolysis of phenol in acid solu- tion. The colouring matter is not volatile, and the colouration is always accom- panied by the absorption of moisture. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 721 The nature of the colouring matter produced is still under investigation ; the essential point so far established is that pure phenol possesses the intrinsic pro- perty of reddening when exposed to light in presence of air and moisture. 9. On the Rate of Evaporation of Bodies in Atmospheres of Different Densities. By Dr. R. D. PHooxay, The results of his experiments showed ‘ that under the same conditions of heat and pressure a substance volatilises more quickly in an atmosphere of gas of lesser density than in one of greater. For instance, 0:05 grm. of naphthalin, heated in a bath of naphthalin vapour, volatilised in an atmosphere of hydrogen gas in 18 seconds, in air in 30, in carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, both of which possess the same molecular weight, in 36 seconds. Although these figures do not furnish sufficient data to determine the relative densities of the gases, yet they amply justify the above conclusion. An atmosphere of vapour, on the contrary, seems to have no influence on the time taken for a substance to volatilise in it: 0-026 erm. of normal propyl alcohol, heated in a steam bath, took one and the same time, 12 to 13 seconds, to yolatilise in vapours of such different densities as that of ether, methyl, and ethyl alcohol, chloroform, tetrachlor-methan, and ethyl iodide. It is difficult to account for this anomaly. A certain difference in conditions in the employment of the two classes of bodies—z.e., the true gases and the vapours—must, however, be borne in mind, namely, that the gases were experi- mented with at a temperature much more removed from their point of condensa- tion than that of the vapours. It will be therefore interesting to know whether experiments made with vapours at a temperature equally removed from their point of condensation would not give results similar to those obtained from gases, Tt may be that a vapour must attain a certain degree of energy or velocity ef its molecules before it can act like true gases in influencing the volatilisation of a substance. 10. On the Occurrence of Cyano-nitride of Titanium in Ferro-manganese. By T. W. Hoge. In this paper is given a short account of the fact there are probably about half a million isolated crystals of cyano-nitride of titanium in each cubic inch of the high percentage ferro-manganese now used for steel-making purposes, titanium carbide and nitride being also occasionally present. The size of these crystals generally lies between 0:0001 and 0-001 of an inch, comparatively few of them being larger than this. The number of crystals has been counted, and the lowest estimate gave 336,000 to the cubic inch of alloy; asa matter of interest, the weight of this number of Cubes of cyano-nitride of titanium of 0:0001 of an inch has been calculated and found to be only 0:00003 of agramme. Similarly, the weight of the same number of cubes of 0:001 of an inch weighs -03 gramme. The crystals are possessed of a high metallic lustre with brilliant mirror-like facets, and occur in the form of cubes, octahedra, and forms resembling the icositetrahedron ; there are also present beautiful combinations of pyramids and prisms, and many of the cubes possess interesting symmetrical face modifications, As these different forms are all found together they are microscopic objects of great beauty and interest to the student of crystallography. These crystals are obtained by careful elutriation of the car- bonaceous residue left after treating considerable quantities of the ferro-manganese with hydrochloric acid, cupric chloride, or dilute nitric acid: this latter is recom- mended as being the most convenient. In using it the mixture must be kept as cool as possible, and allowed to stand for about twenty-four hours; the larger crystals separate at once, the smaller forms being retained in the residue, which must be dried and gently pounded before submitting it to elutriation, This is best 1893. oA 722 REPORT—1893. performed in a large porcelain basin, using plenty of water, gently rocking and rotating the mixture, and allowing it to rest at intervals; the lighter portions are then sucked up by means of a pipette, this being continued until nothing but the copper-coloured crystals are left. The largest quantity which has been separated in this way is equal to 032 er cent. . Ferro-manganese containing different percentages of manganese and of different makes has been examined, and, with the exception of spiegeleisen containing 11 per per cent. of manganese, they have all been found to contain this remarkable com- ound. . As the quantities available for examination were small, with the exception of determining the specific gravity and the amount of the titanium only qualitative tests have been applied. In different specimens the specific gravity has beer found to vary between 41 and 5:1, and the titanium from 60°5 to79'8 per cent. These latter determinations include a small proportion of iron, which I have always found to be present; this is also the case with crystals separated from an old blast-furnace “bear. After several days’ heating with hydrochloric acid there is 1°5 per cent, iron retained, and probably this is the cause of the crystals being slightly but distinctly magnetic. Attention is specially directed to the fact that much valuable information with regard to the condition of the foreign elements may be obtained by decomposing large quantities of the alloys with suitable reagents, and separating the substances of different specific gravity from the residue. In doing this it is pomted out that there is great danger of decomposing the compounds originally present, and form- ing new ones asa result of the reaction which takes place between the reagent and the various substances present. Such a method as is indicated in this paper is recommended to be used in conjunction with the examination of etched speci- mens, which of themselves do little beyond revealing changes of structure induced by different modes of manipulation and varying temperatures. The insufficiency of etched specimens to give us information with regard to the condition of im- purities is evident from the fact that, being opaque, so nearly alike in colour, and in such minute and uniformly distributed particles, they escape observation.

Fermentation of tan liquors, The author only gave a short »éswmé of our present knowledge of the ‘ drench- ing’ process, as this closely resembles ordinary fermentations. Skins from the bate after washing are placed in vats containing an infusion of bran in water (0°4 to 1 per cent. of bran) at a temperature of 30° to 35°C. This ferments vigorously for eighteen to twenty-four hours with evolution of consider- able quantities of gas and the formation of weak organic acids, which have a slight swelling action on the skin, cleanse the pores, and make it in a fit condition to receive the tannin. On examination with a high power of the microscope the liquid is found to be swarming with active bacteria. They are mostly in the form of pairs or dumb-hells, each cell 0°75 x 1:25; some form chains. I described! a method by which the organism causing the fermentation was separated, as it re- fused to ‘grow in ordinary nutrient gelatine, and lately, in conjunction with Mr. W. H.

We found that an unorganised ferment, ‘cerealin,’ changes the starch of the bran into glucoses and dextrin; the bacteria then ferment the glucoses, splitting them up into the gases and acids already mentioned. B. furfuris has no action on the cellulose of the bran, nor on the skins, as some bacteria in the bate have; in every case where the skin is attacked it is putrefac- tive or gelatine liquefying bacteria introduced from the bate, or in specially favourable circumstances (hot, sultry weather) developing from germs always pre- sent in the atmosphere. The gases evolved have only a mechanical action on the skin, floating and distending them, and so enabling them better to take up the acids. In carrying out this work we discovered a delicate test for lactic acid. The presence of lactic acid was shown in the following manner :—10 c.c. of the liquid were placed in a small distilling flask along with 2 c.c. strong H,SO, and about 0°5 grm. potassium chromate in a little water. This was distilled and the vapours received in a test tube surrounded by cold water; on adding magenta solution discolourised by SO, to the liquid in the test tube a red colour was pro- duced by the aldehyde formed from the lactic acid ; aldehyde was also recognised by its smell. We tind this an exceedingly delicate test for lactic acid, and as far as we know it is quite new in this form. For 10 c.c. of liquid to be examined we find 2¢.c. strong H,SO, and 1 grm. of potassium chromate to be the best proportions. Formic, acetic, propionic, butyric, valerianic, succinic, malic, tartaric, and citric acids do not give the reaction. In conclusion, there are no doubt other organisms capable of fermenting a bran infusion in a somewhat similar way, and the work of isolating and separately examining their life-history and products yet remains to be done. 9. On some Ferments derived from Diseased Pears. By Guorce Tate, Ph.D., FCS. From diseased pears the author has isolated, among other micro-organisms, three which possess morphological and chemical interest. (1) A yeast (Saccharomyces viscosus) which is characterised by forming small cells of an average length of 0:003 mm. and white, strongly viscid growths upon solid nutrient media. It brings about no alcoholic fermentation of the better- known sugars, but inverts cane sugar. It can propagate either by budding or by endogenous division. (2) A bacterial organism (Ascococcus luteus) forming yellow growths upon nutrient gelatine. Growths of two types have been obtained, one showing ascococct, the other only rods, It is an acid ferment of dextrose and mannitol. (3) A bacterial organism forming white growths upon nutrient gelatine. Two types of growth have been obtained upon nutrient media, one in which micrococct and rods predominate, another in which the tendency to form ascococc? is strongly marked. These two types are represented by widely differing macroscopic cultures upon solid media. Both forms behave as levo-lactic ferments towards dextrose and mannitol. The organism is an inactive-lactic ferment of rhamnose, but after such action still retains its power of decomposing dextrose into levo-lactic acid. Se ei) TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 725 10. On the Action of Permanganate of Potassium on Sodium Thiosulphate and Sulphate. By G. HE. Brown and Dr. W. W. J. Nicot. 11. On the Application of Sodium Perowide to Water Analysis. By Dr. S. Rrpgat and A. J. Boutr. Now that sodium peroxide can be obtained commercially, its use in analysis seems desirable. W. Hempel! has already shown that it is a useful oxidising agent for the detection of chromium and manganese, and that it forms a very con- venient reagent for opening up tungsten minerals and for effecting the decomposi- tion of titanic iron ores. Since the commercial sodium peroxide is free from sulphur, it can also be used quantitatively for estimating the sulphur in sulphides. It occurred to us that an alkaline oxidising agent of this character, if used as a substitute for alkaline permanganate in water analysis, might throw some light upon the character of the organic nitrogen in waters. Hitherto either methods for determining the total nitrogen—e.g., Frankland’s and Kjeldahl’s, or Wanklyn’s well-known process in which only a portion of the nitrogen present in the organic matter is discovered—have been employed. In this latter process very different quantities of ammonia are obtained from the different classes of nitrogenous organic bodies. Only when the nitrogen is present as some simple amido- compound like urea, aspartic acid, or leucine does this process yield the whole of the nitrogen present. Preusse and Tiemann” have shown in their review of the various pro- cesses for determining organic substances in water that no reliance can be placed upon this process for estimating the absolute quantity of nitrogen in many sub- stances, and that, therefore, when used as a method of water analysis the quantities of ammonia obtained are only relatively true for waters of the same type. A comparison of the quantities of ammonia evolved from a water when treated with alkaline permanganate and with sodium peroxide might therefore possibly afford a means of differentiating the nitrogenous constituents. With this purpose in view we have compared in the ordinary course of analysis the amounts of ammonia given off under these two treatments. In one case when using one grm. of sodium peroxide per half litre of water, the total ammonia evolved was equal to 0:027 part per 100,000, while with alkaline permanganate 0-050 part per 100,000 was obtained. On repeating this experiment with the same water and under similar conditions, 0:026 part per 100,000 was yielded by the peroxide and 0-048 by the permanganate. The addition of a further quantity of the sodium peroxide and further distilling did not increase the quantity of ammonia produced, and it was therefore evident that the sodium peroxide had failed to break down the organic nitrogenous substances present to the same extent as had the alkaline permanganate. In fact, we have since found it possible to obtain a fresh quantity of ammonia from a water after treatment with sodium peroxide by the addition of the alkaline permanganate. The following table gives the results obtained in parts per 100,000 with four samples of water :— Perman- a Free NH; | Peroxide | ganateafter, Free NH; ee peroxide | id Water A . 3 5 0:01 Trace 0007 | #OO1 0-008 Bere ‘: 5 0-001 0:004 0011 | 0-001 0:013 » Cre : A 0012 0-011 0015 | 0-012 0-027 5 De, : a 0-021 0:024 0:057 0-019 0:078 From these figures it will be seen that the sodium peroxide in no case oxidises the organic matter present to the same extent as does the permanganate. The peroxide seems to liberate a portion of the nitrogen which is included in that set free by the alkaline permanganate, as the total ammonia obtained by the action of 1 Zeit. anorg. Chem., 3, 193. * Berichte, 12, 1906. 726 REPORT—1893. the peroxide, followed by permanganate, is in most cases about equal to that obtained when the water is distilled with alkaline permanganate alone. There appears to be no ratio between the quantities of ammonia evolved by the two re- agents, and therefore the nitrogenous organic matter present in waters might be divided into two classes, viz., that which is oxidised by the sodium peroxide and that which resists such treatment. The results obtained by Wanklyn’s process, as compared with the total nitrogen present in a water, also show a differentiation in the organic nitrogen substances present in waters, but this knowledge has hitherto not been of any value owing to the complex nature of the problem. Further experiments can alone decide whether the limited oxidation of the nitrogenous matter in waters will throw any fresh light on the condition of these organic con- stituents of water. We have, however, noticed that in some cases a water which has been partially oxidised by the peroxide yields the remainder of its ammonia to the alkaline permanganate with much greater rapidity than when the water has not been so treated. We suggest that the explanation of this phenomenon may be due to the presence in waters of organic nitrogenous substances which, when partially oxidised, are then in a condition to be completely broken up by the stronger reagent. This result has been obtained with waters containing fresh sewage, but we hope by taking solutions containing nitrogenous compounds of known constitution to confirm this suggestion, and to show that in this reagent we have an oxidising agent which will be useful in establishing the constitution of the nitrogen in complex organic substances. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. The following Reports and Papers were read :— 1. Report on Isomeric Naphthaline Derivatives—See Reports, p. 381. 2. On the Application of Electrolysis to Qualitative Analysis. By CHARLES A. Kony, Ph.D., B.Sc., Lecturer on Organic Chemistry, University College, Liverpool. Since the publication of C. Bloxam’s papers on ‘The Application of Electro- lysis to the Detection of Poisonous Metals in Mixtures of Organic Matters’! little has been done to apply this method of analysis to qualitative investigations, despite the fact that Classen and his pupils, together with E. F, Smith and others, have made rapid advances in electrolytic methods of quantitative analysis. Many of these later methods offer special attraction for qualitative work, especially in cases of medical and of medico-legal inquiry. They are not supposed to supersede in any way the ordinary methods of qualitative analysis, but to serve as a final and crucial means of identification for the more important mineral poisons. The applicability of the methods for the detection of antimony, mercury, lead, copper, and cadmium has been examined. The method originally devised by Bloxam for the detection of arsenic has been more recently elaborated by Wolff, who has succeeded in detecting 0:00001 grm. of arsenious acid electrolytically. Antimony.—The method employed is that used in the quantitative estimation by electrolysis, a method devised by Classen, and which ensures a complete separa- tion from antimony and tin, The precipitated sulphide is dissolved in potassium sulphide, any polysulphides present oxidised with hydrogen peroxide, and the solution electrolysed with a current of 1:5-2°0 c.c. of electrolytic gas per minute (10'436 c.c. at 0° and 760 mm.=1 ampére), a small circular piece of platinum 1 cm. in diameter being employed as the cathode. The deposited metal can be confirmed for by evaporating a little ammonium sulphide on the foil. One part of J. Chem. Soc., 18, pp. 12 and 338. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 727 antimony in 1,500,000 parts of solution may be thus detected. The precipitation of small quantities is complete in one hour. Mercury is separated from a nitric acid solution as metal, on a small closely- wound platinum spiral. A current of 4-5 c¢.c. per minute can be used. As a confirmatory test the spiral is washed, dropped into a test-tube, heated to sublime the mercury, and then converted into the iodide by the addition of a small crystal of iodine and warming gently: 0:0001 grm. of metal can be detected thus in 150 c.c. of solution. Lead is precipitated either as peroxide at the anode from a nitric-acid solution or as metal from an ammonium-oxalate solution; the latter method is more deli- cate, but the former has the advantage that it can be made approximately quanti- tative. In this case also 0:0001 grm. is readily detected, the confirmation being effected by converting the metal or oxide into the sulphide or iodide. Copper is electrolysed as usual from an acidified solution, and 0-00005 grm. can be readily detected, the confirmation being effected by dissolving the precipi- tated metal in acid and testing with potassium ferrocyanide. Quantitative results with 1 mgrm., of metal are obtained thus. Cadmium is best deposited from a potassium cyanide solution, with a current of 0:2 e.c. per minute. The yellow sulphide serves as the confirmatory test: 00001 grm. of metal can be thus detected. The detection of the above metallic poisons in urine can be effected directly by these methods as described, but owing to the presence of the organic matter it is mecessary to pass the current twice as long as when aqueous solutions are employed. In twenty-four hours a current of 1-2 c.c. per minute completely decomposes urine, leaving a clear solution. In the case of lead the electrolysis of an ammonium- oxalate solution gives a more delicate reaction than the separation as peroxide from nitric acid solution. To detect these poisons in other cases the destruction of the organic material with which they are associated, by the ordinary means, is necessary. These electrolytic tests are one and a half time more delicate than the colori- metric tests for antimony and copper by means of sulphuretted hydrogen, and ten times more delicate than the tests for mercury and lead by the same reagent. It is further to be noted that the methods are in many cases methods of separa- tion as well as of detection, e.g., the separation of lead from iron by electrolysis in nitric acid solution. Also where it is desirable to obtain approximately quantita- tive results, electrolysis possesses a marked advantage over the usual colorimetric processes, because the erroneous results due to the influence of the varying con- stituents in the solutions tested on the reliability of the reaction are entirely obviated. 3. Interim Report on the Prowimate Constituents of Coal, The Committee desired reappointment, as their investigations are not yet completed. 4. Apparatus for Extraction for Analysis of Gases Dissolved in Water. By Evear B. Truman, M.D., F.C.S., Borough Analyst, Nottingham. A glass flask of 500 c.c. capacity is joined by means of its tubular termina- tion to a second lower flask of 200 c.c. capacity by means of a water-joint. In the lower flask is suspended from the upper one a thermometer, reading up to 150°C. From the neck of the upper flask proceed two millimetre tubes. The right-hand one, after receiving a stopcock, expands into a cup having a capacity of 30 c.c. The tube on the left rises to the level of the bottom of the cup. This tube has two tubes supplied with stopcocks joined on to it at right angles—one above and the other below. To the one above is attached, by a water or glycerine joint, a mercury tube doubled on itself above and below, and having a length when so doubled of 880 mm. This tube is graduated in mm. from 0 to 400 in two directions, downwards in the open limb and upwards 728 REPORT—1893. in the long limb, starting in each case from the level of the horizontal tube. This tube is filled with mercury up to the zero points, and indicates the rate of exhaus- tion of the apparatus, and is also a test of leakage. The second tube a little further on points downwards for attachment to a Geissler’s water-pump. Still further on a stopcock is let into the main horizontal tube, which then bends downwards for communication with a Sprengel pump. The apparatus is put into connection with both mercurial and water-pumps, and the stopcock at the base of the cup is closed. By means of the water-pump the apparatus is exhausted in a great measure of air; five minutes’ pumping with high- pressure water produces a vacuum of 730 mm., when the barometer stands at 753. The water-pump stopcock is then closed, and exhaustion is completed by the Sprengel in about thirty minutes more. The liquid to be examined for gases is then, after measurement, introduced by the cup into the upper flask, whence it flows into the lower one. The liquid is allowed to stand for an hour, so that gases disengaged at ordinary temperatures may come off. These are collected by the Sprengel and analysed in the usual way. The vacuum having been restored, heat is cautiously applied to the lower flask by means of a Bunsen burner. If carefully done there is no bumping. The effect of heat is, by disengaging gas, to increase tension, and to enable the water to become hotter. The mercury in the mercurial tube and that in the thermometer rise. When the mercury in both places remains constant the Bunsen burner is removed. The gas given off by boiling is then collected and analysed. 5. A Discussion on Explosions in Ooal Mines, with special reference to the Dust Theory, was opened by Professor H. B. Dixon, F.R.S. 6. The Application of the Hydrogen Flame in an Ordinary Miner’s Safety Lamp to Accurate and Delicate Gas Testing. By Professor Frank Ciowes, D.Sc. Lond. The ‘flame cap’ or halo seen in the dark above a pale flame in air containing combustible gas serves as the most rapid and practical means of detecting the presence of inflammable gas or vapour in the air. The method has been in common use by the miner, but the oil flame which he uses for the purpose is wanting, not only in delicacy, but also inaccuracy. It will not readily detect the presence of less than 3 per cent. of fire-damp in the air, whereas for modern purposes it should detect less than 0°5 per cent.; and, owing to the variation in the size and adjustment of this flame when applied to testing, its indications are very variable, and are not of a standard character. Many objections exist to the employment of a separate alcohol lamp carried for testing purposes. None of these applies to the use of the hydrogen flame, especially when it is applied in an ordinary safety lamp burning oil from a wick in the usual way. The hydrogen flame is the most delicate indi- cator known, and it is applied of uniform size, giving standard and invariable indications. The author’s early work consisted in measurmg with accuracy the height and noting the appearance of the flame cap appearing over the standard 10 mm, (= 0:4 inch) hydrogen flame. The flame was exposed for this purpose to air containing known percentages of gas in the ‘test chamber’ specially devised for the purpose. The statement, previously made, that the hydrogen flame is the most delicate gas- testing flame known was fully confirmed by comparing its indications with those yielded by a small alcohol flame and by a reduced oil flame. The small alcohol flame could not detect less than 1 per cent. of fire-damp, even under the most favourable conditions; the reduced oil flame could not detect with certainty less than 3 per cent. The author then directed his attention to applying the hydrogen flame ina TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 729 practical way to the detection and measurement of minute quantities of fire-damp in the air. This was ultimately effected by supplying the hydrogen from a small steel cylinder containing the gas in a compressed condition. The cylinder can be readily carried in the pocket, and, when necessary, it can be immediately attached to the ordinary safety lamp, and made to furnish the standard hydrogen flame burning at a jet in the lamp. The gas is kindled at the jet by the oil flame, which is then extinguished. The accurate estimation of proportions of fire-damp in air varying from 0:2 to 3 per cent. is rapidly and easily effected by the standard hydrogen flame. Higher percentages are estimated either by reducing the size of the hydrogen flame, or by employing the oil flame diminished in size until it becomes non-luminous. The small pocket cylinder is under a pound in weight, and when freshly charged, by being connected with a store cylinder at 120 atmospheres’ pressure, it carries a store of gas sufficing for over 200 tests. This combined lighting and testing safety lamp has been found to be thoroughly practical in its nature after lengthened use in several collieries, and it surpasses in convenience all the delicate and accurate mine gas-testing apparatus yet described. The lamp, in a modified form, has been adapted to detecting and measuring petroleum vapour in the air. 7. On the Gases enclosed in Coal Dust. By Professor P. P. Benson. 8.

By Bevan Luan, B.A., B.Sc., Bishop Berkeley Fellow of Owens Oollege. When sod-malonic ether is treated with ethylene bromide, the chief product is ethyl trimethylene dicarboxylate (1:1), thus :— CH,Br CH, bir, + 2CHNa: (COO C,H,), “du, DE = (COO C,H,), + CH,(COO C,H), +2NaBr. But at the same time a small quantity of an oil of high boiling-point is formed, constituting only about 3 per cent. of the whole, which is ethyl butanetetracarboxy- late,! thus :— CH,Br CH, - CH: (COO C,H,), | +2CH Na:(COO C,H,), = | + 2NaBr. H,Br CH, -CH:(COO C,H,), The fact that this interesting substance is produced in such small quantities made its further investigation a matter almost of impossibility. More recently, however, Professor Perkin has found that the substitution of ethylene chloride for the bromide is effectual in greatly increasing the yield of ethyl butanetetracarboxyl- ate. As soon as the new method for the preparation of this substance had been thoroughly worked out, I investigated, at the suggestion of Professor Perkin, some of its derivatives, and I desire to give a brief notice of some of the results at which we have arrived. When treated with sodium ethylate, ethyl butanetetracarboxyl- ate forms a di-sodium compound, which reacts readily with the iodides or chlorides of the alcohol radicals, For example, when acted on by methy] iodide the reaction takes place as follows :— CH, —CNa: (COO C,H,), CH, —C:CH,:(COO C,H;), +2CH,Br= | + 2NaBr, CH, —CNa: (COO C,H,), CH, —C'CH,:(COO C,H;), ethyl dimethylbutanetetracarboxylate being formed. 1 Perkin, Journ. C. S., 51, 1. 730 REPORT—i893, In the course of this investigation I have already made a detailed study of the di-methyl, di-ethyl, di-cetyl, and di-benzy] derivatives of ethyl butanetetracarboxyl- ate, formed by the action of alcohol radicals on its di-sodium compound. These derivatives on hydrolysis yield tetracarboxylic acids, which possess some very remarkable properties, which have not been, so far as I know, observed in the case of any other organic acids. These acids, although they contain four carboxyl groups, do not in all cases behave as tetrabasic acids. On determining their basi- city by titration with standard solution of potassium hydrate, some of them react as di-basic acids. Notably is this the case with di-benzyl butanetetracarboxylic acid, the result being the same whether phenol phthalein or litmus be used as the indicator. In this connection it is to be noted that on forming the silver or calcium salts of di-benzyl butanetetracarboxylic acid, they were found to have the formule C,,H,,0,Ag, and C,,H,,0,Ca+2H,0 respectively. On the other hand, di-methyl and di-ethyl butanetetracarboxylic acid on titration with potassium hydrate give different results according as phenol phthalein or litmus is used as an indicator. They behave as tetrabasic acids when phenol phthalein is employed. If, how- eyer, one or two drops of litmus solution be added to the solution of these acids in potassium hydrate, which, as shown by phenol phthalein, had been neutralised by hydrochloric acid, a distinctly blue colouration is produced. On adding more hydrochloric acid the blue colouration changes gradually to a red tint, and the solution appears to become neutral to litmus, only when sufficient hydrochloric acid is added to neutralise one half of the potassium hydrate, which was equivalent, as shown by phenol phthalein, to the tetracarboxylic acid present. The silver salts of di-methyl and di-ethyl butanetetracarboxylic acid, unlike that of di-benzyl butanetetracarboxylic acid, are tetrabasic. The di-substituted butanetetracarboxylic acids we have obtained, when heated to 200°, all lose two molecules of carbonic anhydride, yielding di-substituted adipic acids. The study of these acids appeared to be especially interesting in view of the recent work on the di-substituted succinic, and glutaric, and pimelic acids. In accordance with Van ’t Hoff’s theory, the di-substituted succinic and glutaric acids are found in two modifications. The substituted pimelic acids, on the other hand, have only been found in one modification. Considerable interest is therefore attached to the question of isomerism in the substituted adipic acids. We have found that the di-substituted adipic acids, obtained from substituted butanetetracarboxylic acids, invariably exist in two modifications, which are readily capable of separation by crystallisation from benzene or toluene. The difference between the melting points of the two modifications is usually 60-80°. For example, two modifications of di-benzyl adipic acid were isolated, one crystallising in diamond-shaped crystals, which melted at 211—3°, the other crystallising in six-sided prisms melting at 152°. Of these derivatives of adipic acid the di-methyl alone have been previously obtained. They were prepared by Zelinsky, by the hydrolysis of ethyl dicyandimethyl adipate.’ | Experiments on succinic acid have shown that the more alkyl groups there are introduced, the more readily can an anhydride formation take place, and it was thought that this would also be the case in the adipic series. Now, the anhydride of adipic acid has been formed, yet on attempting to form anhydrides by heating the substituted adipic acids in sealed tubes with acetyl chloride, in no case could any evidence of an anhydride formation be obtained. On the other hand, whether the higher melting or lower melting modification was employed, a partial conversion into the other modification was effected. This result is remarkable, and cannot at present be understood. The author has also formed ethyl dibromobutanetetracarboxylate, by the action of bromine on a solution of ethyl butanetetracarboxylate in chloroform. It crystallises in magnificent prisms, which melt at 82-3°. The author is engaged in the investigation of this substance, and expects interesting results from the study of its derivatives and its use in synthetical chemistry. 1 Ber., 24, ii. 997 TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION B. 731 10. On the Salts of a new Platinum-sulphurea Base. By W. J. SEt1, M.A., F.C.S., F.1.C., and T, H. Hasterrientp, M.A. The authors have obtained the salts of a base Pt(CSN.H,),(OH), by the action of platinic chloride upon a hot solution of thiocarbamide in dilute hydrochloric acid, and subsequent addition of the acid the salts of which are required. The chloride Pt(CSN,H,) Cl, sulphate Pt(CSN,H,),SO,, and the picrate have been pre-~ pared and analysed. The free base corresponding apparently to Reiset’s first base Pt(NH.),(OH), has not yet been obtained pure, for its solutions undergo partial decomposition upon evaporation even ina vacuum, That the crystalline residue thus formed contains the base is evident from the fact that the above-mentioned salts can be regenerated from it. ll. On Citrazinic Acid. By W. J. Sett, WA., F.C.S., F.LC., and T. H. Hasterrietp, M.A. A. W. y. Hofmann has shown that citrazinic acid is in all probability to be re- garded as a, a’ dioxyiso-nicotinic acid. In this paper it is shown that in a number of cases the tautomeric keto formula more readily represents the reactions of the substance. The chlorine, bromine, and isonitroso, and derivatives prepared with a view to testing the constitution are quite in accordance with the keto formula, whilst the phenylhydrazo derivative has not been sufficiently studied for the authors to decide its constitution. Isonitroso-citrazinic acid is a somewhat unstable substance, yielding a beautiful silver salt; when boiled with dilute sulphuric acid it yields quinhydroketopyridin which on oxidation with dilute nitric acid yields the corresponding quinone, and by reduction appears to yield the hydroquinone which has not yet been obtained in the analytically pure condition. The above-mentioned quinhydroketopyridin dissolves in alkaline solutions with the production of a deep-blue solution, and it appears to be to this cause that the characteristic ‘ nitrite’ test for citrazinic acid is due. By the oxidation of isonitroso- citrazinic acid with nitric or nitrous acids a bright yellow acid results which gives very characteristic salts. The acid potassium and ammonium salts are precipitated in the crystalline condition by adding the chlorides of these radicles to an aqueous solution of the acid. Although the acid contains only two hydrogen atoms these are both replaceable by metals. Reduction of the yellow acid leads to the formation of the quinhydroketopyridin. By the action of cold nitric acid upon citrazinic acid a substance is produced which appears to be represented by the formula CH No,c% \co le Ne N 732 REPORT—1893. 2.e,, it seems to be a nitroquinoketopyridin; the calcium salt of this substance crystallises in beautiful yellow needles. Experiments are also in progress upon the products of reduction of citrazinamide. The reduction takes the same course as in the normal reduction of amides of the aromatic series, an alechol being produced. 12. On a Nottingham Sandstone containing Barium Sulphate as a Cementing Material. By Professor Frank Crowes, D.Sc. The author draws attention to papers presented by him to former meetings of the British Association (‘ Brit. Assoc. Reports,’ 1885, p. 1038, and 1889, p. 594). These papers described sandstone extending over a large area at Bramcote and Stapleford, in the immediate neighbourhood of Nottingham, in which crystallised barium sulphate occurred in large quantity. Bramcote and Stapleford Hills and the Hemlock stone were wholly composed of such stone. The largest quantity found in the specimens analysed reached 50 per cent.; complete analyses were given of specimens of sandstone from different parts of this district. The sulphate was in a beautifully micro-crystalline condition, and the crystals had been identified and separated both by Professor Lebour and by Mr. J. J. H. Teall. In some parts of the sandstone the barium sulphate uniformly permeated the mass. In other parts the sulphate occurred in streaks or network, the latter distribution leading to a curious mammillated weathering of the surface of the rock, owing to removal of the uncemented grains. Occasionally the cementing material occurred in nodular patches, as seen in sections of the sandstone: this led to the formation of the so-called ‘ pebble sand-beds’ at the top of one of these sandstone hills. The beds were the effect of weathering; the uncemented sand-grains became loose sand, and disseminated amongst the loose sand were the ‘pebbles,’ consisting of masses of sand-grains bound together by barium sulphate. The author has not been able to obtain from any source evidence of the occurrence of similar sandstone in any other part of this country ; he is still without direct evidence whether the sulphate has been deposited as such, as in the colliery boxes of Durham, or is the result of chemical change occurring between calcium sulphate in solution coming into contact with barium carbonate already deposited in the sandstone. C—O E—— 733 Section C.—Geroroey. PRESIDENT OF THE Section.—J. J. H. Teatr, M.A., F.R.S., F.G:S. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. The PRESIDENT delivered the following Address :— Ir is a striking and remarkable fact that, although enormous progress has been made in petrographical science during the last hundred years, there has been com- paratively little advance so far as broad, general theories relating to the origin of rocks are concerned. In Hutton’s ‘Theory of the Earth,’ the outlines of which were published in 1788, the following operations are clearly recognised :—The degradation of the earth’s surface by aqueous and atmospheric agencies; the deposition of the débris beneath the waters of the ocean; the consolidation and metamorphosis of the sedimentary deposits by the internal heat and by the injec- tion of molten mineral matter; the disturbance and upheaval of the oceanic deposits; and, lastly, the formation of rocks by the consolidation of molten material both at the surface and in the interior of the earth. Hutton regarded these operations as efficient causes ordained for the purpose of producing an earth adapted to sustain animal and vegetable life. His writings are saturated with the teleological philosophy of the age to which they belong, and some of his arguments strike us, therefore, as strange and inconclusive; moreover, the imperfect state of the sciences of chemistry and physics occasionally led him into serious error. Notwithstanding these imperfections, we are compelled to admit, when viewing his work in the light of modern knowledge, that we can find the traces, and sometimes far more than the traces, of those broad general theories relating to dynamical geology which are current at the present day. If Hutton had contented himself with proving the reality of the agencies to which reference has been made, it is probable that his views would have been generally accepted. But he went much further than this, and boldly maintained that one or other of these agencies, or several combined, would account for all the phenomena with which the geologist has to deal. It was this that gave rise to the controversial fire which blazed up with such fury during the early years of this century, and whose dying embers have not yet been extinguished. The views of Hutton were in strong contrast to those of Werner, the celebrated professor of mineralogy at Freiberg, to whom science owes a debt of gratitude as great as that due to the Scottish physician. The value of a man’s work must not simply be judged by the truth of the theory which he holds. I consider that the Wernerian theory—by which I understand a reference to the early stages of planetary evolution for the purpose of explaining certain geological facts—has been on the wane from the time it was propounded down to the present day; but T claim to be second to none in my admiration for the knowledge, genius, and enthusiasm of the illustrious Saxon professor. The uniformitarian doctrines of Hutton gave a very decided character to the theoretical views of British geologists during the middle of the century, in consequence of the eloquent support of 734 REPORT— 1893. Lyell; but of late there has been a tendency to hark back to a modified form of Wernerism. This tendency can, I think, be largely traced to the recognition of evolution as a factor in biology and physical astronomy. The discoveries in these sciences may necessitate a modification of the views held by some of the extreme advocates of uniformitarianism. This admission, however, by no means carries with it the conclusion that the methods based on the doctrine of uniformitarianism must be discarded. If I read the history of geology aright, every important advance in the theoretical interpretation of observed facts relating to physical geology has been made by the application of these methods. It does not, of course, follow that the progress in the future will be exactly along the same lines as that in the past ; but, if I am right in the opinion I have expressed, it is a strong reason for adhering to the old methods until they have been proved to be inapplicable to at least some of the facts with which the physical geologist has to deal. Let us consider for a moment whether the recognition of evolution as a factor in biology and physical astronomy gives an @ priort probability to some form of Wernerism, The period of time represented by our fossiliferous records is perhaps equivalent to that occupied by the evolution of the vertebrata, but all the great subdivisions of the invertebrata were living in the Cambrian period, and must have been differentiated in still earlier times. Is it not probable, therefore, that the fossili- ferous records at present known represent a period insignificant in comparison with that during which life has existed upon the earth? Again, is it not probable that the period during which life has existed is a still smaller fraction of that which has elapsed since the formation of the primitive crust? And if so, what @ priort reason have we for believing that the rocks accessible to observation contain the records of the early stages of the planet’s history? But the advocates of the diluted forms of Wernerism which find expression in geological writings at the present day almost invariably refer to recent speculations in cosmical physics. The views of astronomers have always had a powerful influence on those of geologists. Hutton wrote at a time when the astronomical world had been profoundly affected by Lagrange’s discovery, in 1776, of the periodicity of the secular changes in the forms of the planetary orbits. The doubts as to the stability of the solar system which the recognition of these changes had inspired were thus removed, and astro- nomers could then see in the physical system of the universe ‘no vestige of a beginning—no prospect of an end.’ Now itis otherwise. Tidal friction and the dissipation of energy by the earth and by the sun are each referred to as fixing a limit to the existing conditions. I have not the knowledge necessary to enable me to discuss these questions, and I will therefore admit, for the sake of argument, that the phenomena referred to indicate the lines along which the physical evolu- tion of our planet has taken place; but does it follow that geologists should desert a working hypothesis which has led to brilliant results in the past for one which has been tzied again and again and always found wanting? If there were absolute unanimity amongst mathematical physicists, it might be necessary for us to reconsider our position. This, however, is not the case. After referring to the argument from tidal friction, Professor Darwin, in his address to the Mathematical and Physical Section for 1886, says:—‘On the whole, then, I can neither feel the cogency of the argument from tidal friction itself, nor, accept- ing it, can I place any reliance on the limits which it assigns to geological history.’ In reviewing the argument from the secular cooling of the earth, he points out that the possibility of the generation of heat in the interior by tidal friction has been ignored, and that the thermal data on which the calculations are based are not sufficiently complete to remove all reasonable doubt. He regards the case depending on the secular cooling of the sun as the strongest; but it is evident that, in view of undreamt-of possibilities, he would not allow it to have much weight in the face of adverse geological evidence. In conclusion he says :— ‘ Although speculations as to the future course of science are usually of little avail, yet it seems as likely that meteorology and geology will pass the word of command to cosmical physics as the converse. At present our knowledge of a definite limit to geological time has so little precision that we should do wrong to summarily reject any theories which appear to demand longer periods of time than those which now TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 735 appear allowable. In each branch of science hypothesis forms the nucleus for the aggregation of observation, and as long as facts are assimilated and co-ordinated we ought to follow our theory.’ Now, my point is that the uniformitarian hypothesis, as applied to the rocks we can examine, has assimilated and co-ordinated so many facts in the past, and is assimilating and co-ordinating so many new dis- coveries, that we should continue to follow it, rather than plunge into the trackless waste of cosmogonical speculation in pursuit of what may after all prove to be a will-o’-the-wisp. As an additional illustration of the want of agreement amongst mathematical physicists on questions relating to the earth, I may refer to certain papers by Mr. Chree.!’ This author maintains that the modern theory of elasticity points to the conclusion that if a spherical globe, composed of a nearly incompressible elastic solid of the size of the earth, were set rotating as the earth is rotating, it would take the form which the earth actually possesses. How is the question of the fixity of the earth’s axis affected by Mr. Chree’s researches, and by the recent observations which prove a simultaneous change of latitude, in opposite directions, in Europe and at Honolulu? If geological facts point to a shifting of the position of the axis, is there any dynamical reason why they should not receive due con- sideration? Geologists want as much freedom as possible. We do not object to any limitations which are necessary in the interest of science, and we cordially welcome, and as a matter of fact are largely dependent upon, assistance from other departments of knowledge ; but those who would help us should bear in mind that the problems we have still to solve are extremely difficult and complex, so that if certain avenues of thought are closed on insufficient grounds by arguments of the validity of which we are unable to judge, but which we are naturally disposed to take on trust, the difficulties of our task may be greatly augmented and the progress of science seriously retarded. So far as I can judge, there is no @ prior? reason why we should believe that any of the rocks we now see were formed during the earlier stages of planetary evolution. We are free to examine them in our own way, and to draw on the bank of time to any extent that may seem necessary. ; For some years past the greater part of my time has been devoted to a study of the composition and structure of rocks, and it has occurred to me that I might, on the present occasion, give expression to my views on the question as to whether the present position of petrographical science necessitates any important modification in the theoretical views introduced by the uniformitarian geologists. Must we supplement the ideas of Hutton and Lyell by any reference to primordial conditions when we endeavour to realise the manner in which the rocks we can see and handle were produced? The question I propose to consider is not whether some of these rocks may have been formed under physical conditions different from those which now exist—life is too short to make a discussion of geological possi- bilities a profitable pursuit—but whether the present state of petrographical science renders uniformitarianism untenable as a working hypothesis; and, if so, to what extent. There is nothing original in what I am about to lay before you. All that I propose to do is to select from the numerous facts and more or less conflict- ing views bearing on the question I have stated a few of those which appear to me to be of considerable importance. The sedimentary rocks contain the history of life upon the earth, and on this account, as well as on account of their extensive development at the surface, they have necessarily received an amount of attention which is out of all proportion to their importance as constituent portions of the planet. They are, after all, only skin deep. If they were totally removed from our globe its importance as a mem- ber of the solar system would not be appreciably diminished. The general laws governing the formation and deposition of these sediments have been fairly well 1 C. Chree, ‘On Some Applications of Physics and Mathematics to Geology,’ Phil. Mag., vol. xxxii. (1891), pp. 233, 342. 736 REPORT—1893. understood for a long time. Hutton, as we have already seen, clearly realised that the land is always wasting away, and that the materials are accumulating on the beds of rivers, lakes, and seas. The chemical effects of denudation are mainly seen in the breaking up of certain silicates and the separation of their constituents into those which are soluble and those which are insoluble under surface conditions. The mechanical effects are seen in the disintegration of rocks, and this may, under certain circumstances, take place without the decomposition of their component minerals.! Quartz and the aluminous silicates, which enter largely into the compo- sition of shales and clays, are two of the most important insoluble constituents. It must be remembered, however, that felspars often possess considerable powers of resistance, and rocks which contain them may be broken up without complete or anything like complete decomposition of these minerals, Orthoclase, microcline, and oligoclase are the varieties which most successfully resist decomposition ; and, as a natural consequence, occur most abundantly in sedimentary deposits. It is commonly stated that when felspars are attacked the general effect is to reduce them to a fine powder, composed of a hydrated silicate of alumina, and to remove the alkalies, lime, and a portion of the silica. But, as Dr. Sterry Hunt has so frequently urged, the removal of alkalies is imperfect, for they are almost invariably present in argillaceous deposits. Three, four, and even five per cent., consisting mainly of potash, may frequently be found. This alkali appears to be present in micaceous minerals, which are often produced, as very minute scales, during the decomposition of felspars. White mica, whether formed in this way or asa product of igneous or metamorphic action, possesses great powers of resistance to the ordi- nary surface agencies of decomposition, and so may be used over and over again in the making of sedimentary depesits. Brown mica is also frequently separated from granite and other rocks, and deposited as a constituent of sediments; but it is far more liable to decomposition than the common white varieties, and its geological life is, therefore, comparatively short.? Small crystals and grains of zircon, rutile, ilmenite, cyanite, and tourmaline are nearly indestructible, and occur as accessory constituents in the finer-grained sandstones.* Garnet and staurolite also possess considerable powers of resistance, and are not unfrequently present in the same deposits. If we except the last two minerals and a few others, such as epidote, the silicates containing lime, iron, and magnesia are, as a rule, decomposed by surface agencies and the bases removed in solution; augite, enstatite, hornblende, and jime-felspars are extremely rare as constituents of ordinary sediments. The insoluble constituents resulting from the waste of land surfaces are deposited as gravel, sand, and mud; the soluble constituents become separated as solid bodies by evaporation of the water in inland seas and lagoons, by chemical action, and by organic life. They are deposited as carbonates, sulphates, chlorides, and sometimes, as in the case of iron and manganese, as oxides. The soluble silica may be deposited in the opaline condition by the action of sponges, radiolaria, and diatoms, or as sinter. The question that we have now to consider is whether there is any marked difference between ancient and modern sediments. One of the oldest deposits in the British Isles is the Torridon sandstone of the north-west of Scotland. The recent discovery of Olenellus high up in the stratified rocks which unconformably overlie this deposit has placed its pre-Cambrian age beyond all doubt. Now this formation is mainly composed of quartz and felspar, at least in its upper part, and the latter mineral is both abundant and very slightly altered. One is naturally tempted, at first sight, to associate the freshness of the felspar with the great age of the rock—to assume either that the sand was formed at a time when the chemical agents of decomposition did not act with the same force as now, or that they had 1 J.

Survey,’ Geology of London, vol. i. p. 523. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 737. not been in operation for a sufficient length of time to eliminate the felspar. “A pure quartzose sand is probably never formed by the direct denudation of a granitic or gneissose area. The coarser sediments thus produced contain in most, if not in all, cases a considerable amount of felspar. But felspar is more liable to decompo- sition by percolating waters when it occurs as a constituent of grit than when present in the parent rock. Silica may thus be liberated in a soluble form, and subsequently deposited on the grains of quartz so as to give rise to secondary crystalline faces, and kaolin may be produced as beautiful six-sided tablets in the interstices of the grit. When the grit is in its turn denuded the felspar is still - further reduced in amount, and a purer quartz-sand is formed. As the coarser detrital material is used over and over again, thus measuring different periods of time like the sand in an hour-glass, the felspar and other decomposable minerals are gradually eliminated. The occurrence of a large amount of fresh felspar in the Torridon sandstone might, I say, at first sight be thought to be due to the great age of the rock. Any tendency to accept a view of this kind is, however, at once checked when attention is paid to the pebbles in the coarser conglomeratic beds of the same deposit. These consist largely of quartzite—a rock formed by the con- solidation of as pure a quartz-sand as any known to exist in the later formations. We are therefore led to the conclusion that the special features of the Torridon sandstone are not a function of time, but of the local conditions under which the rock was produced. A similar conclusion may be reached by considering other types of sediment. When the stratified rocks of the different geological periods represented in any limited area are compared with each other certain marked differences may be observed, but the different types formed in any one area at different times can often be parallelled with the different types formed in different areas at the same time, and also with those now forming beneath the waters of rivers, lakes, and seas. Deep sea, shallow water, littoral and terrestrial deposits can be recognised in the formations belonging to many geological periods, from the most ancient to the most recent ; and there is no evidence that any of our sedimentary rocks carry us back to atime when the physical conditions of the planet were materially different from those which now exist. After reviewing all the evidence at my disposal, I must,’ however, admit that the coarser as well as the finer deposits of the earlier periods appear to be more complex in composition than those of the later. The grits of the Paleozoic formations, taken as a whole, contain more felspar than the sandstones of the Mesozoic and Tertiary formations, and the slates and shales of the former contain more alkalies than the clays of the latter. This statement will hold good for the British Isles, even when allowance is made for the enormous amount of volcanic material amongst the older rocks—a phenomenon which I hold to be of purely local significance—but I strongly suspect that it will not be found to apply univer- sally. In any case, it is not of much importance from our present point of view. All geologists will admit that denudation and deposition were taking place in pre-Oambrian times, under chemical and physical conditions very similar to, if not identical with, those of the present day. There is, however, one general consideration of more serious import. Additions to the total amount of detrital material are now being made by the decomposition of igneous rocks, and there is no doubt that this has been going on during the whole period of time represented by our stratified deposits. It follows, therefore, as @ necessary consequence that strict uniformitarianism is untenable, unless we suppose that igneous magmas are formed by the melting of sediments. o far we have been dealing with the characters of sedimentary rocks as seen in hand-specimens rather than with those which depend on their distribution over large areas. Thanks to Delesse! and the officers of the ‘ Challenger’ Expedition,” an attempt has now been made to construct maps on which the distribution of the sediments in course of formation at the present time is laid down. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of such maps from a geological point of view, for on the facts which they express rests the correct interpretation of our stratigraphical 1 Lithologie du Fond des Mers. Paris, 1871. * Report on Deep-sea Deposits, 1891. 1893. Feds} ie~] 738 REPORT—1893. records, Imperfect as is our knowledge of the sea-beds of former geological periods, it is in many respects more complete than that of the sea-beds of the present day. The former we can often examine at our leisure, and follow from point to point in innumerable exposures; the latter are known only from a few soundings, often taken at great distances apart.'_ An examination of such imper- fect maps as we have raises many questions of great interest and importance, to one of which I wish to direct special attention—not because it is new, but because it is often overlooked. The boundary lines separating the distinct types of deposit on these maps are not, of course, chronological lines. They do not separate sedi- ments produced at different times, but different sediments simultaneously forming in diflerent places. Now, the lines on our geological maps are usually drawn by tracing the boundary between two distinct lithological types, and, as a natural consequence, such lines will not always be chronological lines. It is only when the existing outcrop runs parallel with the margin of the original area of deposit that this is the fact. Consider the case of a subsiding area—or, to avoid theory, let us say an area in which the water-level rises relatively to the land—and, for the sake of illustration, let us suppose that the boundary separating the districts over which sand and mud are accumulating remains parallel to the old coast-line during the period of deposition. This line will follow the retreating coast, so that if, after the consolidation, emergence, and denudation of the deposits, the outcrop happens to be oblique to the old shore, then the line on the geological map sepa- rating clay and sand will not be of chronological value. That portion of it which lies nearer to the position of the vanished land will represent a later period than that which lies further away. If such organisms as ammonites leave their remains in the different deposits, and thus define different chronological horizons with approximate accuracy, the imperfection of the lithological boundary as a chrono- logical horizon will become manifest. It is not that the geological map is wrong. Such maps have necessarily to be constructed with reference to economic considera- tions, and from this point of view the lithological boundaries are of paramount importance. They are, moreover, in many cases the only boundaries that can be actually traced. The geological millennium will be near at hand when we can construct maps which shall represent the distribution of the different varieties of sediment for each of the different geological periods. All we can say at present is that increase of knowledge in this direction tends greatly to strengthen the uni- formitarian hypothesis. We can see, for example, that during Triassic times marine conditions prevailed over a large part of what is now the great mountain- belt of the Euro-Asiatic continent, whilst littoral and terrestrial conditions existed in the north of Europe; and we can catch glimpses of the onward sweep of the sedimentary zones during the great Cretaceous transgression, culminating in the widespread deep-sea * conditions under which the Chalk was deposited. We turn now to the igneous rocks. Itis no part of my purpose to treat in detail of the growth of knowledge from an historical point of view and to attempt to allot to each observer the credit due to him; but there is one name that I desire to mention in this connection, because it is that of a man who clearly proved the essential identity of ancient and modern volcanic rocks by the appli- cation of precise petrographical methods at a time when there was a very general belief that the Tertiary and pre-Tertiary rocks were radically distinct. I need hardly say that I refer to Mr. Samuel Allport.*| He wrote at a time when ob- 1 Suess, Das Antlitz der Erde, Bd. I1., s. 267. 2 See S. S.

TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 739 servers in this country had to prepare their own sections, and those who, like myself, have had the privilege of examining many of his slides scarcely know which to admire most—the skill and patience of which they are the evidence, or the conciseness and accuracy of his petrographical descriptions. His papers do not occupy a large number of pages, but they are based on an amount of obser- vation which is truly surprising. The general conclusions at which he arrived as to the essential identity of ancient and modern igneous rocks are expressed with the utmost confidence, and one feels, after going over his material, that this con- fidence was thoroughly justified. It is curious now to note that the one British champion of the distinctness of the Tertiary and pre-Tertiary rocks pointed to the difference between the Antrim and Limerick traps. These traps differ in exactly the same way as do the corresponding Tertiary and pre-Tertiary continental rocks, with this important difference. On the Continent the ophitic structure is cha- racteristic of the pre-Tertiary rocks, whereas in the north of Ireland it is a marked feature of those of Tertiary age. We see, therefore, that the arguments for the distinctness of the two sets of rocks derived from the two areas, based in both cases on perfectly accurate observations, neutralise each other, and the cage hopelessly breaks down as regards the basalts and dolerites. In this country it is now generally recognised that, when allowance is made for alterations which are necessarily more marked in the earlier than in the later rocks, there is no important difference either in structure or composition between the rhyolites, andesites, and basalts of the Paleozoic and Tertiary periods. But identity of structure and composition may in this case be taken to imply identity as to the physical conditions under which the rocks were produced. We are thus led to picture in our minds long lines of volcanoes fringing the borders of Paleo- zoic continents and rising as islands in the Paleozoic seas. Then, as now, there issued from the craters of these volcanoes enormous masses of fragmental material, a large portion of which was blown to dust by the explosive escape of steam and other gases from the midst of molten rock; and then, as now, there issued from fissures on their flanks vast masses of lava which consolidated as rhyolite, andesite, and basalt. We may sum up the case as regards the volcanic rocks by saying that, so long as observations are confined to a limited area, doubts may arise as to the truth of the uniformitarian view, but these doubts gradually fade away as the area of observation is extended. There are still some outstanding difficulties, such as the apparent absence of leucite lavas amongst the Paleozoic formations; but as many similar difficulties have been overcome in the past, it is improbable that those which remain are of a very formidable character. So far we have been referring to rocks formed at the surface of the earth under conditions similar to those now in operation. But there are others, such as granite, gneiss, and mica-schist, which are obviously unlike any of the products of surface agencies. If these rocks are forming now, it must be beneath the surface. This point was clearly realised by Hutton. Granite was proved by him to be an igneous rock of subterranean origin. His conclusions as to the formation of the schists are expressed in a passage so remarkable when viewed in connection with what I regard as the tendency of modern research that I make no apology for quoting it at length. ‘If, in examining our land, we shall find a mass of matter which had been evidently formed originally in the ordinary manner of stratifica- tion, but which is now extremely distorted in its structure, and displaced in its position—which is also extremely consolidated in its mass, and variously changed in its composition—which therefore has the marks of its original or marine com- position extremely obliterated, and many subsequent veins of melted mineral matter interjected; we should then have reason to suppose that here were masses of matter which, though not different in their origin from those that are gradually deposited at the bottom of the ocean, have been more acted upon by subterranean heat and the expanding power, that is to say, have been changed in a greater degree by the operations of the mineral region. If this conclusion shall be thought reasonable, then here is an explanation of all the peculiar appearances of the Alpine schistus masses of our land, those parts which haye been erroneously 3 B2 740 REPORT—1893. considered as primitive in the constitution of the earth.’ Surely it is not claiming too much for our author to say that we have there, sketched in broad outline, the theories of thermal and dynamic metamorphism which are attracting so much attention at the present day. The hypogene origin of the normal plutonic rocks and their formation at different periods, even as late as the Tertiary, are facts which are now so generally recognised that we may leave these rocks without further comment and pass on to the consideration of the crystalline schists. Everyone knows that the statement, ‘He who runs may read,’ is untrue when the stratigraphical interpretation of an intensely folded and faulted district is concerned. The complexity produced by the earth-movements in such regions can only be unrayelled by detailed work after definite paleontological and litho- logical horizons have been established. But if the statement be untrue when applied to districts composed of ordinary stratified rocks, still less can it be true of regions of crystalline schist where the movements have often been much more intense ; where the original characters of the rocks have been profoundly modified ; and where all distinct traces of fossils have in most cases been obliterated. If detailed work like that of Professor Lapworth at Dobb’s Linn was required to solve the stratigraphical difficulties of the Southern Uplands, is it not probable that even more detailed work will be required to solve the structural problems of such a district as the Highlands of Scotland, where the earth-stresses, though some- what similar, have operated with greater intensity, and where the injection of molten mineral matter has taken place more than once both on a large and ona small scale? With these few general remarks by way of introduction, I will now call attention to what appear to me to be the most promising lines of investigation in this department of geology. The crystalline schists certainly do not form a natural group. Some are un- doubtedly plutonic igneous rocks showing original fluxion ; others are igneous rocks which have been deformed by earth-stresses subsequent to consolidation ; others, again, are sedimentary rocks metamorphosed by dynamic and thermal agencies, and more or less injected with ‘molten mineral matter’; and lastly, some cannot be classified with certainty under any of these heads. So much being granted, it is obvious that we must deal with this petrographical complex by separating from it those rocks about the origin of which there can be no reasonable doubt. Until this separation has been effected, it is quite impossible to discuss with profit the question as to whether any portions of the primitive crust remain. In order to carry out this work it is necessary to establish some criterion by which the rocks of igneous may be separated from those of sedimentary origin. Such a criterion may, I think, be found, at any rate in many cases, by combining chemical with field evidence.” If associated rocks possess the composition of grits, sandstones, shales, and limestones, and contain also traces of stratification, it seems perfectly justifiable to conclude that they must have been originally formed by processes of denudation and deposition. That we have such rocks in the Alps and in the Central Highlands of Scotland, to mention only two localities, will be admitted by all who are familiar with those regions. Again, if the associated rocks possess the composition of igneous products, it seems equally reasonable to conclude that they are of igneous origin. Such a series we find in the north-west of Scotland, in the Malvern Hills, and at the Lizard. In applying the test of chemical composition it is very neces- sary to remember that it must be based, not on a comparison of individual speci- mens, but of groups of specimens. A granite and an arkose, a granitic gneiss and a gneiss formed by the metamorphosis of a grit, may agree in chemical and even in mineralogical composition. The chemical test would therefore utterly fail if employed for the purpose of discriminating between these rocks. But when we introduce the principle of paragenesis it enables us in many cases to distinguish between them. The granitic gneiss will be associated with rocks having the composition of diorites, gabbros, and peridotites ; the sedimentary gneiss, with rocks 1 Theory of the Earth, vol. i. p. 375. 2 H. Rosenbusch, ‘ Zur Auffassung der chemischen Natur des Grundgebirges,’ Min. und petro. Mitth., xii. (1891), p. 49. —a TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 741 answering to sandstones, shales, and limestones. Apply this test to the gneisses of Scotland, and I believe it will be found in many cases to furnish a solution of the problem, Caution, however, is necessary ; for crystal-building and the formation of segregation veins and patches in the sedimentary schists clearly prove that a migration of constituents takes place under certain circumstances, Recent work on the gneisses and schists of igneous composition has shown that the parallel structure, by no means invariably present, is sometimes the result of fluxion during the final stages of consolidation, and sometimes due to the plastic deformation of solid rocks. When compared with masses of ordinary plutonic rock, the principal points of difference, apart from those due to secondary dynamic causes, depend on what may be called their extreme petrographical differentiation. Indications of differentiation may, however, be seen in the contemporaneous veins and basic patches so common in ordinary irruptive bosses, but they are never so marked as in gneissic regions, like those of the north-west of Scotland, where specimens answering in composition to granites, diorites, and even peridotites may be collected repeatedly in very limited areas. The nearest approach to the conditions of gneissose regions is to be found in connected masses of diverse plutonic rocks, such as those which are sometimes found on the borders of great granitic intrusions. The tectonic relations of those gneisses which resemble igneous rocks in composition fully bear out the plutonic theory as to their origin. Thus, the intru- sive character of granitic gneiss in a portion of the Himalayas has been demon- strated by General McMahon.' The protogine of Mont Blanc has been investigated by M. Lévy ? with the same result. Most significant of all are the discoveries in the vast Archean region of Canada. Professor Lawson * has shown that immense areas of the so-called Laurentian gneiss in the district north-west of Lake Superior are intrusive in the surrounding rocks, and therefore newer, not older, than these. Professor Adams‘ has quite recently established a similar fact as regards the anorthosite rocks—the so-called Norian—of the Saguenay River and other districts lying near the eastern margin of the ‘Canadian shield.’ Now that the intrusive character of so many gneisses is being recognised, one wonders where the tide of discovery will stop. How long will it be before the existence of gneisses of Tertiary age will be generally admitted? At any rate, the discoveries of recent years have compelled the followers of Wernerian methods to evacuate large slices of territory. Turning now to the gneisses and schists which resemble sedimentary rocks in composition, we note that the parallel structure may be due to original stratifica- tion, to subsequent deformation, or to both of these agencies combined. It must also be remembered that they have often been injected with igneous material, as Hutton pointed out. Where this has followed parallel planes of weakness, we have a banding due to alternations of igneous and sedimentary material. This injection Mit par lit has been shown by M. Lévy to be a potent cause in the forma- tion of certain banded gneisses. Will the various agencies to which reference has been made explain all the phenomena of the crystalline schists and gneisses? I do not think that the present state of our knowledge justifies us in answering this question in the affirmative. Those who are working on these rocks frequently have brought under their notice specimens about the origin of which they are not able to speak with any degree of confidence. Sometimes a flood of light is suddenly thrown on a group of doubtful rocks by the recognition of a character which gives unmistakable indications of their mode of origin. Thus, some of the fine-grained quartz-felspathic rocks asso- ciated with the crystalline schists of the Central Highlands are proved to have 1 «The Geology of Dalhousie,’ Records of Geol.

Such pleasant surprises as the recognition of a character like this increase our confidence in the theory which endeavours to explain the past by reference to the present, _and refuses to admit the necessity of believing in the existence of rocks formed under physical conditions different from those which now prevail simply because there are some whose origin is still involved in mystery. A crystalline schist has been aptly compared to a palimpsest. Historical records of priceless value have often been obscured by the superposition of later writings ; so it is with the records of the rocks. In the case of the schists the original characters have been so modified by folding, faulting, deformation, crystallisation, and segregation that they have often become unrecognisable. But when the asso- ciated rocks have the composition of sediments we need have no hesitation in attributing the banded structure in some way to stratification, provided we clearly recognise that the order of succession and the relative thicknesses of the original beds cannot be ascertained by applying the principles which are valid in compara- tively undisturbed regions. In studying the crystalline schists nothing, perhaps, strikes one more forcibly than the evidence of crystal-building in solid rocks. Chiastolite, staurolite, anda- lusite, garnet, albite, cordierite, micas of various kinds, and many other minerals have clearly been developed without anything like fusion having taken place. Traces of previous movements may not unfrequently be found in the arrangement of the inclusions, while the minerals themselves show no signs of deformation. Facts of this kind, when they occur, clearly indicate that the crystallisation was subsequent to the mechanical action. Nevertheless, it is probable that both phenomena were closely related, though not in all cases as cause and effect. The intrusion of large masses of plutonic rock often marks the close of a period of folding, This is well illustrated by the relation of granite to the surrounding rocks in the Lake District, the Southern Uplands of Scotland, and the west of England. Those of the two first-mentioned localities are post-Silurian and pre- Carboniferous, those of the last-mentioned locality are post-Carboniferous and pre- Permian ; one set followed the Caledonian’ folding, the other set followed the Hercynian folding. That the intrusion of these granites was subsequent to the main movements which produced the folding and cleavage is proved by the fact that the mechanical structures may often be recognised in the crystalline contact- rocks, although the individual minerals have not been strained or broken. In many other respects the rocks produced by so-called contact-metamorphism re- semble those found in certain areas of crystalline schist. Many of the most characteristic minerals are common to the two sets of rocks, and so also are many structures. The cipolins and associated rocks of schistose regions have many points of resemblance to the crystalline limestones and ‘ kalksilicathornfels ’ pro- duced by contact-metamorphism.” These facts make it highly probable that, by studying the metamorphic action surrounding plutonic masses, we may gain an insight into the causes which have produced the crystalline schists of sedimentary origin; just as, by studying the intrusive masses themselves and noting the tendency to petrographical differentia- tion, especially at the margins, we may gain an insight into the causes which have produced the gneisses of igneous origin. In the districts to which reference has been made the igneous material came from below into a region where the rocks had been rendered tolerably rigid. Differential movement was not taking place in these rocks when the intrusion occurred. Consider what must happen if the folding stresses operate on the zone separating the sedimentary rocks from the ? This term is employed in the sense in which it is used by Suess and Bertrand. * H.

Intrusion must then take place during interstitial movement, fluxion structures will be produced in the more or less differentiated igneous magmas, the sediments will be injected and impregnated with igneous material, and thermo-metamorphism will be produced on a regional scale. The origin of gneisses and schists, in my opinion, is to be sought for in a combination of the thermal and dynamic agencies which may be reasonably supposed to operate in the deeper zones of the earth’s crust. If this view be correct, it is not improbable that we may have crystalline schists and gneisses of post-Silurian age in the north-west of Europe formed during the Caledonian fold- Ing, others in Central Europe of post-Devonian age due to the Hercynian folding, and yet others in Southern Europe of post-Cretaceous age produced in connection with the Alpine folding.’ But if the existence of such schists should ultimately be established it will still probably remain true that rocks of this character are in most cases of pre-Cambrian age. May not this be due to the fact, suggested by a consideration of the biological evidence, that the time covered by our fossiliferous records is but a small fraction of that during which the present physical conditions have remained practically constant ? The good old British ship ‘ Uniformity,’ built by Hutton and refitted by Lyell, has won so many glorious victories in the past, and appears still to be in such excellent fighting trim, that I see no reason why she should haul down her colours either to ‘Catastrophe’ or ‘Evolution.’ Instead, therefore, of acceding to the request to ‘hurry up’ we make a demand for more time. The early stages of the planet’s history may form a legitimate subject for the speculations of mathematical physicists, but there seems good reason to believe that they lie beyond the ken of those geologists who concern themselves only with the records of the rocks. In this address I have ventured to express my views on certain disputed theoretical questions, and I must not conclude without a word of caution. The fact is, I attach very little importance to my own opinions, at least on doubtful questions connected with the origin of the crystailine schists; but, as you have done me the honour to accept me as your President, I thought you might like to know my present attitude of mind towards some of the unsolyed problems of geology. There is still room for legitimate difference of opinion on many of the subjects to which I have referred. Meanwhile, we cannot do better than remember the words with which one of our great living masters recently concluded an article on a controversial subject: ‘Let us continue our work and remain friends.’ ? Some geologists maintain that this is the case, others deny it. See H. Reusch, ‘ Die fossilienftihrenden krystallinischen Schiefer von Bergen in Norwegen,’ Leipzig, 1883 ; J.

Although it is convenient to speak of the three types of folding which have so largely influenced the structure of the European continent as if each belonged to a definite period, it is important to remember that this is not strictly true. The movements were prolonged; they probably crept slowly over the surface of the lithosphere, as did the zones of sedimentation, so that those of the same type are not in all places strictly contemporaneous. The following Papers and Reports were read :— 1. Notes on the Water-bearing Capacity of the New Red Sandstone of Nottingham. By Professor Epwarp Hutt, DL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S. About half a century ago, before the problems of sanitation were generally understood, the town of Nottingham was placed in a most unfavourable position as 744 REPORT—1893. _ regards drainage and water-supply. As regards the former the drainage of the houses for the most part was run off into cesspools sunk in the sandstone rock on which the town is built ; and as regards the latter the water-supply was drawn from wells sunk through the same formation down to the water-level, so that often the cesspools and wells were in proximity to each other. The result of such a state of affairs may easily be surmised. However excellent as a filter may be the sand- stone rock, it must assuredly become clogeed with fecal matter when filtration of water is carried on for an indefinite period, subject to such contamination as is here referred to, and in course of time the water from the wells becomes unfit for drinking and household purposes. Now all this is changed: the cesspools have been closed or filled up, and the water-supply is drawn from large and deep wells far removed from possibility of contamination, Few towns in central England are more favourably situated for purposes of . water-supply than Nottingham. Built on a foundation of New Red Sandstone and conglomerate, which rises at the Castle in a precipitous cliff above the valley of the Trent, the formation on which the city stands in its prolongation northwards is a source of water-supply of the highest excellence, and yields several millions of gallons per day of pure water from three or four wells situated within a few miles of the city. The conditions which render this formation so well adapted for water-supply may be briefly explained. The succession and character of the strata all combine towards this end. In descending order the succession is as follows :— gypseous (slightly permeable). Waterstones and Loner Laminated micaceous sandstones Keuper Maris. . . Red and variegated marl, shaly and Tatse Keuper Sandstone alternating with marls and shales. Bunter Sandstone . . Soft yellow and reddish sandstone and conglomerate (permeable). { Red Calcareous Maris, These are the strata separating the Upper and Lower limestones of pT | the Worksop district to the north (impervious). Loner Magnesian Lime- Sandy magnesian limestones. stone From the above succession it will be seen that the permeable beds of the Bunter Sandstone, about 200 feet in thickness, are underlain by impervious marls of the Permian series, which thus forma water-tight floor, effectually preventing the water which percolates downwards from the surface to escape into the magnesian lime- stone; and, as the beds dip eastwards at a small angle from the western margin of the formation, an underground reservoir is thus formed with a naturally permanent level corresponding to that of the springs which break out at the junction of the sandstone with the marl along the western outcrop. The proportion of the rainfall, taken at an average of 30 inches, which sinks down into the Bunter Sandstone north of Nottingham must be very large owing to the absence of drift deposits and the sandy character of the ground. As there is no surface drainage the percolation cannot be less than about 20 inches per annum, giving a supply of about 1,000,000 gallons to every 3 square miles, Taking the area of the formation between Nottingham and Worksop at 120 square miles, the amount of water which annually percolates into the rock and becomes a reservoir of supply may be estimated at about 40,000,000 gallons per day. This large quantity of water tends to flow eastwards, following the dip of the beds; and that it has permanently saturated the Bunter Sandstone under an exten- sive area occupied by the overlying formations is proved by the result of the boring at Scarle, near Lincoln, which, commencing in the Lower Lias, passed down through the Keuper marls into the Bunter, when the water came up with force and flowed over the surface. This boring is at a minimum distance of 20 miles from the 1 Two feeders of water were struck—one at a depth of 917 feet in the Lower Keuper Sandstone, and the other at 1,250 feet in the Bunter Sandstone. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 745 margin of the Bunter Sandstone. From these considerations it may be inferred that Nottingham is most favourably situated as regards its water-supply for a long period to come; a circumstance of great importance at a time when so many large manufacturing towns are looking forwards with anxiety to the future as regards this prime necessary of progress and prosperity. Since the above was written I have been favoured by Mr. L. T. Godfrey Evans, the Borough Engineer, with information, of which the following is a summary :— There are four pumping stations, of which one, the Park, Zion Hill, is not now in use. The others are:— 1. Basford or Bagthorpe, yielding 12,800,000 gallons per week. 2. Bestwood, yielding 11,800,000 a 4p 3. Papplewick, yielding 12,190,000 rf = In all 36,790,000 gallons per week, or 5,257,143 gallons per day. The supply at Bestwood is decreasing, owing probably to mining operations in the neighbourhood. The yield at the Park Station is about 5} millions of gallons per week. The water is excellent. 2. On a Nottingham Sandstone containing Barium Sulphate as a Cementing Material, By Professor Frank Crowes, D.Sc. (See p. 732.) 3. On the Discovery of a Concealed Ridge of pre-Carboniferous Rocks under the Trias of Netherseal, Leicestershire. By Professor Epwarp Hutt, PD, Eh.Ss HGS. It is now generally recognised that the Leicestershire and Warwickshire Coal- measures were deposited along the borders of a land surface of older Paleozoic rocks, of which the visible representatives occur at Charnwood Forest and Ather- stone. The attenuated condition of the Lower Carboniferous beds at Calke Abbey on the north of the Leicestershire Coalfield and their entire absence below the Coal-measures of Warwickshire show that these older rocks remained unsubmerged till the commencement of the Upper Carboniferous period, when they were gradually overspread, as the land became depressed, by successive deposits of the Coal period. The general north-westerly trend of these old foundation rocks, both at Charnwood - Forest and Atherstone, appears to indicate that this old land was composed of a succession of ridges and furrows running in N.W. and S.E. directions; but as the country is for the most part covered by Triassic strata the position of such ridges and hollows can only be determined by experiment. One of these ridges appears to have been in this manner determined at Netherseal Colliery in a boring put down for the purpose of determining the extension of ‘the main coal.’ Having been invited by Mr. G. J. Binns, F.G.S., the manager of the colliery, to give my opinion regarding the age of the beds passed through in the lower part of the - boring, I visited the colliery and inspected the cores which were brought up and were arranged in their order of relative depth at the works. The following is an abstract of the strata passed through :— S Bunter Sandstone; light reddish-brown, pebbly TRIAS ais l sandstone; 262 feet. ieee : ; Grey and black shales and sandstones, with coa COAL-MEASURES { and ironstone; plants abundant; 514 feet. ‘Reddish, purple and grey grit, sandstone and PRE-CARBONIFEROUS 3 2 micaceous quartzite ; 19 feet. The interest attaches to the beds called ‘ pre-Carboniferous.’ They consist of . sandstones, grits, and quartzites, of purple and yellowish tints, occasionally shaly. They contrast strongly with the Coal-measures, not only in the absence of beds of coal, grey and black shale and ironstone, but also in the complete absence of plant _ Temains with which the overlying Coal-measures are crowded; not one solitary 746 REPORT—-1893. instance of any plant-form having been found amongst all the cores after careful examination. It became clear that the beds were not of Carboniferous age, yet it was very difficult to determine with certainty to what period they were to be referred. Such sandstones, grits, and quartzites might be found in several pre- Carboniferous formations, either the Old Red Sandstone, the Upper Silurian, Lower Silurian (Ordovician),or Cambrian. A reference to the Old Red Sandstone was con- sidered out of the question, as this formation is not found anywhere in this part of England; nor did it seem probable that they were referable to the Upper or Lower Silurian period, though this is possible. On the other hand, we cannot forget that at no great distance to the south of the boring the Lower Cambrian beds form the floor of the Coal-measures, and, although the cores at Netherseal boring do not show a very strong resemblance to those of the Hartshill ridge, there is no good reason why they may not be referable to the same general period, and con- sist of beds not visible in that locality. For these reasons I am disposed with some hesitation to regard them as of Lower Cambrian age; a view in which I am supported by Professor Lapworth, who was kind enough to examine the specimens of the cores which I brought away with me from Netherseal Colliery. I will only add that no conclusion could be gathered regarding the question of unconformity of these beds with the overlying Coal-measures, as the dip of both series appeared to be very slight. A strong discordance could have been immediately detected. Since the above was written No. 2 boring has entered these old rocks, and the specimens brought up confirm the conclusion arrived at from the results of boring No. 1. The rock entered at a depth of about 760 feet consists of reddish vitreous quartzite, slightly micaceous, and very similar to the Hartshill stone of ‘Warwickshire. 4, On the Geology of the Coastland of Caria. By Joun L. Myres. The interior of Caria, so far as it has been explored, presents only thick bedded blue and grey limestones of Cretaceous age, lying almost horizontally, and forming great plateaus with steep sea-slopes, the natural drainage falling partly into deep gorges, partly into the frequent swallow-holes. In the peninsula, however, which projects westward beyond Budrum (the ancient Halikarnassos) the occurrence of a volcanic series, both below and above the thick limestones, causes a complete change in the character of the country. The ‘fundamental’ beds of this area are light-coloured crystalline quartzose and felspathic rocks, which are interbanded with one another, and present occasion- ally traces of foliation. The dips are almost universally to the east, and rise in some places to the vertical, but are not wholly pre-Cretaceous. The age of these beds is quite undetermined, but they may probably be correlated with the very similar beds in Patmos, and with those which underlie the thick limestones in the eastern half of the peninsula of Kavo Krio further south, and the white marble series which represents them in Naxos, Attica, and elsewhere. These beds are traversed, as in Patmos and Naxos, by numerous necks and dykes of very various composition. Two or three types, however, may be distin- guished, and appear to represent successive periods of volcanic action. In par- ticular, a purple porphyritic rock which is especially common in the neighbourhood of Gumashli (ancient Myndos), on the west coast, occurs as the main constituent in an altered tuff, underlying the basal schists of the limestone series, in which several other common types are not represented. The pre-Cretaceous volcanic outbreak was not yet over when thegreat subsidence began at the opening of the Limestone period ; for the last deposits of débris on the flanks of the old land-mass have a distinctly subaqueous character, and are immediately succeeded by fine clays and schists at the base of the great limestones. The lower part of this series is in this region unusually full of thin sandy beds, and it contains also a number of bands of black chert in the parts east of Budrum. The higher beds, however, are cleaner, and conform to the more normal type represented in the neighbouring areas of Kavo Krio, Kos, and Kalymnos. One small outlier in the middle of the volcanic area has been wholly metamorphosed TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 747 into a coarsely crystalline and very clean white marble, strikingly like that of Naxos; anda large area east of Budrum shows signs of similar but less complete metamorphism. The basal sands and clays are in all cases much more altered than the limestones associated with them. At the end of the Limestone period a prolonged elevation allowed of the erosion of the principal existing features of the Carian coastland ; so that the Tertiary beds which cling about the slopes of the limestones and older rocks have all a littoral character, which is maintained in the eastern part of Kos; though in the central plain of that island deep-water limestones of some thickness occur. This series consists of a basal breccia of limestone and fragments of crystalline rocks, followed by sandstones and schistose clays, and then by thin-bedded cream-coloured clayey limestones of the normal type. All these are locally altered where they come in contact with rocks of the later volcanic series. In the absence of fossils these beds can only be roughly correlated with the very similar rocks in Rhodes and Crete to the south, and of Samos, Chios, and the mainland opposite to the north. Above this normal series occurs a thick but very irregular accumulation of volcanic débris, which can be associated with a second series of necks and dykes in the old rocks. The limestone appears to have been largely denuded from the western half of the peninsula before the outbreak took place; but boulders of it occur in a very perplexing, mainly volcanic, breccia near Gumashli. A very marked local variety of this volcanic series on the coast between Gumashli and Geretsi supplied in classical and mediwval times an admirable peperino for building purposes, which is still occasionally worked. The latest beds found in this area are almost wholly composed of pumice, and may be referred to the very recent volcanic centres in Kos and Nisyros. They fill several small bays in the penin- sulas of Budrum and Kayo Krio, are well developed on the shores of Porto Kalymno, and fringe the steep south-east shore of Kos, over against Nisyros, where they contain larger fragments, and are associated with limestone. They are almost always level; cliff breccias seldom occur more than twenty or thirty feet above the sea-level, and are probably of very recent date. It may be noted in conclusion that the argentiferous galena, which was worked so largely in classical and medieval times at Gumashli (the Turkish name means ‘Silver Town’), is still found frequently, and of good quality, in the old rocks of the neighbourhood. Many good veins of pyrolusite have lately been reported _ in the same series near Gumashli and Kephaloucha, and a cobalt mineral, not yet assayed, is found in workable quantities at the latter place. 5.

Traquair, F’.R.S. _ The author described a new species of Cephalaspis (C. magnifica, Traq.), from Spittal Pavement Quarry, Caithness, resembling C. Campbelltownensis, Whiteaves, in having a pointed snout, but differing from it in having the cornua proportion- ately short and broad-based, instead of slender and curved ; the cranial shield is ornamented externally by a very fine tuberculation, and the inner margins of the cornua are not denticulated. This is the first recorded occurrence of Cephalaspis in the Orcadian area of the Old Red Sandstone north of the Grampians, and the species is the largest known, the length of the cranial shield being no less than 8} inches. 7.

Ou some Vertebrate Remains not hitherto recorded from the Rhetic Beds of Britain, By Montacue Browns, F.G.S., £.Z.8. Plesiosaurus rostratus, Owen.! In the autumn of 1890, when visiting Aust Cliff for a day, the writer found some interesting vertebrate remains in the celebrated Rheetic ‘bone-bed’ there. Amongst others was a large tooth which there was little difficulty in referring to the so-called Termatosaurus alberti, a description of which, with figures, was pub- lished by Plieninger * in 1844, and by Quenstedt* in 1858. This type of tooth has been queried subsequently, indeed, by Quenstedt himself,‘ as pertaining to a Plesio- saurus, but the species has never been determined. Since 1890 the Rhetics of Aust Cliff, of Westbury-on-Severn, and of the Spinney Hills, Leicester, have yielded to the writer teeth of the same character, and he has recognised similar specimens, either unreferred or attributed to Termatosaurus albertii, in the British, Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Gloucester, and Leicester Museums, the Museum of Prac- tical Geology, Jermyn Street, and some from the Rhetics of Stanton-on-the- Wolds, Nottinghamshire, collected by Mr. E. Wilson, F.G.S. During a visit to the Geological Department at South Kensington the writer succeeded in referring them, with some certainty, to Plestosaurus rostratus, and considered that, could some vertebre of the same Plesiosaurian be found, this would furnish corroborative evidence. On a second and third visit to Aust, there- fore (in 1891—-92)—hoth of several weeks’ duration—no pains were spared in search- ing for vertebrze, with the result that several specimens were procured: and since that time many have been acquired, by purchase and presentation, from the same beds, and others have been recognised as Rhewtic specimens in the British, Bristol, and Gloucester Museums ; whilst subsequent visits to the British Museum, and an examination of the whole of the vertebra there definitely assigned to Plestosaurus rostratus, have resulted in the conviction that the Rheetic Plesiosaurian vertebrae are specifically identical. It is noteworthy also that one of the specimens in the writer's possession—a cervical vertebra —might have been used for the figure given by Owen® on tab. x. fig. 1, and the description tallies well, especially on p. 23, where is stated the fact, patent on all the Rheetic specimens possessed or seen by the writer, that ‘the fore surface of the centrum presents a slightly fibrous character, not so smooth as in some other species, nor so irregular as in the Plesio- saurus rugosus, for example;’ and again, on pp. 24, 25, ‘The sides of the neural spines of these vertebrae are roughened by irregular or granulate ridges, directed toward their summit, which is bent backward.’ Another agrees exactly with No. 39849 British Museum specimen labelled Exetmosaurus rugosus, but which has oie shown ° to be a vertebra of Plesiosawrus rostratus from the Lias of Lyme egis. The specific determination of this Plesiosaurus (hitherto recognised only as Liassic) is a new record altogether for the Rhetic throughout the world, its yerte- bree having hitherto been referred generically only, and its teeth having been recorded as Termatosaurus albertii, Plieninger, and Plesiosaurus sp. non det. The synonymy, therefore, will be as follows :— 1 A Monograph of the Fossil Reptilia of the Liassic Formations, part iii. (Paleon- tographical Society, 1865), pp. 20-30, plates ix.-xiii. Note, however, that part of the description between pp. 26-30 refers to Plesiosawrus conybcarei [-ri] (Sollas), as does the whole of the plate (skull), tab. xiii. (see R.

Teeth similar to those described and figured by Quenstedt! under the above name, and not hitherto recognised as such in Britain, have been procured by the writer from the Rheetics of Aust Cliff, Westbury-on-Severn, and the Spinney Hills, Leicester, and others have been recognised by him in the collections in the British, Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Gloucester, and Leicester Museums, in the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, and some collected by Mr. Wilson from Stanton- on-the-Wolds. ‘ These recall the characters of an Ichthyosaurian tooth of the platyodont type, and, indeed, are recorded by Mr. Wilson” as Ichthyosaurus platyodon ; yet a close comparison of the tooth with that of Ichthyosaurus, and with those of Rhetic Laby- rinthodontia, leads to the conclusion that it is to the latter (sp. ind.) they must be assigned. In this connection the writer, having probably a larger amount of such material at his disposal than is elsewhere known, is convinced that teeth of various species of Saurichthys, Ag.,°> and other authors will have to be divided between the Labyrinthodontia and various species of fishes, being, probably, called Saurichthys erroneously. Ceratodus (? latissimus), Ag. In 1890 the writer found a small bone, which, having somewhat the texture and appearance of a Ceratodus tooth, was labelled as probably pertaining to Ceratodus ; but on the second visit, in 1891, more and larger pieces were found of the same nature, but which, having the appearance of plates of the ichthyie skull, were pro- visionally referred to Ceratodus. One was shown to Mr. A. Smith Woodward, F.G.8., F.Z.S., who concurred in this opinion, at the same time calling attention to a recent memoir upon the skull of a Ceratodus by F. Teller. On comparison with the description and plates, it now appears that some of these bones are the median and other plates of the skull of Ceratodus; and although, no doubt, they have been collected before, and in one instance within the writer’s knowledge attributed to Mastodonsaurus jegert,® a Labyrinthodont, yet this is the first instance in which such specimens haye been definitely referrred ; consequently this will be a new record for the Rhetic of Britain. Some of the teeth of Ceratodus, collected in 1891 and 1892, are interesting as having, in the case of the mandibular teeth, parts of the splenial attached, and in the palatal teeth parts of the palato-pterygoid. 9. Note on a Fault at Oinder Hill. By Grorce Fowter, M.Inst.C.H., F.G.S. The underground observation of faults which are visible on the surface, and are thus familiarly known, affords points of vantage for the elucidation of various facts in connection with them, which mere surface examination cannot afford. It has been the author’s good fortune to trace below ground a series of ‘faults,’ of 1 Der Jura, p. 33, and atlas, tab. ii. 2 «The Rheetics of Nottinghamshire,’ Q. J. G.

There are three points in connection with this series of ‘ faults’ which may be especially interesting to this Association, and which were illustrated on the section displayed on the screen. f The first point of interest is that whilst the ‘throw’ of the ‘fault’ in the Per- mian rocks at the surface only amounts to 76 feet, in the Coal Measures below the ‘throw’ amounts to 340 feet, a very much larger amount; and this shows that there was an enormous movement prior to the deposition of the Permian strata, and that there was a further small movement on the same lines after the deposi- tion of the Permians. Both these movements took place when the rocks which they affected had obtained their full degree of induration, and it is obvious that the interval which elapsed between the two movements must have marked a long period of geological time. The second point which is noticeable about this series of ‘faults’ is the great lateral movement of which it gives evidence. Whilst the ‘throw’ of the ‘fault’ on the slide or hade amounts to 340 feet, and the vertical displacement amounts to 210 feet, the horizontal movement amounts to 270 feet, showing enormous lateral movement. A third point may also be noticed, whichis, that the main fault, though a large one, practically makes no difference in the position of the zone of strata through which it cuts. If the coal seam on the left of the section shown be continued at its normal dip across the faulted ground, the position of the large ‘ fault,’ it was seen that it practically meets the coal on the upcast or eastern side of that ‘throw.’ The rapid dip of the strata on the westward of the ‘fault’ line is thus merely the slipping of the different beds along the fractural edge of the fault, owing to the horizontal movement already indicated; and the fractures, the alterations in inclination, are the result mainly of horizontal and not of vertical movements. 10. On the Base of the Cambrian in Wales. By H. Hicxs, M.D., PD Toos ta. If there is, as has been maintained by the author and others, a very marked unconformity at the base of the rocks usually classed as Cambrian in Wales, the evidence furnished by an examination of those basal beds which indicate shore condition is of the utmost importance. ‘The author, therefore, in this paper gives a summary of the results bearing on this question which he has obtained in his examinations of these rocks in Wales. PEMBROKESHIRE. St. David's.—The basal beds are exposed on the north and south sides of the pre-Cambrian Axis. _Wiere faults do not intervene the lowest beds are rough conglomerates from 60 to 150 feet in thickness, in which pebbles over a foot in diameter are very frequently met with. The matrix and pebbles vary constantly, as they rest on different parts of the pre-Cambrian Axis, and there is the clearest evidence of an unconformity between the conglomerates and the highest beds of the Pebidian exposed in this area. The overlying beds, which are grits and sand- stones, are ripple-marked, and show other proofs of having been deposited in shallow shore-water. The author has recently re-examined the basal beds in this area, and has accumulated additional evidence in support of the above view. Ramsey Island.—The Cambrian conglomerates here rest on pre-Cambrian felstones and breccias. The pebbles are mainly well-rolled fragments of felstones cemented together by a felsitic matrix. Pebbles of quartzite and other materials are occasionally found, but the main amount of the material was undoubtedly derived from the rocks immediately underlying the conglomerates. The under- lying rocks had undergone the marked changes now visible in them before the fragments in the conglomerates had been broken off. ‘a ae as are TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION Cc. 75) Trefgarn.—The pre-Cambrian rocks in this area are mainly felstones of a peculiar type and volcanic ash, The conglomerates which repose on these rocks contain pebbles of large size, and have been proved by microscopical examination to be identical in character with the rocks on whose eroded surface they repose. Here again the marked similarity in the minutest particulars between the rolled fragments and the underlying rocks proves indisputably that the peculiar changes which these rocks have undergone must have taken place before the fragments were broken off, therefore in pre-Cambrian times. MERIONETHSHIRE. Harlech Mountain.—Near the centre of the well-known anticlinal of Cambrian rocks in the Harlech Mountain there are conglomerates exposed which contain fragments of granitoid rocks, felstones, &c., in addition to pebbles of quartzites and quartz, and it is clear that they are, though not actually at the base, yet very near the base of the Cambrian rocks of that area. The most important con- glomerates, however, in this district are those which were discovered by Professor Hughes and the author on the east side of the Trawsfynnydd Road, between Cae Cochion and Penmaen. Here they are seen resting unconformably upon an older series of rocks, and large fragments of the latter occur plentifully in the con- glomerates. ANGLESEY, AND CAERNARVONSHIRE. As Sir A. Geikie has recently admitted that many of the rocks in Anglesey, coloured on the Geological Survey Map of that island as ‘altered Cambrian (and partly Silurian),’ are ‘undoubtedly far older than at least any of the Cambrian rocks of Anglesey or Carnarvonshire,’ the evidence furnished by the basal beds where they rest on these rocks is highly important. The author was the first to point out, in a paper read before the British Association in 1879, that the patch near the centre of Anglesey coloured as ‘intrusive granite chiefly of Lower Silurian age’ contained within its boundary rocks of pre-Cambrian age, and evidently the oldest rocks in the island. (The rocks in this patch Sir A. Geilkie now says appear to him to be ‘unquestionably Archean.’) In the year 1884 the author further showed that the Cambrian conglomerates near Llanfaelog contained large pebbles of granitoid and other rocks, which, on microscopical examination, proved to be identical with rocks ¢m situ in their immediate neighbourhood. Professor Hughes has shown by fossil evidence that the beds which overlie the conglomerates near Llanerchymedd are of Upper Cambrian age, and, as these are separated by faults from the conglomerates and grits, it is clearly justifiable to classify these beds as the basal beds of the Cambrian in that area. The basal Cambrian beds near Beaumaris furnish equally convincing proofs of proximity to a shore-line composed of pre-Cambrian schists and felsitic rocks. Bangor and Caernarvon.—The basal beds at and near Caernarvon described by Professor Hughes show clearly that they must have been deposited along a shore- line where granitoid and felsitic rocks were undergoing denudation, and the absence there of the usual thickness of overlying Cambrian rocks is due, the author believes, mainly to faults, but in part also to the unevenness of the pre-Cambrian land sur- face. There is much evidence in the various areas to show that the pre-Cambrian land surface was very irregular in character, and that the Cambrian sediments were accumulated along fairly well-defined lines of depression. Bethesda, Llyn Padarn, and Moel Tryfaen.—The basal beds of the Cambrian in these areas, where not removed by faults, are also conglomerates, and the frag- ments in the conglomerates are mainly such as would be derived by denudation from the ridge of rocks in the neighbourhood which had been claimed by the author and Professor Hughes as of pre-Cambrian age. These views, put forward in the year 1877, were not accepted by the chiefs of the Geological Survey; but in the year 1891, in his anniversary address to the Geological Society, Sir A. Geikie admitted that the rocks in this ridge, ‘ variously termed quartz porphyries, felsites, and rhyolites,’ were not intrusive in the Cambrian rocks, but ‘the oldest 752 REPORT— 1893. members of the volcanic series, and that ‘there is no true passage of the sedi- mentary rocks into it; on the contrary, the conglomerates which abut against it are in great part made out of its fragments, so that it must have been already in existence before these Cambrian strata were deposited.’ The grits and slates which overlie the conglomerates in these areas have always been classed by the Geological Survey as the Lowest Cambrian ; therefore any attempt to extend the term Cambrian so that it might include the much older rocks which the surveyors had incorrectly marked as intrusive, and ‘ chiefly of Lower Silurian age,’ the author thinks is unwarrantable. The error which caused the surveyors to class other pre-Cambrian rocks as ‘altered Cambrian’ equally renders it impossible to group these with the Cambrian, especially as in no instance has it been shown that the so-called ‘ altered Cambrian rocks’ have their equivalents amongst the unaltered Cambrian rocks of the Survey. Moreover, it is certain that there is a marked unconformity at the base of the Cambrian (unaltered Cambrian of the Survey) in all the areas in Wales where the beds are seen to rest on the rocks classed by the author and others as of pre-Cambrian age. 11. On the Reptilia of the British Trias. By EK. T, Newton, F.B.S8. This communication is a review of our knowledge of the reptiles which have been recorded from the Triassic strata of Britain. In the first place attention is called to the teeth from Durdham Down, Bristol, described by Riley and Stutch- bury in 1826 under the generic names of Paleosaurus and Thecodontosaurus, which, with additional specimens, were further described by Professor Huxley in 1869, he regarding them both as dinosaurian. The two genera are distinguished by the form of their teeth. Closely allied to Pal@osaurus is the tooth described by Murchison and Strickland in 1837 as Megalosaurus, but subsequently named Cladyodon by Owen. Another and still larger tooth, from the same neighbour- hood, has been referred hy Professor Huxley to Teratosawrus (= Zanclodon) : it is very similar to that of Cladyodon, but is more compressed, and has both anterior and posterior edges serrated to the base. Rhynchosaurus articeps, from the Keuper of Grinshill, Shropshire, was described by Owen in 1841 from a skull, but was further illustrated by additional specimens, including other parts of the skeleton, described by Professor Huxley in 1887. This form, which is allied to the recent Sphenodon, is also near to the Hyperodapedon, remains of which have been found in the Elgin Sandstone and also in the Trias of Warwick and Devon. -Hyperodapedon was made known by Professor Huxley in 1858, but first described it in 1869, and more fully in 1887 from a fine example now preserved in the British Museum. Telerpeton Elginense, the celebrated lizard of the Elgin Sandstone, was found in 1850 by Mr. Patrick Duff, and described by Dr. Mantell in 1851 as having amphibian affinities. Additional examples were, however, described by Professor Huxley in 1867, who showed that its affinities were with the lacertilia, and not with the amphibia. Telerpeton is probably closely related to the living Sphenodon. Stagonolepis Robertsoni was really the first reptile found in the Elgin Sandstone ; aseries of scutes from Lossiemouth being thus named by Agassiz just fifty years ago (1843), but were thought by him to be the scales of a fish. The reptilian nature of this fossil was shown by Professor Huxley in 1858, and more abundant material has been described by the same writer in 1875 and 1877, which has established the crocodilian affinities of this Triassic reptile. Dasygnathus longidens is the name suggested by Professor Huxley for a jaw with long teeth from the Elgin Sandstone, which had at first been referred to Stagonoleyis. This form Professor Huxley thought might be dinosaurian, but additional information is much wanted to establish its true affinities. ‘The dicynodont remains, noticed by the present writer at the meeting of this Association last year at Edinburgh, have now been worked out, and the results, fully illustrated, will shortly appear in the ‘Phil. Trans.’ of the Royal Society. Four forms nearly allied to Dicynodon haye been named Gordonia Traquairi, TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. ‘oe -G, Huxleyana, G. Dufiana, and G. Juddiana, Another dicynodont more nearly related to the Ptychognathus of Owen, but with a short muzzle and no teeth, has been named Getkia Elginensis. The peculiar horned reptile, resembling the Moloch lizard, but apparently most nearly related to the South African Pareiasawrus, has been named Elginia mirabilis. Work among the Elgin reptiles is still going on, and two entirely new forms are now made known for the first time. One of these was found by Mr. James Grant, of Lossiemouth; and, although the exact locality is uncertain, there is no doubt as to its being from the sandstone of the Elgin area. This specimen, which includes the skull (about three inches long) and the front part of the trunk, is evi- dently related to Stagonolepis. The second new form was obtained by the Rev. Dr. Gordon from the Elgin Sandstone of Spynie Quarry, and will eventually be preserved in the British Museum. With the exception of the fore limbs and neck, nearly the whole of the skeleton has been preserved. Much of the skull has been very successfully cleared from the matrix by Mr. Richard Hall, of the British Museum, and was exhibited at a soirée of the Royal Society, when its resemblance to Aétosaurus was pointed out by Mr. Arthur Smith Woodward. This reptile is of much interest, as it seems to be aform intermediate between the crocodiles and dinosaurs, being, apparently, related on the one hand to the Parasuchia and on the other to the theropodous dinosaurs. The skull is, in fact, that of a miniature megalosaur. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. The following Papers and Reports were read :— 1. A joint Discussion with Section E on the Limits of Geology and Geography took place. (See p. 834.) 2. The Dissected Voleano of Crandall Basin, Wyoming. By Professor JosppH Paxson Ipprnas. The writer in exploring the north-eastern corner of the Yellowstone National Park and the country east of it came upon evidences of a great voleano which had been eroded in such a manner as to expose the geological structure of its basal ortion. ; The work was carried on as a part of the survey of this region under the charge of Mr. Arnold Hague, of the United States Geological Survey. This paper is an extract from a chapter in the final report on the Yellowstone National Park in pro- cess of completion, and the writer is indebted to Major J. W. Powell, Director of the Survey, and to Mr. Hague, chief of the division, for permission to present it at this time in anticipation of the publication of the final report. The area of volcanic rocks described is but a small portion of the great belt of igneous material that forms the mountains of the Absaroka range, lying along the eastern margin of the Yellowstone Park. The volcano of Crandall Basin is one of a chain of volcanic centres situated along the northern and eastern borders of the Yellowstone Park, which are all distinguished by a greater or less development of radiating dikes, and by a crystalline core eroded to a variable extent. The Palzeozoic and Mesozoic strata which formed an almost continuous series to the coal-bearing Laramie had been greatly disturbed, and almost completely eroded in places, before the volcanic ejectamenta in this vicinity were thrown upon = The period of their eruption is therefore post-Laramie, presumably early ertiary. The first eruptions of andesite were followed by those of basalt in great quan- tities, and these by others of andesite and basalt like the first. This was succeeded 1893. 3¢ 754 rErORT— 1893. by a period of extensive erosion, reducing the country to nearly its present form. Then came the eruption of a vast flood of rhyolite constituting the Park plateau, which was followed in this region by smaller outbreaks of basalt. The last phase of volcanic activity is found in the geysers and fumaroles which haye rendered the region famous. The voleano of Crandall Basin consists chiefly of the first series of basic ande- sites and basalts. The earliest acid andesite which occurs beneath these rocks appears to be the remnant of eruptions from neighbouring centres. Nothing remains of the original outline of the voleano. The district is now covered by systems of valleys and ridges of mountain peaks that rise 2,000 to 5,000 feet above the valley bottoms. The geological structure of the country, however, makes its original character evident. The outlying portions of the district to the south, west, and north consist of nearly horizontally bedded tuffs and subaérial breccias of basic andesite and basalt. With these are intercalated some massive lava flows, which are scarce in the lower parts of the breccia, but predominate in the highest parts above an altitude of 10,000 feet. Here they constitute the summits of the highest peaks. In contrast to the well-bedded breccias around the margin of the district the central portion consists of chaotic and orderless accumulations of scoriaceous breccia with some massive flows. These breccias carry larger fragments of rock and exhibit greater uniformity in petrographical character. A still more noticeable feature of the central portion of the district is the occurrence of dikes, which form prominent walls, and may be traced for long dis- tances across the country. The greater number of them are found to converge toward a centre in the highest ridge in the middle of the drainage basin of Crandall Creek. A small number converge towards a second centre three or four miles east of the first. In the southern part of the district there are many dikes trending towards a centre near the head of Sunlight Basin, about fifteen miles south of the Crandall centre. The centre towards which the Crandall dikes converge is a large body of granular gabbro graduating into diorite. It is about a mile wide, and consists of numerous intrusions penetrating one another, and extending out into the sur- rounding breccia, which is highly indurated and metamorpbosed in the immediate vicinity of the core. Within the area of indurated breccia the dike rocks become rapidly coarser-grained as they approach the gabbro core. ‘This was undoubtedly the central conduit of an ancient volcano, the upper portion of which has been eroded away. Upon comparing the geological structure of this region with that of an active voleano like Etna it is apparent that the lava flows which form the summits of the outlying peaks must have been derived from lateral cones fed by dikes radiating from the central conduit ; and assuming that the volcano of Crandall Basin was similar in type to that of Etna, an idea of its original proportions is derived by constructing upon profile sections through the Crandall core the outline of Etna. Ifthe erosion of the summits of the highest peaks is neglected the resulting height of the ancient volcano above the limestone floor is estimated at 13,400 feet. Thisis undoubtedly too low, and is well within the limits of present active volcanoes. Erosion has removed at least 10,000 feet from the summit of the mountain to the top of the high central ridge in which the granular core is situated, and has cut 4,000 feet deeper into the valleys on either side. It has prepared for study a dissected volcano, which, it is hoped, will in time reveal some of the obscurer relationships existing between various phases of igneous rocks. 3. On Structures in Eruptive Bosses which resemble those of ancient Gneisses. By Sir Arcuipatp Gerxis, F.R.S. While it is now the general belief of geologists that the older granitoid and banded gneisses were originally eruptive masses, considerable difference of opinion exists as to the cause of the peculiar and characteristic structure which distin- guishes gneiss from ordinary amorphous eruptive material. The pregnant sugges- a TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 755 tion of Lehmann that this structure is essentially due to mechanical deformation has been widely accepted, and has undoubtedly been of great service in the inves- tigations of the last ten years among pre-Cambrian rocks. That the foliation of many gneisses has arisen from the effects of enormous compression can no longer be disputed. But among these rocks other structures occur which cannot be satisfactorily so explained. In the granulitic gneisses, where the folia are thin, and where over considerable spaces a marked uniformity of lithological character prevails, crushing and recrystallisation have no doubt played a chief part in the production of the gneissic structure. But in the coarsely banded varieties, where thick layers of different chemical and mineralogical composition alternate irregularly with each other, mechanical deformation seems to be wholly inadequate to account for this arrangement. The author stated that he had pointed out some years ago that a close analogy might be traced between this banded character and certain structures to be observed in the deeper portions of large intrusive bosses. He had since then had opportunities of repeating and extending his observations, which had led him to the belief that the coarsely banded arrangement in the ancient gneisses was not due to any subsequent crushing and recrystallisation, but was a structure developed in the original, massive, or eruptive rock before its final consolidation. In the deeper-seated parts of intrusive bosses he had noticed that the component minerals had sometimes been segregated in parallel bands, each of which was marked by the predominance of one of them, and that the minerals had there crystallised in much larger forms than in the main body of the rock. Layers of felspar, pyroxene, olivine, and iron ores had in this way been separated out, and could be traced in alternate parallel bands for distances of many yards, sometimes even exhibiting puckered, folded, and inverted structures. Such segregations were so like the hornblendic, felspathic, quartzose, and pyroxenic bands of many gneisses that the observer could hardly at first believe that they were not portions of some ancient rock enclosed within the eruptive boss. He could soon convince himself, however, that they were really integral parts of the general mass, Not only is the banded structure of the gneisses perfectly reproduced in the bosses, but another equally characteristic structure, that of the pegmatite veins, is likewise simulated. Occasionally veins of this nature composed of the same minerals as the boss, but aggregated in different proportions, may be seen, not only in the main amorphous mass of the rock, but even traversing the segregated bands. So closely does this association of structures resemble that of the old gneisses as to impress the convic- tion on the observer that it probably represents the origin of some of the most conspicuous features in these rocks. Illustrations of the structures described may be found in eruptive bosses of Paleozoic age, but the best examples which the _ author has seen occur among the Tertiary gabbros of the Western Isles. 4, On the Pittings in Pebbles from the Trias. By Professor W. J. Sottas, D.Sc., F.R.S. The singular indentations in the pebbles of the pebble beds of the Trias have been variously attributed to solution and pressure, and in limestone pebbles Sorby has conclusively shown how both have shared in their formation. No one, how- ever, appears to have suggested the influence of slight movements as a powerful adjunct to pressure; and yet earth tremors are of such constant occurrence that slight movements must exist. How great may be the influence of these is proved by the incised bones of the great Irish deer, which have made sharp and deep cuts into each other wherever they have happened to lie in contact, and this although only under the pressure of a peat bog. Still better illustrations are afforded by some pebbles, to which my attention has been directed by my colleague Mr. MacHenry. These are from an ancient beach over which the tram line passes at Tritonville, Sandymount: they are covered with impressions essentially similar to those on the Trias pebbles, a result of the perpetual jarring produced by the pass- ing trams. It is obvious that under the great pressure to which the Trias pebble beds have been exposed the slightest trembling at points of contact would produce similar or even more marked effects, 8c2 756 REPORT—1893. 5. On Bones and Antlers of Cervus giganteus incised and marked by Mutual Attrition while buried in Bogs or Marl. By V. Batt, C.B., LL.D., F.B.S. From time to time bones and antlers of this extinct deer have been found with peculiar cuts and marks upon them, which have suggested to some observers the work of man; careful examination has shown, however, that these cuts and polished and indented surfaces are all really due to the same cause, namely, the sawing or rubbing together of bones and antlers as they lay in contact while em- bedded in marl underlying peat. We cannot say with any degree of certainty what the cause of the movement may have been. It may perhaps have been due to alternate expansion and contraction, up and down, according to the amount of moisture in the bog; possibly, however, it was connected with earth-tremors, the origin and extent of which cannot be so easily explained. The several finds of these cut bones, of which examples were exhibited to the Section, were made at Legan, five miles south of Edgeworthstown, Co. Longford ; and on the left bank of the river Camoge, one mile from Lough Gur, and close to Kilcullen House, Co. Limerick. In the former case, which was described by Professor Jukes in the year 1863, the bones lay in shell marl 2 or 3 feet thick, resting on blue clay (drift) and covered by 16 feet of peat; but originally, before being cut, the peat had been 50 feet thick at this spot. In the Lough Gur locality, which is described by Dr. Carte, the mode of occurrence of the bones was similar. 6. On a Mass of Cemented Shells dredged from the Sea Bed. By Professor W. H. Herpmay, F.R.S8. 7. Note to accompany the Exhibition of a Geological Map of India. By R. D. Oupuam, A.R.S.M., F.G.S., of the Geological Survey of India. Two maps are exhibited, on the scales of 96 and 32 miles to the inch respectively. The smaller is a chromo-lithograph, and will be published shortly with the second edition of that portion of the ‘Manual of the Geology of India’ which deals with the stratigraphical and structural geology of the Empire. The larger is a manuscript map representing in greater detail the state of our know- ledge of Indian geology at the end of 1892. It is well known that the Indian Empire is divisible into three geological regions, which are recognised as (1) the Peninsular, (2) the extra-Peninsular, and, separating them, (3) the Indo-Gangetic alluvium. It is in the extra-Peninsular region that most of the additions to our know- ledge of Indian geology have been made since the publication of a general map with the first edition of the ‘ Manual of the Geology of India.’ The most important of these additions, so far as the area coloured goes, are in Upper Burma and the country explored by my colleague Mr. Griesbach while attached to the Afghan Boundary Commission; but, besides actual additions to the coloured area, great additions have been made to our knowledge of the stratigraphy and correlation of the rocks within the area which was coloured on the previous map. Among the most important stratigraphical features of the extra-Peninsular area may be ranked the fine development, and abundant fossils, of the Lower Trias of the Central Himalayas; the rich fauna of this period, very scantily represented in Europe, is now under description, and the publication of the results must be looked forward to as an important addition to geological knowledge. Another feature is the very fine development of Cretaceous and Tertiary beds on the western frontier, and here the main stratigraphical break is not between the Cretaceous and Tertiary, but at the base of the Lower Cretaceous of accepted chronology. Structurally the most important feature of the extra-Peninsular area is the great disturbance the beds have undergone, a disturbance which has taken place ——wE—— Lx“ I TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 757 rincipally within the Tertiary era, and mainly within the latter half of it. In fact, none of the mountains which bound the Indian Empire appear to have existed in anything like their present form or size at the commencement of the Tertiary era. The Indo-Gangetic alluvium occupies a zone of depression formed entirely within the Tertiary era concomitantly with the elevation of the extra-Peninsular ranges. The surface deposits are all Recent or Pleistocene in age, but the occur- - rence of extinct mammals in the alluvium of the Jumna, some of which are identical with those of the uppermost Siwalik beds, points to an Upper Tertiary age of the deeper seated deposits of the Gangetic alluvium, whose thickness has been proved to reach 1,300 feet under Lucknow. The Peninsular area differs from the extra-Peninsular in having been dry land since the close of the Paleozoic era, and in the very small amount of disturbance the rocks have undergone during this period. Two of its main geographical features appear to be of very ancient date. On the north-west the Aravalli range of the present day is the mere wreck of a mountain range whose elevation was completed in the Vindhyan period ; the exact age of this system cannot be deter- mined, as no fossils have been found in it, but it is certainly pre-Carboniferous, though probably not much older than Devonian. On the east the present coast- line appears to have been approximately determined about the same period, and the manner in which the small patches of marine deposits found on the east coast thin out against the older rocks shows that throughout the Secondary era the sea could never have extended much west of the present coast, though dry land may at times have extended further to the east. The west coast appears to be of much more recent origin. Throughout the Secondary era there seems to have been a more or less continuous land connection between Southern India and South Africa; at the close of the Secondary era, however, this was broken up, the present west coast defined, and the range of the Western Ghats elevated. ‘he paleontological evidence of the former connection between India and Africa is very complete, and, besides this, there is a very re- markable analogy between the geology of the two regions. The Karoo series of the interior of South Africa and the Uitenhage series of the coast are represented in India physically, stratigraphically, and paleeontologically by the Gondwanas of the interior of the Peninsula and the Upper Gondwana outliers of the east coast. So far reference has only been made to the most important features of what is - known, and it will be well now to point out briefly what has still to be done. . Within the thoroughly settled districts of the Peninsula large areas have been left uncoloured because absolutely nothing is known of them, and even in the area which has been coloured much remains to be done. The vast area coloured with one uniform tint of pink contains many varieties of rock, and at least two—probably many more—successive systems of deposits, besides intrusive and eruptive rocks of the most diverse kinds. The succession and correlation of the various rock systems which are classed as Transition, Cuddapah, and Vindhyan have yet to be esta- blished; while the relation between the Upper and Lower Gondwana beds and the proper classification of this great series of river deposits, ranging in age from Car- boniferous to Cretaceous, have still to be worked out. In the extra-Peninsular area the Himalayas have much information to yield, especially as regards the zonal distribution of the Siwalik fauna, and the sequence and correlation of the great series of as yet unfossiliferous slates and limestones of the North-west Himalayas. On the east our newly-acquired province of Burma, besides almost the whole of Assam, has to be surveyed, and the very fine series of Tertiary rocks and the economically important mineral deposits have to be examined in detail. If fact, the most pressing need of the immediate future is not so much the exploration and imperfect examination of new regions as the completion and filling up of gaps in our knowledge of the geology of the land which lies within our frontier. 758 REPORT—1893. 8. Geological Sketch of Central East Africa. By Watcor Grsson, F.G.S. The tract of country described in this paper is situated in Equatorial Hast Africa. It extends from the coast inland to the N.W. borders of Victoria Wyanza. The small island of Mombasa, the starting-point of the expedition, lies fifty miles north of the island of Pemba. A narrow creek, fordable at low water, separates the island from the mainland. . The sea cliffs are composed of coral rock, which also forms an inland belt about two miles broad, with a general elevation of 50 feet, which sometimes rises to 100 feet. A fringing reef borders the coast. The shore sand consists of comminuted corals and shells mixed with rounded fragments of quartz, orthoclase, garnets, and splinters of clear blue cyanite. These constituents appear to be derived from a submerged ridge, of which the Seychelles Islands are a remnant. Tke coral rock rests on a sedimentary series consisting of shales, limestones, flaggy sandstones, grits, and conglomerates in descending order. The beds dip gently to the east. They extend inland to the borders of the Taru Plain, a distance of about forty-seven miles. The beds are of marine origin, ammonites and ichthyosaurian remains having been found near Rabai and other localities. It is impossible to correlate these beds with any occurring in South Africa, but they appear to form a belt running many miles north and south of Mombasa. The sedimentary beds rest unconformably on a metamorphic series, consisting of gneisses, schists, and intrusive granites. The strike is N.N.W. and 8.S.E., and the dip is generally high. The beds are often intensely folded (Ndange River). Biotite is the commonest mica, and orthoclase the predominant felspar. The schists contain much cyanite, full of iron inclusions. Common garnets are plentiful. Hornblendic rocks are remarkably scarce, the main mass being mica- ceous. Graphite schists occur, and the Bura Hills are largely composed of a crystalline limestone containing scales of graphite. No fossils could be detected. Quartz veins and quartzites are only feebly developed. They form gently un- dulating country or else nearly level plains (Taru, Serengeti) through which low isolated hills of gneiss and granite protrude. It is evident that they have suffered enormous denudation. They no doubt represent a complex metamorphosed series of sediments and intrusive rocks, but of what geological age or ages it is impossible to state. The intrusive granites are generally pegmatites. Porphyritic granite covers a large area in Kayirondo. Biotite is the essential mica, and a pink orthoclase the predominant felspar. The relation of this large mass of granite to the gneisses and schists could not be ascertained. The area covered by granite and metamorphic rocks is enormous. Fully two- thirds of Central Kast Africa are composed of these rocks, The remaining portion of the country, excepting the narrow coast belt of sedimentary rocks, is formed of recent volcanic rocks. No traces of the fossiliferous sandstones and shales found by Professor Drummond near Lake Tanganyika, and quite recently by Mr. Joseph Thomson to the west of Lake Nyassa and around Lake Bangweolo, were detected. If further investigation proves their absence from East Africa to be a fact, then we have in the deposits oe Lake Tanganyika the most northerly extension of the Karoo beds of South rica. Volcanic rocks form the grandest scenery in East Africa. They occur in two forms, giving rise to two distinct types of scenery. They have either built up tall isolated mountains like Kilimanjaro (19,718 ft.), Kenia (18,000 ft.), Elgon (14,000 ft.), Chibchangani (12,000 ft.), besides numerous other smaller hills, or they are arranged in lines running north and south. The lavas, tuffs, and ashes composing the high central plateaux of Mau, Kamasia, and Lykipia have evidently issued from a north and south fissure. The site of this fissure is now occupied by the chain of lakes commencing with Naivasha on the south, and terminating northward in Lake Baringo. Along this line recent eruptions, some still giving out steam, _” TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 759 have broken out, and it is the interception of the drainage by the material thrown out from these vents that forms the lakes Naivasha, Nakuru, and Elmeteita. Highly acid and ultra-basic rocks are represented. Kilimanjaro and the Kyulu Mountains are chiefly built up of basic rocks, while the lavas of Lykipia and the Mau plateaux are chiefly acid. It appears that the latter localities have been the seat from which acid lavas have continued to be poured from times prior to the first eruptions of Kilimanjaro up to the present day. The basic lavas of Kilimanjaro do not extend very far from the original point of issue. At least this is so to the north, for no lavas were found on the plains of Lytokitok, distant thirty miles north of Kilimanjaro. On the other hand the acid lavas of Mau and Lykipia extend for great distances. Eastwards they stretch as far as the Athé plain, about fifty miles, and westwards to near the shores of Victoria Nyanza, a distance of nearly one hundred miles. Further westward, in Busoga and Buganda, basic igneous rocks pierce the metamorphic rocks, but without possessing any general trend. With the exception of the still active volcanoes it is impossible to state even the approximate geological age of any of the eruptions. Some of the volcanoes are possibly only dormant, others are certainly extinct, but none appears to be of great geological antiquity. All that can be safely asserted is that they are long subsequent to the deposition of strata containing ammonites, for, whereas the conglomerates of these sedimentary deposits contain pebbles of schist and gneiss, they nowhere yield fragments of igneous or volcanic rocks. 9. Report on the Volcanic Phenomena of Vesuvius.—See Reports, p. 471. 10. Ox Quartz Enclosures in Lavas of Stromboli and Strombolicchio, and their Effect on the Composition of the Rock. By Professor H. J. Jounston-Lavis, M.D., M.R.C.S., B.-es-Se., F.G.S. In a recent dolerite lava stream that reaches the sea at Punta Pietrazza, on the island of Stromboli, are numerous inclusions of vein quartz and quartzite. These attain several centimetres in diameter; some specimens are almost clear glassy, while others are opaque and granular. They have undergone more or less softening and fluxion, if not actual fusion, by the lava. They are surrounded by a glassy crust containing numerous augite crystals, more especially at the periphery. Where the glassy envelope has formed veins penetrating along the fissures in the quartz, augite crystals have crystallised out of this vitreous fluid. The amount of augite in the vicinity of these quartz enclosures is greater than the average in the surrounding lava, showing that the quartz has afforded a material necessary for the individualisation of augite. The crystallisation of such out of the glass envelope would have been more complete if sudden cooling of the lava had not prevented such a result. The small island of Strombolicchio, close to Stromboli, is the wreck of an old volcanic neck. The rock composing it is lighter than the lavas of Stromboli, being of a purple tint, in which dark bottle-coloured and also bright emerald green augites are visible, the latter being fewer but very striking. The Strombolicchio rock is crowded with quartz enclosures, more opaque, more granular, and en- wreathed with numerous emerald green augites. This green crust is seen micro- scopically to be composed of mixed grains of quartz and augite. We can trace the emerald green augites to an origin in the quartz which has combined with the residual fluid of basic oxides with insufficient silica for the individualisation of a mineral to form an augite. The process is seen better here on account of the slow cooling of the plug and the absence of the mechanical disturbance in the flowing stream of lava of the Punta Pietrazza. I have elsewhere shown the olivine nodules and many loose crystals are nothing more than altered limestone enclosures, and here we see quartz adding augite to a laya which may owe its diminished acidity in part to the absorption and conversion ‘ 760. REPORT—1893. of quartz into augite, the supply of the free silica possibly affecting the rock in other ways as to its composition, not so easily demonstrable as the one here described. This is one more fact which goes to show that igneous rocks are markedly modi- fied in their composition by the rocks they traverse. I have pointed out elsewhere that it is not a case of simple fusion or fluxion but rather one of selective diffusion. 11. On the Gypsum Deposits of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. By A. T. Mercatrs, F.G.S. The gypsum deposits of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire belong to the Keuper series (Triassic). The ‘Upper Marls,’ in which the gypsum deposits occur, con- sist of beds of marls with minor bands of sandstone. Rock salt is apparently absent in both counties, but gypsum is abundant. The chief gypsum works in Nottinghamshire are at Newark, Orston, Barton, Thrumpton Gotham, and Kingston, and in Derbyshire at Chellaston and Aston. The gypsum varies in thickness from a mere film to fifteen feet or so, and occurs in the marls in the form of ‘ bowls, ‘cakes,’ beds, and thin bands or veins, and in every degree of purity. The more massive portions are usually saccharoidal or amorphous, and the purest kind is by the trade termed ‘Supertine.’ The tough variety, commonly called ‘ Alabaster,’ which is worked up into ornaments, is found only in the Chellaston district. The thin bands or ‘rivings’ are fibrous (‘satin spar’). These gypsum deposits were probably formed in salt lakes or inland seas, similar to the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake of Utah. After extraction gypsum is cleaned, ground down to flour, and burnt. The burning drives off the combined water. When ground down to flour and properly burnt gypsum possesses the valuable property of recombining with water, and setting from a thin paste into a solid mass. The mineral thus treated forms plaster of Paris, and is en ingredient in Keene’s and other hardened cements. 12. Report on Photographs of Geological Interest—See Reports, p. 475. 13. On a Bed of Oolitic Iron-ore in the Lias of Raasay. By Horace B. Woopwarp, F.G.S. [Communicated by permission of the Director-General of the Geological Survey.] The author drew attention to the occurrence in Raasay of a bed of oolitic iron- ore which had not been previously noticed. ‘The bed in question attains a thick- ness of five feet, and lies at the top of the Middle Lias, beneath the dark shales of the Upper Lias. The stratigraphical position is thus approximately the same as that of the Cleveland iron-ore, although in Yorkshire the upper part of the Middle Lias contains a series of ironstone bands. An analysis of the Raasay ore, made by Mr. A. B. Dick, showed in the grey (unweathered) rock 29 per cent., and in the brown (weathered) rock 37 per cent., of metalliciron. The discovery of the iron-ore was made during the progress of the Geological Survey. 14. Note on a Transported Mass of Chalk in the Boulder Clay at Catworth in Huntingdonshire. By A. C. G. Cameron, Geological Survey. [Communicated by permission of the Director-General of the Survey. } In this paper the author comments upon the abundance of chalk fragments and boulders that culminate in the Drift around the highest points in the county west of the town of Huntingdon. At particular elevated spots there are outcrops of white Chalk which are dug up and used about the farmyards, where it sets hard, , SS a aS TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 761 making a firm bottom like cement. At Catworth, near Kimbolton, on the summit of high ground overlooking the plain of the Oxford Clay, there is a mass of chalk of great size, regularly interstratified with flint and lying on Boulder Clay. The very unusual phenomenon is presented of a village, or the greater and principal part of a village, built on chalk far away from any place where the Chalk forma- tion occurs in place, or any outliers of that rock are seen. The evidence is striking. There are ponds and pits about in bare chalk, the soil in the gardens is chalk, and the graves in the churchyard leave off in chalk. There are numerous old excayva- tions besides, whence hundreds of loads of chalk have been got out and carted away to the farms adjacent. The flints in this chalk are angular, and show little signs of being weathered or worn, and there are in it besides thick tabular masses of flint. Copious springs issue at the base of this chalk, and it is therefore an important water-bearing bed in the village. The water in the wells sunk through the chalk to the clay beneath frequently runs over the top; while in that portion of the village which is outside the chalk area no water can be got by sinking in the clay. Besides Chalk there are boulders of other rocks clustered about this village, but none of notable size. It is not clear whether the Catworth Chalk is all one boulder—it may, perhaps, be several boulders with clay between—but as the material has been transported unaltered from the parent rock, it is not, in any sense of the term, a reconstructed chalk, 15. Augen Structure in Relation to the Origin of Eruptive Rocks and Gneiss. By J. G. Goopcut1p, F.G.S8. The author discriminates between two types of augen structure—that (also termed phacoidal structure) in which the ‘eyes’ are not necessarily crystalline in structure, but are the unsheared portions of the rock which have escaped conver- sion into the schist to which their matrix has been reduced, and that in which the ‘eyes’ are crystalline minerals, generally undeformed, and of later date in origin than the movements which haye produced the schistosity. True augen structure occurs under two different conditions. In the one the constituents out of which the augen have been formed were already in existence within the rock, and their development ina crystalline form is merely a case of regeneration under plutonic conditions. In the other class of augen structure one or more of the essential constituents that go to form the ‘ eyes’ did not ori- ginally exist within the rock, bat have been introduced at a late period in its his- tory from some foreign source. Both of these classes of augen structure appear to be due to segregatory action, which came into play at a time when the rocks in which the structure occurs were in a potentially molten condition arising from the heat developed by earth move- ments acting under great pressure. Under these conditions of high temperature a slight and very gradual relief of the pressure referred to permitted some of the less refractory minerals to pass into a condition which favoured their segregating from a state of diffusion throughout the mass. Under these circumstances the more refractory minerals remained practically unaffected. If, following the dimi- nution of pressure (which is equivalent in this case to a rise of temperature), there ensued a fall of temperature, the newly-formed minerals passed into the crystalline condition, while the rock material within which the augen had been developed still retained the schistose or other structure impressed upon it by the earth move- ments of prior date. According to this view, therefore, phacoidal amphibolite and augen-amphibolite are respectively the results of mechanical and chemical action upon the same original type of rock. In the other types of augen structure the ‘eyes’ are developed by the heat generated by earth movements, as in the former case; but an essential component of one or more of the constituents of the augen has been derived from an outside source. Augen of this class may consist of any one of several minerals; but those of most importance in the present connection are the 762 REPORT—1893. augen of one or other of the felspars. These consist of crystalline and, usually, very clear and fresh felspar, which has been developed, in the cases specially under consideration, in rocks of detrital origin, from whose original constituents the soluble alkalies had been removed by surface agencies. When such rocks were first acted upon by plutonic agencies they did not, therefore, contain the whole of the constituents out of which new felspar could arise. The question in such a case is, Whence came the alkalies which have combined with the silicates of alumina to form the felspar? In a few cases it may be surmised that part of the alkaline matter may have been introduced through the agency of percolating waters de- rived from a land-surface, or from the bottom of the sea. In such cases the alka- lies liberated by the weathering are partly returned underground, there to enter upon a new cycle of change. But it is just possible that the chief source of most of the alkalies that are introduced into rocks in process of metamorphism may lie within the inner zones of the earth’s crust, whence both potassium and sodium may be expelled in some mobile form capable of diffusing itself throughout certain kinds of rock, and there enter into new combinations in the manner already suggested. Augen structure graduates into true pegmatite, in which certain rock-forming silicates have aggregated into zones or bands following the planes of structural weakness in the rock wherein they occur. True pegmatite is thus of subsequent origin to the consolidation of the rock in which it occurs: in this respect, amongst others, it differs from ‘giant granites.’ Pegmatite, according to this view, is not intrusive in the ordinary sense of the word, but is developed zn situ as a conse- quence of local and slight relief of pressure when the parent rock was in a poten- tially molten state resulting from earth-creep under plutonic conditions. The continued formation of bands of pegmatite along the dominant planes of wealkmess in a schistose rock of metamorphic origin must result in the develop- ment of a truly foliated (not schistose) rock, into whose structure crystalline felspar enters as an essential constituent. Such a rock would differ in no respect from a true gneiss. If the superincumbent pressure is relieved per saltwm, while any given rock is subjected to a temperature above that of the fusing point of its most refractory constituent, the entire mass enters into a state of fusion, in which form it eats its way upward until a communication is established between the subterranean zones of fusion and the surface, and a volcano is the result. It would thus appear that augen structure is one of the first stages alike in the conversion of a metamorphic rock into gneiss, and in that fusion of deep-seated masses which eventually leads to the formation of the non-foliated rocks of erup- tive origin, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. The following Papers and Report were read :— 1. The Genetic Relations of the Basic Hruptive Rocks of Gran (Kristiania Region). By Professor W. C. Bricaur, of the University of Kristiania. This paper dealt with a series of eruptive bosses and laccolites forming a line of hills, of which the chief, in order from north to south, are:—(1) Brandberget, (2) Sélvsberget, e Viksfjeld, and (4) Dignaes. The main rock type in these bosses was called by the author Olivine-gabbro-diabase. It is basic (48 per cent. SiO,) in (1), rather less basic (47 per cent.) in (2), and somewhat acid (49 per cent.) in (4). From the intimate connection of the minerals in the different types, and the occurrence of all intermediate varieties, it was proved that these rocks had segregated in succession from a magma whose average composition was not unlike that of the rock of Sélvsberget. The gradation in chemical composition produced - i i a ie TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 763 a similar gradation in the mineral percentages, the felspar increasing from 12 per cent. to 64 per cent., and the pyroxene diminishing from 67 per cent. to 10 per cent. in a southerly direction. The author briefly stated that the contact metamorphism due to these plutonic rocks was quite different in character from that produced by a neighbouring mass of quartz-syenite in the same group of sedimentary rocks. The eruptive bosses are accompanied by a great series of dikes and sheets of lam- prophyric character, and varying from camptonite to bostonite. The author brought forward a quantity of evidence to prove that (1) these two extreme types, with SiO, percentages varying from 40 to 56, had been derived from the same magma; that (2) 9 parts of camptonite and 2 of bostonite (about the proportion observed in the field) would give a magma of the composition of the Olivine-gabbro-diabase of Sdlvsberget ; that (3) these lamprophyric dikes had been derived from the same magma as the plutonic rocks; and that (4) the differentiation had been effected while the magma still remained fluid. It was further shown that the differentiation was probably due to the migration of less soluble constituents to the cooling margin; that the camptonites had a composition closely allied to that of the brown hornblendes of the area; and that, while the essential cooling of the plutonic rocks had taken place in the eruptive bosses themselves, the dike rocks had segregated before extrusion. A subsidiary differentiation of the plutonic rocks has also taken place in some of the bosses, giving rise in the pure basic Brandberget to a pyroxenite (with 95 per cent. pyroxene) and augite-diorite, and in the less basic Sélvsberget pyroxenite and labrador-porphyrite. Other points of information to be noted were: (1) That, under different physical conditions, not only various mineral aggregates, but rocks of varying chemical composition had resulted from the differentiation of the same magma; (2) that similar products result in this case from the segregation of an Olivine-gabbro- diabase magma as have elsewhere been derived from a magma that has produced nepheline-syenite; (3) that the direction of segregation, according to laws of crystallisation, throws considerable light on the order of volcanic eruptions from neighbouring centres. 2. Petrological Features of the Dissected Volcano of Orandall Basin, Wyoming. By Professor JosrpH Paxson Ippinas. It will not be possible in an abstract to do more than present in the briefest manner the more salicnt features of the petrology of the rocks of this voleano. The rocks are mostly the same as those in various parts of the Yellowstone National Park, some of which haye been described in another place. The older acid breccia con- sists of fragments and dust of hornblende-mica-andesite, hornblende-andesite, and. hornblende-pyroxene-andesite. They are partly glassy and partly holocrystalline. In some places they appear to pass into the overlying breccia, but in others they have been eroded and weathered before the latter were thrown over them. The upper breccia, which constitutes the main mass of the volcano, is basaltic as a whole. It consists of pyroxene-andesite and basalt, the latter predominating in the upper part of the accumulation. The massive flows, so far as investigated, are all basalt. The composition varies constantly within narrow limits. A great part of these rocks contain glassy ground mass. The rocks constituting the dikes exhibit more variation than the breccias, though the majority of them are like the breccias in composition and habit, being basalt. They are generally more crystalline. A great many dike rocks resemble the basalts in outward appearance, but have no olivine, and are more crystalline. The absence of olivine appears to be due to the conditions which influenced the crystallisation of the rocks, and not to their chemical composition, for in some cases what appear in hand specimens to be decomposed olivines are found to be paramorphs after this mineral, consisting of grains of augite, magnetite, and biotite. As the rocks become more crystalline biotite becomes an essential constituent, the porphyritic minerals lose their sharpness of outline and assume some of the microscopical characteristics they possess in gabbro. 764 REPORT—1893. Within the core the coarsest-grained forms are gabbro. The composition varies in different parts of one rock mass, and also between different intrusions within the core. The transition is from a gabbro to a diorite with biotite and quartz ; and the extreme variety is that form of granite called haplite, the range in silica being from 51°81 to 71°62 per cent. Fine-grained andesitic equivalents of diorite occur in dikes outside of the core, but none of the most siliceous varieties has been found outside of it. From this it appears that towards the end of volcanic activity near the core the composition of the magmas became more and more siliceous, and the volume of the lava erupted smaller. But this change in composition was not uninterrupted, for there are evidences of the alternate eruption of basic magmas as well. Dilkes of more siliceous rocks are traversed by later dikes of basic rocks. This has taken place both inside and outside of the core. Some of these basic rocks are exceptionally low in silica for rocks of this region. They are all found at some distance from the core, with one exception, which ig an intrusion within it. They are lamprophyric, and approach more or less closely camptonites, monchiquites, kersantites, and minettes. They are connected with the basalts of the region by mineralogical and structural transitions. These exceptionally basic rocks are the chemical complements of the acid ones in the core, and appear to be among the latest eruptions. While they agree with one another in having a low percentage of silica, they differ in the relative abun- dance of magnesia, lime, and iron oxide on the one hand and of alumina, soda, and potash on the other. As already pointed out by the writer in another place, the variability in composition of all the igneous rocks in this volcano illustrates one mode of differentiation of a magma at a particular centre of eruption. A comparison of the chemical and mineral composition of the rocks of this district furnishes additional evidence of the fact that magmas which are chemically similar will crystallise into different groups of minerals, according to the conditions through which they pass. Thus chemically similar magmas may form basalt under one set of conditions and. gabbro under others, the first composed of plagioclase, augite, olivine, magnetite, and sometimes hypersthene, the second consisting of plagioclase, augite, hyper- sthene, and biotite, besides some magnetite, orthoclase, and quartz, with or without hornblende. Minerals, then, which are primarily functions of the chemical composition of rocks are also functions of the physical conditions affecting crystallisation. Some of the conditions under which the molten magmas solidified within the dikes and core of the volcano of Crandall Basin may be inferred from a considera- tion of the geological structure of this ancient volcano, The magmas which solidified within that portion of the core now exposed and those in dikes within a radius of two miles must have occupied positions at nearly the same distance beneath the surface of the voleano—that is, at a depth of about 10,000 feet. The latter rocks were as deep or as abysmal as the former, and yet their degrees of crystallisation range from glassy to coarsely granular. The influence of pressure on the crystallisation is not recognisable either in the size of grain or the phase of crystallisation. Marked changes in the crystallisation may be traced horizontally in the imme- diate vicinity of the core. They are rapid near the core, and are accompanied by the induration and metamorphism of the surrounding rocks, They are in great measure independent of the size of the rock-body, since narrow dikes within the core are coarse-grained, while much broader ones in the surrounding breccias are very fine-grained. It was unquestionably the differences in the temperature of the core-rocks and of the outlying breccias which affected the degree of crystallisation. The former must have been more highly heated than the surrounding rocks, and the magmas solidifying within them cooled much more slowly than those injected into the outlying parts of the volcano. In this case the depth at which the magmas solidified appears to have been of little moment in comparison with the temperature of the rocks by which they were surrounded. The core of gabbro and diorite, with an intricate system of veins of middle- Lod TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 765 grained porphyritic rocks, and radiating dikes of aphanitic and glassy lavas, encased in an accumulation of tuffs and breccias, with flows of massive lava, constitute an extinct or completed volcano, The central core consists of magmas that closed the conduit through which many of the eruptions had reached the surface. In solidifying they became coarse-grained. The question naturally suggests itself, Are these rocks any less volcanic than those that reached the surface? What part of a volcano is non-volcanic ? 3. Berthelot’s Principle applied to Magmatic Concentration. By Avrrep Harker, M.A., F.G.S. The paper deals with that type of concentration in which an igneous rock- magma, supposed originally homogeneous, has been differentiated by accumulation of the more basic ingredients in the cooler marginal part of the liquid. The author tries to find a physical cause for this action by comparing such a magma with a saturated saline solution, and applying Berthelot’s ‘ principle of maximum work’ or the cognate one of ‘most rapid degradation.’ The migration of the least soluble ingredients to the part of the liquid most easily saturated would determine crystallisation, the process which in the case supposed would give the most rapid evolution of heat. 4. On the Origin of Intermediate Varieties of Igneous Rocks by Intrusion and Admiature, as observed at Barnavave, Carlingford. By Professor W. J. Sottas, D.Sc., F.R.S. The two principal kinds of rocks composing the mountain of Barnavave are a dark-coloured, almost black, gabbro and a light-coloured, almost white, grano- phyre. This extreme contrast in colour renders the study of their relations to each other in the field acomparatively easy task. The gabbro which overlies the grano- phyre was the first-formed rock, and had already cooled and solidified before the granophyre was injected into it. The injection of granophyre has been of the most searching character, and the rock can be traced from the parent mass through dykes of all gradations in size down to the minutest films and specks which fill cracks and cavities in and amongst the constituent minerals of the gabbro. The gabbro has thus become converted locally into the quartz gabbro of authors, and it is suggested that in other cases, as that of Carrock Fell, this rock has had a similar origin. The granophyre, on the other hand, contains fragments of the gabbro, ranging from great blocks down to mere crystal dust of its constituent minerals, labradorite and augite. It thus passes into hornblendic granophyre, the syenite’ of the Survey. There is no evidence here, as has been erroneously sup- posed, of the differentiation of an originally homogeneous magma, and the minute granophyric dykes are neither contemporaneous nor segregation products. On the contrary, rocks of intermediate character have been produced from already dif- ferentiated and opposed types solely by admixture. 5. On the Transformation of an Amphibolite into Quartz-mica-diorite. By Professor W. J. Sottas, D.Sc., F.R.S. On the steep northern side of tne upper lake of Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, a coarsely crystalline rock, weathering spheroidally, protrudes in a bold mass through the surrounding Ordovician mica-schists, which it welds at the junction into des- mosite. It consists almost entirely of hornblende, possesses a specific gravity of 3°03, and analysed in bulk gives the following results :— Silica .

Great interest attaches to the remarkable change in character and composition which the rock undergoes on passing from its eastern to its western boundary : quartz and orthoclase as well as plagioclase felspar appear as additional consti- tuents; simultaneously the hornblende becomes actinolitic, and gives rise to a profusion of black mica. From an amphibolite the rock changes into a quartz- mica-diorite. Numerous veins of quartz traverse the adjacent schists, and can be traced on the western side of the amphibolite up to and into it; they contain potash felspar near the junction, and it is to their influence that the transformation of the amphibolite is unquestionably due. Another instance is thus afforded of a rock of intermediate type resulting from the admixture of already differentiated material. 6. On some Igneous Rocks of South Pembrokeshire, witi a Note on the Rocks of the Isle of Grassholme. By ¥.T. Howarp, B.A., and E. W. Smatt, M.A., B.Sc. I. Constitution of the District.—The district is largely composed of rocks of Old Red Sandstone age with smaller patches of Silurian and Ordovician strata, bounded on the N. by Carboniferous rocks. The igneous rocks may be roughly divided into two groups: the first or northern group runs in a more or less E. and W. direction, and marks the southern boundary of the Culm, while the second (in the §.W.) occurs as isolated patehes, associated principally with rocks of Silurian age. II. Reference is given to the previous work of Kidd, De la Beche, Murchison, Aveline, Rutley, Hicks, Davies, and Teall. III. Detailed Description of the Igneous Rocks.—(A) Northern group.—Sub- divided into three distinct patches: (a) In 8.E. running from Benton Castle N.W. to Rosemarket, and from Benton Wood to Waterless. Practically all the rocks of this patch are quartz felsites or rhyolites; several of them show good flow structure and spherulites; much alteration has occurred in places, and the rocks have become brecciated. At Waterless is a rock (marked as granite on the Survey map), composed of quartz and felspar, whose connection with the felsites is not very clear. (6) To N. and E. of the last, stretching from near Llangwm to beyond Tier’s Cross. The rocks of this patch show great alteration, readily weathering down to a felspathic gravel. On the Survey map the patch is marked partly as syenite and partly as greenstone. Dr. Hicks describes the de- composed form of the rock seen in the railway cuttings at Johnstone as a granitoid rock, very similar to the Dimetian. Two large quarries at Annikell amd Targate give the only good exposures of the unweathered rock, chiefly a coarsely crystalline aggregate of quartz and hornblende, with a gneissose structure. Microscopically some portions might be described as typical hornblende schist, others as quartz diorite, granitic in aspect. Mr. Watts suggests that this rock may possibly be allied to the soda granites of Leinster, described by Professor Sollas. Another rock, a highly quartzose granite with microcline, appears to be later than the diorite: it shows much evidence of crushing and straining. A greenish black fine-grained rock (macroscopically appearing to be an ordinary dolerite, microscopically showing fresh stumpy plagioclase set in large plates of hornblende, apparently of primary origin) seems to be intrusive into the quartz diorite. It is doubtless the rock referred to by Dr. Hicks as diabase ; it should perhaps be called an epidiorite, or proterobase. (c) The third portion of group A runs from Romans Castle on a narrow strip past Walwyns Castle up to Talbenny, where the outcrop broadens and forms the cliffs of Goultrop Head. As described by Dr. Hicks, Mr. Davies, and Mr. Teall, the main rock appears to be an altered quartz diorite penetrated by a whiter granite; besides which there seem to be basic dykes, all more or less altered, some epidiorite, others hornblende schists. The rock at Walwyns Castle appears, however, to be a felsite. (B) Southern group.—tThis group consists of a number of patches, which Ld TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 767 appear on the Survey map as greenstone, between St. Ishmael’s on the E., Dale on the S8., Wooltack Park on the W., and Musclewick Bay on the N., including also Midland Island and part of Skomer. The rock seen in a small quarry at Crab- hall was described by Mr. Teall as a somewhat basic porphyrite. What appears to be the same rock is found exposed in several places on the opposite side of the Mullock stream. At Marloes Sands the continuation of the Crabhall rock appears in the cliff as a black dense rock much traversed by quartz and epidote. Micro- scopically it is a perfect dolerite, generally ophitic in structure with plagio- clase in augite plates, but sometimes granular ; there seems to be some hypersthene, and serpentine is present, probably after the same mineral. From Marloes Beacon this rock seems to continue, until it appears in contact with Llandeilo rocks in Musclewick Bay. The rock found here, however, is shown by the microscope to be a felsite (probably a soda felsite), and not a variety of the dolerite. At Martins Haven the same ophitic hypersthene dolerite is found which occurs at Marloes Beacon and in Marloes Bay. IV. Age of the Igneous Rocks—The age of these rocks appears to have been regarded by the Survey as post-Carboniferous, while some of them at any rate have been claimed by Dr. Hicks as pre-Cambrian. The felsites in the Benton area are almost entirely associated with beds of Old Red Sandstone, and there does not seem to be any satisfactory evidence of intrusion. Such a continuous mass of quartz felsite, with well-marked spherulitic and fiuxion structure, seems to suggest rather a flow than an intruded mass. On this supposition the beds must be at least post-Silurian. The rocks from Llangwm to Talbenny are in almost every instance associated with Llandovery beds on the one hand and Carboniferous strata on the other. The Carboniferous strata are reversed in dip, and the line of junction is in our opinion a line of thrust. The evidence seems to indicate that the rocks are not post-Carboniferous, the Culm measures being apparently unaltered near the junc- tion, and that, judging by lithological character, they did not occupy their present position as a ridge in Llandovery, Old Red, or Carboniferous times. With regard to the southern area we could not find clear evidence of intrusion, all the chief junctions appearing to be faulted ones; still there seems to be little doubt that rocks microscopically simiJar rest on different measures of Silurian age. Grassholme, a small island about seven miles from the mainland, but rarely visited, appears to be the continuation of the ridge from Wooltack Park and Skomer towards the S.E. corner of Ireland. No clastic rocks were found, the main rocks being ophitic dolerite, with corroded augite and some bands of secondary epidote and quartz, 7. Notes on a Hornblende Pikrite from Greystones, Co. Wicklow. By W. W. Warts, M.A., F.G.S. [Communicated by permission of the Director-General of the Geological Survey.] In this paper the author gave a description of a rock which forms a dyke in the Cambrian slates and grits of Greystones, in Co. Wicklow. It is a dark, dense, coarsely crystalline rock, showing largecrystals of hornblende with lustre-mottling, owing to the weathering-out of olivine crystals. It becomes finer-grained at the margins. An analysis by Dr. Sullivan was added. The hornblende is of the usual green type, and occurs in large crystals enclosing pseudomorphs of olivine, now made up of magnetite and probably a colourless amphibole. A colourless hornblende also occurs either as cores or borders to the green crystals. A third type of hornblende present shows few cleavage cracks and much magnetite dust. Apatite is a constituent, but there is no felspar in the rock, The margin of the dyke is much sheared and phacoidal in structure. 8. Report on the Registration of Type Specimens of Fossils.

Twenty Years’ Work on the Younger Red Rocks (Permian and Trias). By Rev. A. Irvine, D.Sc., B.A., F.G.S. The author reviews the work done by himself and in collaboration with other geologists on the Permian and Trias since he commenced the study of them in the North Midlands more than twenty years ago. He shows why the use of the term ‘ Poikilitic ’’ and its connotation was given up by him after further work in Britain and in Germany ; that it is necessary to recognise (as the earlier writers had done) two distinct systems in these rocks; that the strata called ‘ Bunterschiefer’ by Murchison are really the base of the Trias of Central Germany, and are sharply cut off from the Zechstein ; that there is a distinct differentiation of the two systems from each other on physical as well as stratigraphical grounds, on account of the great difference as to the derivation of their materials in the relation the Permian and Trias bear to the adjacent older land. The chief results of the author’s work on the Red Rocks of Devon in the years 1887-1892 are then summarised ; further evidence of the contemporaneity of the volcanic rocks and the breccia-sandstone series is given ; and attention is drawn to the new edition of the l-inch map of the Geological Survey, on which the Permians of Devon, as described by himself, are delineated. He regrets that he is not able to accept (for reasons given in his published papers) the delimitation of the Keuper, at the expense of the Bunter, which is adopted on that map, the base of the Keuper having been traced in the valleys of the Otter and the Sid. Sections are added (i.) at Saltern Cove on the west side of Torbay ; (ii.) at Kimberley, Notts, in which there is the plainest evidence of great unconformability between the Dyas or Permian and the older Paleozoic rocks. The author concludes with a note on the probable physical history of the series of strata under consideration. The following are the more important papers of the author herein referred to :— ‘The Geology of the Nottingham District’ (Proc. G. A., vol. iv.) ; ‘Classification of the European Permian and Trias’ (Geol. Mag., 1882); ‘Triassic Deposits of the Alps’ (Zbid., November, 1882); ‘The Dyas and Trias of Central Europe’ (Q. J.

By Baron A. von Retnacu and W. A. EH. Ussuer. At Bulwell, near Nottingham, good sections are exposed in stone and brick pits. The stone pits exhibit from 5 to 20 feet of yellowish brown Magnesian limestones, in beds of from 8 inches to 1 foot, with rather irregular surfaces. The TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 769 limestone is very occasionally compact and sub-crystalline. It consists for the most part of an aggregate of recrystallised materials, giving it the appearance of a sandstone. Very occasionally quartz pebbles of small size are met with in the denser portion. Certain markings on the irregular bed surfaces, which resembled the rude internal casts of molluscs, led us to make a closer investigation, which, from feeble casts and cavities, as if resulting from the solution of shell matter, introduced us to certain proofs of the presence of organisms. These are in a very imperfect state of preservation, but enough of the form remains to confidently assert the presence of Schizodus and of Aucella Hausmanni, forms which characterise the Upper Magnesian limestone. The fossil casts are plentiful, sometimes occurring through the stone for a thickness of 2 or 3 feet. Through their imperfect condition one can only say that the other casts suggested Schizodus Schlotheimit, S. rotundatus, Edmondia, Gervillia antiqua. In brick pits near the stone pits, over a floor of Magnesian limestone, we find a section of from 5 to 15 feet of red marly clay, with pale brown and greenish arenaceous beds and bands in places apparently dolomitie and resembling the Magnesian limestone below. These clays are immediately overlain by the Red sandstone (lower mottled) of the Bunter. Proceeding towards Nottingham sections of Bunter pebble beds are shown, exhibiting their false bedded courses, and containing occasional lines of pebbles or scattered pebbles of hard liver-coloured quartzite and other stones, amongst which we noticed fragments of igneous rock, one quartz porphyry being of a type familiar in Germany and in the Teignmouth breccias of the south-west of England. The marly clay with intercalated sandstones recalls the passage beds of marl and sandstone on the coast between Exmouth and Straight Point, though the latter are more than ten times its thickness. 5. Note on the ‘Himlack’ Stone near Nottingham. By Professor EK. Hurt, F.R.S., F.G.S. Professor F. Clowes having expressed his opinion at a previous meeting of the Section‘ that the Himlack stone had been formed artificially by quarrying out the rock which formerly inclosed it, the author desired to controvert this statement, and maintained that this remarkable rock was a monument of natural denuding agency, either marine or atmospheric. Some thirty years since, when working on the Geological Survey, he had sketched and described this rock, as will be seen on reference to the Survey memoir ‘On the Triassic and Permian Rocks of the Midland Counties’ (1869), p. 34. The rock, which is 20 feet high, consists in its ppper part of the ‘pebble beds, and in its lower of the ‘lower mottled sandstone,’ of the Bunter sandstone; and at the time the memoir was written the author considered the rock to be a remnant of marine denudation, an old sea-stack of the post-Pliocene period. Its great antiquity is evinced by its name ‘Himlack,’ which is clearly a Celtic word. 6. On the Junction of Permian and Triassic Rocks at Stockport. By J. W. Gray, F.G.S., and Percy F. Kenpatt, F.G.S. The Stockport section has for nearly thirty years been regarded as furnishing the typical illustration of an unconformity between the Permian rocks and the overlying Bunter. The Geological Survey memoir relating to the district gives the following three vertical sections :— Heaton Mersey Hope Hill Stockport West East Trias. Trias. Trias. Permian marl, 129 feet. Permian 1arl, 25 feet. Permian marl (absent). Permian sandstone. Permian sandstone. Permian sandstone. 1 Page 745. 1893. 3D 770 REPORT— 1893. By a fortunate chance boreholes have within the last ten years been put down at each of the localities named; the authors have had opportunities of watching the progress of the work, and the investigation has yielded results entirely different from those previously recorded. At the most easterly exposure a good brook section displays a considerable thickness of the marls. The details of the well sections are as follows :— West Heaton Mersey Hope Hill Stockport East Bunter — = ae Collyhurst marls. 143 feet 6 inches, 150 feet, 134 feet. The authors consider that the close correspondence in thickness of the upper- most member of the Permian series in all three sections justifies the opinion that, whatever may be the case elsewhere, there is no evidence of unconformity at Stockport. The facts brought to light have an important bearing upon the question of water supply, and also encourage the expectation that coal may be profitably worked beneath the newer rocks at long distances from the western edge of the Cheshire coalfield. 7. Note on some Molluscan Remains lately discovered in the English Keuper. By R. Butten Newton, F.G.S., British Museum (Natural History). This communication directs attention to the discovery, by the Rey. P. B. Brodie and Mr. E. P. Richards, of some obscure impressions of lamellibranch shells in the green gritty marls of the Upper Keuper Sandstone of Shrewley, Warwickshire, which form the first evidence of a molluscan fauna from these beds as developed in this country. The matrix appears to be so peculiarly unfavourable for the reten- tion of shell structure that it is doubtful whether any better material than the present will ever be forthcoming. The specimens indicate truly marine types, though on account of bad preservation only three of them could be selected for description as exhibiting certain characters in their contours and sculpturing, which “mnight be of service in ascertaining their probable generic positions. Estheria minuta is the one invertebrate form hitherto recorded from the British Keuper; that is, excluding the Foraminifera described by Professor T. R. Jones and W. K. Parker,! which came from an alabaster pit at Chellaston, near Derby, and which were doubtfully referred by the authors to an Upper Triassic age. The very modern facies of the Foraminifera has suggested the highly probable idea that they were derived from superficial deposits, Associated in the matrix containing these molluscan impressions are fragments of cestraciont spines and teeth (Acrodus Keuperinus) and a part of a carapace of the small phyllopodous crustacean, Estheria minuta. The specimens described are identified as— (1) Thracia (2?) Brodiei (x. sp.). (2) Goniomya Keuperina (n. sp.). (3) Pholadomya(?) Richardsi (n. sp.). Such generic forms as are represented here have not apparently been reported from rocks of a similar period on the Continent or elsewhere. Fifteen specimens and a diagram accompanied the paper, 8. Observations on the Skiddaw Slates of the North of the Isle of Man. By Herpert Botton, Assistant Keeper, the Manchester Museum, Owens College. The Skiddaw slate group of the north of the Isle of Man consists of alterna- tions of quartzites, schists, slates, and bedded volcanic ash, penetrated by intrusive sheets and dykes and ramifying quartz veins. 1 «On some Fossil Foraminifera from Chellaston, near Derby,’ Quart. Journ. Geol. Soe., 1860, vol. xvi. pls. 19, 20, pp. 452-458. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. T71 North of a line drawn from Port Mooar through Snaefell to Peel, the general dip of the slate is to the north-north-west at an angle varying from thirty degrees to nearly vertical. The lowest beds exposed in this area crop at Port Mooar along the axes of a series of anticlinal folds, which occupy the whole of the bay and extend south to Gob-ny-Garvain. These beds consist of massive iron-stained quartzites and schists overlaid by well-bedded slates. Northwards, by St. Maughold’s Head and thence to Ramsey, the slates dip steadily to the north-north-west, the angle of dip varying between fifty and sixty degrees. Several dykes cut through the slate, whilst quartz veins run in all directions. The dykes run very nearly in the line of strike, and at first sight appear bedded and not intrusive. That the quartz veins originated subsequent to the dykes is seen by their pene- trating the latter. Interbedded with the slates are thick sheets of volcanic ash much resembling quartzites. t The slates of St. Maughold’s Head have yielded Paleochorda and certain oval structures which are evidently organic. In the neighbourhood of Ballure Glen and Ballastowel Hill, the slates are badly bedded, and full of irregular pebble-like inclusions, which give to the rock a brecciated appearance. These have yielded the cast of a trilobite much resembling Asaphus or A‘glina, and also certain other structures which may possibly prove organic. North and north-west from Ballastowell, the Skiddaw slates consist of irrecularly bedded iron-stained slates with interbedded volcanic ash, the latter often of considerable thickness. ' Near Sully Glen Station occurs the singular and isolated hill of Cronk Lumark, made up of a ‘shivery’ slate. Ina quarry on the north side of the hill specimens were discovered of Dictyonema sociale and of a new species not yet described. A series of dip observations taken along Sully Glen, Tholt-e-Will, and over the summit of Snaefell, shows that the dip changes round towards the west, causing axes of the anticlinal folds to emerge on the west coast, a little to the south of Peel, where the cliffs exhibit a series of contortions and folds not unlike those of Gob-ny-Garvain and Port Mooar. The conclusions deduced from these observations are as follows :— (1) That the Skiddaw slates of the north of the Isle of Man dip north-north- west from an axis of folding which runs from Gob-ny-Garvain and Port Mooar on the east to a little south of Peel on the west. (2) That there exists a series of contemporaneous beds of volcanic ash. (3) That the Skiddaw slates are fossiliferous, and by their fossils show a relation with the Lingula Flags of the Cambrian. 9. On the Volcanic Phenomena of Japan. By Professor J. Mitnz, F.2.S. 10. On the Radiolarian Cherts of Cornwall. By Howarp Fox, F.G.S. The Mullion Island radiolarian cherts were first recognised by Mr. J. J. H. Teall, F.R.S.,in rocks sent to him by the author last autumn, and a joint paper was read at the Geological Society’s meeting, February 8 last, describing the manner in which they occur. Dr. Hinde accompanied the paper with a description of the "species recognised and with micro-photographs of the individual organisms. Last Easter Mr. Teall, Professor Lapworth, and the author traced these cherts for about 650 yards in the cliffs and on the foreshore from the south end of Nelly’s Cove, near Porthallow, Meneage, to near Ligarath Point, south of the Nore Point. Subsequently the author has examined the coast and some inland districts between he River and Fowey, and has found other exposures in the following places :— Pendoner Beach, Veryan (for about 1,000 yards).—Beds many feet thick at the “west end of this beach, on which the raised beach rests. Angular fragments of 3D2 772 REPORT—1893. chert are enclosed in the raised beach, and in one place a mass of chert and slate cliff has been thrust over it, and thus the chert appears both above and below as well as in the raised beach. Towards the eastern end of this beach the chert beds become thinner and more impure and ferruginous, and the limestone beds become thicker ard more numerous, Portloe Point, Veryan.—Here several beds, varying from one to six inches in thickness, are seen for 20 yards in the volcanic breccia (or ‘ trappean conglomerate ’ of De la Beche) associated with some small amount of shale and grit, more or less decomposing from the presence of iron. Two small exposures are traced inland, one of which is 500 yards west of Portloe Point. Pecunnen Cove, Gorran.—N.W. of the Dodman beds of chert are seen in perpendicular thinly laminated crushed dark slates for 60 yards, accompanied by numerous lenticles and bands of black quartzite and yellowish grey limestone. Inland exposures are traced at intervals in a line extending for five miles inland from Pendoner Beach in a N.E. direction through the village of Veryan to Tolearne Mill, north of St. Michael Caerhays. These cherts on the mainland are less pure than those in Mullion Island, and the structure of the individual organism is destroyed. Some specimens show signs of great shearing and crushing, and have no traces of radiolaria; others show shearing with slight traces of radiolaria, whilst others show no signs of crushing, and have clear round spaces, evidently due to radiolaria. In many of the specimens examined a considerable amount of ferric oxide has been formed by the decomposition and oxidation of pyrites, and possibly also of ferriferous carbonate. At Portloe Point the chert appears to pass into quartz. The Meneage and Veryan cherts are associated with the well-known Ordovician quartzites of those districts, and appear to lie immediately under them; but the sequence is not absolutely clear, and no typical fossils have yet been found in the shales and slates with which the cherts are interbanded. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. The following Papers and Reports were read :— 1. A Discussion on Geological Education was Opened by the Reading of the Following Papers by Professors Cote and Lrzoour. Geology in Secondary Education. By Professor Grenvitte A. J. Cort, M.R.LA., F.G.S. This paper is intended to be introductory to a discussion of the methods of teaching geology, with a view to making the general results of research in that science more accessible as a branch of education. The need for selection of subjects in modern education is fully admitted ; but it is urged that, following on the study of elementary chemistry and physics, geology forms a subject of such far-reaching importance that it should be included in the general curriculum for boys and girls about the age of sixteen or seventeen. The utility, in a technical sense, of such knowledge is not here insisted on, But everyone upon this earth should be capable of appreciating his surroundings, and particularly the past history of life upon the globe, if he is to be able to pass judgment upon current affairs, and to play his part as an individual organism. It is urged that geology is asfundamentally important as history, and tends to modify very largely our conceptions of the relations between what is called ‘antiquity’ and ourselves. Besides this, in common with other natural sciences, it encourages a love of truth where statements can be safely made, and of reserve where assertions would be merely dogmatic. The course suggested for all pupils is one in which mineral details are subor- TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 773 dinated, except where they are important in explaining the origin of certain broad features, such as familiar and local landscapes. It is proposed to avoid the use of microscopic sections, and rather to rely upon powdered specimens for the deter- mination of the constituents of such simple rocks as are dealt with. The greatest stress for general purposes is to be laid upon an outline of stratigraphical geology, and its illustration by such beds, unconformities, &c., as may be exhibited in the environs of the school. The outdoor character of the study should be insisted on ; and the fact that the broader generalisations of the science are based on the colla- tion of local observations will not be among the least valuable results of the intro- duction of the subject into our educational systems. On Geology in Professional Education. By Professor G. A. Lexour, M.A., F.G.S., of the Durham College of Science, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The author has for many years been engaged in teaching geology in a Univer~ sity college situated in a centre of great mining and manufacturing activity. The students with whom he had to deal were many of them, therefore, being educated for some branch or other of engineering, and took up the subject of geology with a view to its future utility rather than as an academic subject merely. For professional students of this type he thought that the ordinary geological courses in colleges of this kind were, asa rule, too long. In his own college, for instance, geology comprised two or three annual series of about ninety lectures each, with a field-day every week and a field-week every year, besides (for second and third year men) at least eight hours per week of laboratory work. This was not too long for men going up for title or degree examinations in geology, and still less was it too much for those, necessarily few in number, who intended. to become professional geologists; but for future mining or civil engineers and managers of works he contended that it was excessive. Such men need not be trained into experts in geology. It was enough that they should leave their college with so clear a grasp of the principles of the science and such an insight into its methods that they should be enabled to understand the reports of the geological experts whom they might employ, and to distinguish between the real expert and the quack. At present the conclusions of a report are often all that appears practical to and all that is really read by the interested parties. This would he otherwise had they been taught to understand the reasons on which the con- clusions are based. A sound knowledge of principles could alone give this com- petence, and this could be obtained in at most a single year's course of the length previously referred to. But if he advocated shorter courses for professional students it must not be supposed that he was therefore in any way in favour of special courses for special men. There was but one geology, whatever be the future career of the learner. There was no more a ‘ geology for engineers’ or a ‘ geology for agriculturists’ than there was (as had been suggested years ago in ‘ Exeter Change’) a ‘ geology for the blind’ or a ‘geology for rural postmen.’ The principles were the same for all, though in the time to be spent and in the number and selection of the illustrative facts brought under the notice of students there was ample room for judicious adjustment. In attempting to carry out those views he had been overwhelmingly impressed by the value of practical work. If, as Professor Cole had well urged, outdoor work was useful for schoolboys, it was doubly useful for older students. The field was to the geologist what the laboratory was to the chemist, and for petrology and palzontology geologists now needed laboratories of their own. As regards field-work, he had found it useful to adopt a scheme in which the region examined by his students was treated as an unknown bit of country would be in the limited time at the disposal of the class; maps and reports were drawn up exclusively from the observations actually made, leaving out of consideration all points of which the knowledge had been derived from other 774 REPORT— 1893. sources. This method gave a sense of the reality of the work scarcely attainable otherwise. Practical petrological work he had found generally popular with professional students—much more so than paleontological museum work, some of which must, however, of course, be done. He thought that much more use than is commonly the case might be made of the experimental method in teaching students of this class. He found, for instance, that a machine designed by himself for the reproduction on the lecture-table of most of the phenomena connected with folds, faults, and thrusts gave great definiteness to the ideas of his pupils, and at the same time added very much to the interest taken in the lectures. This was the case also with many of Daubrée’s experiments on lamination and foliation, and on joints produced by torsion, which could easily be adapted for demonstration purposes. The fact that sediment is deposited more rapidly in salt than in fresh water once seen is never forgotten— if only mentioned it is seldom remembered. The production of tinstone (cassiterite) in a porcelain tube from chloride of tin and water vapour can be managed within an hour’s lecture, and impresses upon the student’s mind one method of vein-filling from below in a manner unequalled by any amount of talk. The synthesis of several minerals can also, with a little trouble, be carried out with the best effects where a friendly chemical or metallurgical laboratory is at hand. Added to experiments such as these, actual measurements with goniometers, observations of specific gravity by various methods, testings of hardness, streak, fusibility, and the like, should be made; and now that we had the benefit of Professor Cole’s most excellent ‘ Aids in Practical Geology,’ they could be made with much greater ease than formerly. Time precluded the author from entering into further detail, but he trusted that enough had been said to show that in teaching professional students of the University College order he was inclined to rely very largely upon general principles, illustrated as far as possible by lecture experiments and by actual work done by the students themselves in the field and geological laboratory. 2. The Glaciation of Asia. By Prince Kroporkin. There has lately been a good deal of discussion about the glaciation of Asia, and especially of Siberia. To speak of the glaciation or non-glaciation of an immense continent, without taking into account its orographic structure, is evidently utterly misleading. One must have first a clear idea of what Asia is from the orographer’s point of view. I have, therefore, marked what is known about the glaciation of Siberia upon a map, in which Petermann has embodied the ideas I advocate about the oro- graphy of Siberia. The different tints with which it is coloured will show at a glance the structure of that part of the continent. Lilac represents the plateau (12,000 to 16,000 feet high in the south, 4,000 to 5,000 feet high in the north), with a depression—the lower plateau—coloured in a lighter shade of lilac. Deep and broad valleys penetrate into it from the west. They have been its drainage valleys. The high plateau has never been submerged since the Devonian age. Brown colour represents the border-ridge of the plateau and the Alpine tracts, indented by deep valleys, which fringe the plateau and consist of chains running north-east (the older ones) and north-west (the younger ones). } tebe libero represents the high steppes and prairies, 1,000 to 2,000 feet 2 . hig Green shows the lowlands under 1,000 feet, and mostly wnder 500 feet, above the sea. Now, taking into consideration all that is known about the old glaciers of Siberia, we may, I think, sum it up as follows :— The lowlands, in all probability, have not been glaciated. Immense portions of them were under the sea, perhaps during the Glacial age, and most certainly TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. VTS" during the post-Glacial period, up to what is now the 150 feet level, which means a great portion of the green space of the map. Neither have the steppes, under 2,000 feet, been glaciated; but many moun- tain-ridges which rise over them (all under 6,000 feet) were covered with extensive laciers. i The whole of the border-ridge has been glaciated. Immense glaciers in the Tian-Shan, and immense caps of ice further north, covered it, the ice being dis- charged into the typical longitudinal valleys which fringe the border-ridge, and descending there to a very low level (about 1,000 feet). Ice also covered large parts and filled many valleys of the Alpine tracts which fringe the plateau. The secondary smaller plateaux, rising amidst these Alpine tracts (such as the Patom plateau, 58° north latitude, 115° east longitude, now 5,000 to 6,000 feet high), were totally buried under the ice. This suggestion of mine has now been confirmed by Obrucheff. As to the plateau itself, I am very much inclined to think that the whole of the Vitim plateau and the north-west Mongolia plateau, east and south-west of Lake Baikal, were totally covered with an ice cap. So also the highlands further north. There is reason to believe that the Pamirs were ice-bound in the same way, and the great extension of formidable glaciers in the Himalayas is fully proved in my opinion. I also consider that the eastern border-ridge of the plateau—the Great Khin- gan—has been ice-bound. Where I have crossed it (50° north latitude) it bears traces of extensive glaciation. As to the southern portion of the High Plateau—Tibet, Ordos, and highlands of the Hoang-ho, as also the highlands on the Amur in Manchuria and China—so far as my information goes, we must suspend judgment, and are sorry that we have no reliable information either in favour of or against glaciation. In fact, we know nothing in this respect as regards these countries. But I must mention that the portions of North and Middle Asia which have been glaciated are, like the glaciated areas of Europe, always surrounded by a girdle of Loess. In Turkestan and on the Lena, as well as in South Russia or on the Rhine, a fringe of Loess marks the outer limits of glaciation; and those geologists who consider Loess intimately connected with glaciation, and as having been formed on the outer borders of large glaciers and ice caps, as it undoubtedly has been in the case of Europe, will see in the Loess of China an indication, though not yet a proof, of the probable extension of immense glaciers in the southern part of the Great Khingan, north and west of Peking, as well as in the Hoang-ho highlands. I leave it to persons better acquainted than myself with the geology of Persia, Asia Minor, and Armenia to decide how far the south-western plateau of Asia has been invaded by ice. My conclusion for Siberia and the adjoining parts of Mongolia might thus be provisionally expressed as follows :— All regions now over 3,000 feet of altitude have been covered either with ice caps on the plateaux, or with large glaciers in the Alpine tracts, the glaciers descending in the valleys to levels of about 1,000 feet above the sea. Regions below 2,000 feet have probably nov been glaciated. 3. On some Assumptions in Glacial Geology. By Professor T. G. Bonney, D.Sc., F.R.S. Three assumptions, often treated as axiomatic by modern glacialists, were discussed :— (1) That boulder clays are ground moraines. The modes of transport of débris by ice were described. It was admitted that, the more extensive the glacier, the greater the amount (in proportion) of sub-glacial débris; but it was denied that there was any proof that such a deposit (ground moraine) ever attained ‘a considerable thickness. vl 776 REPORT—1893. (2) That glaciers were potent excavators. It was shown that all the evidence pointed in the opposite direction, and that this dogma was irreconcilable with the former one. (3) That ice can scoop loose material from a sea-bed, carry it overland, and deposit it unharmed far from and high above the water level. Instances were given from the Swiss lowlands to show the improbability of this hypothesis. The deposits in this region differ from the British boulder clays (among other things) in the absence of lenticular intercalations of sand and gravel. These boulder clays are probably of more than one origin. They are not likely to be understood until there is more attention to facts and abstention from hypotheses. 4. On the Glacial Period, its Origin and Effects, and the Possibility of its Recurrence. By C. A. Linpvatt, of Stockholm. The author in this paper recalls the various explanations of the phenomena of the Quaternary period offered by different observers. Linné supposed the kames to contain the history of the first emergence of Sweden; Sepstrém (1836), Berzelius, Von Buch, and to a certain extent Sir A. Geikie, attributed the phe- nomena to a mighty current of water sweeping from north to south; Dr. Siljestrém (1838) says that, even admitting the current, the upper valleys of Norway must have been marked by glaciers. Sir C. Lyell refers to geographical changes; Sir R. Ball calls in astronomical changes; but most modern geologists call in the action of inland ice. The author's theory is that the phenomena are due to the continued action of ocean currents and loose drift ice. In Pleistocene times the Gulf Stream must have swept over Lapland and back through the archipelago of Northern Europe laden with drift ice. This ice, aided by tidal action and the gradual uplift of the land, is considered capable of moving and carrying large blocks of stone, masses of gravel and sand along the bottom of the sea, and of accounting for the denudation and striation of rocks and many other phenomena of the Glacial period in Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland, Norway, and North America. 5. Report on the High-level Shell-bearing Deposits at Clava, Chapelhall, and other Localities—See Reports, p. 483. 6. Report on Erratic Blocks.—See Reports, p. 514. 7. On some Shell-middens in North Wales. By P. W. Assorr and P. F. Kenpatt, F.G.S. The authors describe the occurrence of many well-preserved examples of Cardium edule and other species of edible mollusca exposed in a bank of earthy clay on the slopes of Penmaenmawr, about 200 yards from a farmhouse, ‘the Quinta,’ on the old road from Llanfairfechan to Conway. They regard them as kitchen-midden refuse, as they were associated with bones of birds, bits of charcoal, and a sheep’s tooth. Traces of the foundations of huts were observed, but there was no remembrance remaining in the neighbourhood of any dwellings on the spot. , A second bed, in which the shells were extremely numerous, was observed in the Aber Valley, about 50 yards above the Bridge. It was exposed beneath the roots of a large tree which clung to the breached side of a fine terminal moraine, and the shell-bed presented the deceptive appearance of being overlaid by the materials of the moraine. The whole of the marine shells were of edible species, but it was remarked that the interior of a valve of Ostrea was encrusted with Polyzoa. The authors consider that both accumulations were brought together by human agency, and are of comparatively modern date. ~I ~I TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 7 8. A Map of the Esker Systems of Ireland. By Professor W. J. Soutas, D.Sc., F.R.S. {Communicated by permission of the Director-General of the Geological Survey. | Nowhere probably can the study of Kames or Eskers be more profitably under- taken than on the Central Plain of Ireland, over which they are strewn in count- less numbers. Hitherto they have been investigated rather individually than collectively, though, thanks to the careful mapping of the officers of the Geological Survey, the material for establishing their connection as members of great groups or systems lies ready to hand. Much, however, is to be learnt from the individual Esker. The current bedding of the masses of well-rounded pebbles and sand of which it is composed is such as to point to rapid accumulation in running water, while the numerous instances of irregular disturbance and ‘caving in’ can be most feasibly explained by the melt- ing of enclosed masses of ice. One of the most striking peculiarities of form is the steepness of the sides, which frequently approaches the angle of repose of the con- stituent material, and forces upon one the idea of the existence during deposition of a sustaining wall, by which the running water was prevented from distributing its load far and wide over the surrounding plains. Such a wall might conceivably have been furnished by a previous lateral extension of the Esker itself, since removed by river action, but such a supposition is unsupported by evidence. A more probable suggestion is that the support was furnished by ice, and that the Esker may represent a ‘ cast,’ as it were, of a glacier tunnel in gravel and sand. On this hypothesis all the known characters of Eskers find an explanation, and many inci- dental details, such as the long lakelet or shallow streams by which they are not unfrequently flanked. All explanations of Eskers depending on marine action may be summarily dis- missed, for not only do they fail to afford a single parallel instance to the point, but they are directly negatived by the universal absence of marine shells; of the thousands of existing Irish Eskers, not one has afforded a fragment of a contempo- raneous marine fossil, in spite of most persistent and careful search. Either, then, we must admit, on the hypothesis of an Esker sea, that marine shells were absent from its floor over the whole breadth of Ireland, and through a bathymetrical range of 300 feet, or that having once existed they have since entirely disappeared. One alternative is not more improbable than the other, as is shown by the frequent occurrence of fragmentary marine shells in the sands and gravels of the Middle Glacial Drift, as on Ballyedmonduff and elsewhere at elevations of over 1,000 feet. The fluviatile origin of Eskers, so ably advocated by the American geologists, Chamberlin, Lewis, and Wright, finds its strongest support in their relations to one another as parts of a system. In the map exhibited Eskers may be traced pursuing their winding, serpentine path for miles together, but at the same time with a convergence which ends frequently in their joining one by one together, like the tributaries of a river, to form a main stream. As with tributary rivers so here, the apices of the angles at the places of junction point in one general direc- tion, that of the general convergence. From individual ridges also small spurs are frequently given off, usually including an acute angle, which points in the same direction as those made by the main branches. When, as sometimes happens, the direction is reversed, signs are not wanting that this is the result of a ‘loop,’ such as is So common in the course of undulating streams, and of which the Shannon, as it winds among the Eskers, affords instructive examples for comparison. Accepting the fluviatile origin of Eskers, one may deduce from their present distribution that of the ancient drainage systems of the Irish glaciers. From the map two systems are clearly discernible, a smaller, corresponding to the glacier of Sligo and Roscommon, and the other vastly larger, embracing the whole Central Plain, with a general flow from west to east and a discharge probably by the basin of the Liffey. 778 REPORT—1893. 9. On some Shelly Clay and Gravel in North-east Aberdeenshire. By Ducatp Bett, F.G.S. This paper referred chiefly to a remarkable deposit of red clay, containing frag- ments of marine shells, which Mr. Jamieson, of Ellon, had described some years ago as occurring on the eastern border of Aberdeenshire, from sea-level up to about 300 feet.1 This clay seems to be derived, not from the rocks of the district, but from rocks farther south, viz., in the Old Red Sandstone of Kincardine and Forfarshire. In short, land-ice from the southward appears to have come along the coast, bringing with it this red clay and other débris from the Old Red forma- tion ; and this conclusion is confirmed by the strive on the projecting points along the coast. The cause of this remarkable movement of the ice was, of course, the ice- blocked condition of the North Sea, as suggested by the late Dr. Croll in connec- tion with Messrs. Peach and Horne’s admirable paper on the boulder clay of Caithness. But the difficulty with regard to this ‘fine red mud’ is that it seems to imply ‘deep or at least quiet water’ for its deposition. There is no evidence at the bottom of it of littoral mollusca, or of beach-sand and gravel between it and the underlying grey boulder clay of the district, so that ‘it looks as if still water of some depth had at once taken the place of the glacier.’ This Mr, Jamieson accounts for by supposing that ‘the ice did not break up till a considerable amount of submergence had occurred,’ that deep-sea water at once took the place of the glacier, and received from it the red mud with fragments of shells taken up by it from some part of the sea-bed over which it had passed; and that these settled down immediately on the surface of the grey boulder clay; and this process he imagines to have begun at the extremity of the northward- moving glacier, in the neighbourhood of Peterhead, and to have crept southward along the coast as the ice gradually broke up. To this there appear several weighty objections; but the one to be specially urged at present is this :—It was the ice-blocked condition of the North Sea that compelled the ice from the Old Red district to move northward along the coast from Stonehaven to Peterhead. As soon as this gave way the ice would un- doubtedly pass on eastward out to sea. Where would it most likely give way first—if not to the south? So that before—probably long before—it was open sea at Peterhead, it would be more free and open at Stonehaven. What, then, could make the ice go northward, hugging the coast to Peterhead? The dominating factor in the case was the ice-blocked condition of the North Sea. While this continued, there could not be the deep still water there to receive the clay ; when this ceased, there could not be the northward-moving glacier to bring the clay. There seems to be but one way out of this dilemma. If deep and compara- tively still water be required for the deposition of the clay, is it necessary to have recourse to a ‘ great submergence’ in order to obtain it? Must it be sea-water ? May it not have been accumulations of fresh-water caused by the ice passing across the transverse valleys and hollows, and so forming lakes along its margin wherein such sediments would accumulate? Mr. Jamieson has in the kindest and most candid way expressed his acceptance of this modification of his theory. This is exactly parallel to what has lately been made out by Mr. Lamplugh in the neighbourhood of Flamborough Head ;* and it is confirmed by the sagacious inference of the late Dr. Fleming, who, some fifty years ago, without knowing how such lakes could be formed, surmised that the clay had been deposited ‘in some immense lake into which the sea only made a temporary irruption.’ The author concluded by suggesting that this explanation might yet be found applicable to other localities, which had recently been the subject of investigation. 1 Quar.

De Rancz, F.G.8., of H.M. Geol. Survey. The author arrived at the following conclusions :— 1, The carving out of rock valleys has been mainly due to fluviatile action, operating before the Glacial period, when the land stood at least 300 feet higher above the sea-level than it does at present. 2. The valleys which lie below sea-level are entirely choked up by glacial drift, and absolutely concealed, and but for extensive boring operations their presence would never have been suspected. 3. The materials and irregular alternation of sequence of glacial material in the infra-sea-level valleys are identical with the character of the deposits above the sea-level. 4, There is now ample proof that these ‘choked-up’ valleys extend a con- siderable distance under the Irish Sea. 5. The glacial deposits extend up to 1,260 feet on the slopes of the Cumberland, Lancashire, Cheshire, and Oarnarvonshire hills, margined by erratic blocks of large size that extend further and rise higher than the drift, and form a‘ fringe’ deposit, such as has been described in the United States, marking the limit of the margin of the ice-sheet, the highest boulder in Cheshire occurring at 1,364 feet. 6. The glacial deposits consist of (a) tough dark till with local fragments in the neighbourhood of shales, especially of Coal-measure age; (4) clay with local angular fragments of sandstone and a few erratic pebbles; (c) boulder clay, a red or reddish-brown clay passing into marl, which when washed contains rounded and glaciated grains of sand, of erratic origin, which are microscopic specimens of like shape and like origin to the boulders that occur in the clay, and which range in size up to 12 feet; (d) sands and gravels: these contain fragments of marine shells, up to 1,260 feet : these fragments are water-worn, often striated, and are themselves erratics. The author has never found two valves of a bivalve united ; the species are representative of different ‘depth zones,’ and univalves contain sand or silt of a dif- ferent character from the sand by which they are surrounded. The sands also contain fragments of all sizes of boulder clay, often angular and ragged, as if torn off; the sands are generally current-bedded, but often show distinct signs of ‘ fluxion struc- pang have been apparently formed partly in freshwater lakes and partly under and-ice, 7. Deep borings and sinkings invariably give a series of these clays and sands, often repeated eight or ten times over; consequently it is obvious that, though a bed of sand in one area may divide a bed of clay into an ‘upper’ and a ‘lower boulder clay,’ it isnot only no¢ certain that such upper boulder clay is on the same horizon as the local upper boulder clay in an adjacent area, but it is exceedingly improbable that it should be so. 8. The average thickness of the alternations of boulder clay and sands is such that, as arule, the deepest Lancashire and Cheshire drift valleys of 80 to 150 feet disclose sections of the first three members of the series, and fully justify Professor Hull’s classification of an upper and lower boulder clay, divided by a middle sand and gravel, often called the ‘middle drift.’ Had the beds been thinner, the true succession would have at once been recognised as far more numerous than the three-fold sequence observed by Professor Hull. 9. The interior composition of a glacial drift mound, or of a drift plateau between two valleys, is nearly always delusive as regards the surface indications. A constant arrangement of the surface deposit in a drift mound is a base of boulder clay, a strip of sand, a wide slope of boulder clay, and a crest or ridge of sands and gravels. As arule it is at once obvious that the clay on the upper slope is overlying the sand and gravel of the ridge, but as a rule it is far less obvious that the clay at the foot of the slope is really not underlying, as at first sight seems apparent, but overlying the upper boulder clay, and is ‘ plastered’ over the sands and gravels of the mounds, which resemble in section the coats of an onion—beds of variable thickness of boulder clay surrounding and washing an internal core of sand and gravel. 780 REPORT—1893. 10. In upland valleys filled with ordinary boulder clay the surface of the clay is often obscurely ter7aced with descending gradients, corresponding to the floor of the bottom of the rock valley, and is apparently due to gigantic flood-waters, which at lower levels deposited glacio-fluviatile gravels, 100 feet above the level of existing streams. 11. The irregular original deposition of drift mounds upon a plain (also formed of drift) encloses what the late Mr. Mackintosh, F.G.S., called ‘ mere-basins,’ and the American ‘ kettle-holes’: they are areas in which the natural drainage is ob- structed, and formerly only flowed away by percolation through sand-banks at the sides. They were originally probably all tilled with more or less water. Many of these meres still remain in Lancashire and Cheshire, and vary in size from a few yards to more than a mile across. They are now all more or less artificially drained. The sites of a very large number are indicated by thick peat mosses. These constantly are found resting directly on sand, showing that the outfall of the water in the sands, at the time of the growth of the peat, was closed. 12. The more closely the surface of the drift-covered ground in relation to its origin is studied, the more recent does the termination of the glacial episode appear to he. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. The following Papers and Report were read :— 1. On the Distribution of Granite Boulders in the Clyde Valley. By Ducaup Bett, F.G.S. The object of this paper was to connect the granite boulders which are found in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, Helensburgh, Gonrock, &c., with a granitic tract recently described by Messrs. Teall and Dakyns, of the Geological Survey, as occurring in the mountainous region which lies between the head of Loch Fyne on the one hand and of Loch Lomond on the other (‘Quar. Jour. Geol. Soc.,’ May, 1892). This tract, which occupies about twelve square miles, contains at least two varieties of granite: a porphyritic variety, with large crystals of orthoclase, easily recognisable, and a non-porphyritic variety ; also, near its margin or junction with the mica schist, bands of tonalite and diorite. These varieties correspond with boulders found in the Clyde valley, especially in its western part, and along the shores of the various lochs that open out from it. The supposition put forth many years ago by Mr. Smith, of Jordanhill,! that these boulders had been transported from the Ben Cruachan district, was not borne out by the characteristics of the rocks, and was opposed to all that was now known regarding the general glacia- tion of the district. In harmony with that glaciation, however, boulders from the Glen Fyne tract referred to, dispersed by Loch Fyne, Loch Eck, and the Holy Loch ; by Loch Sloy, Loch Long, and the Gareloch ; and in a much smaller pro-: portion by Loch Lomond (the tract lying almost entirely to the western side of the watershed of that loch), could, it was evident, reach the various localities where they are now found. The author showed specimens of the granite referred to. 2. On the Derbyshire Toadstone. By H. Annoup-Bemross, M.A., F.G.S. Toadstone is a local name for the igneous rocks interbedded with the Carboni- ferous limestones of Derbyshire. It occurs in a district of 25 by 20 miles. The upper and lower portions of a bed are sometimes amygdaloidal. The spheroidal structure is often well marked, the columnar more seldom and less perfectly. Toadstone varies very much in the amount of weathering it has undergone. It ' Researches in Newer Pliocene and post-Tertiary Geology, pp. 12, 141. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION C. 781 often decomposes to a sort of clay containing nodules of less altered rock, so that it has been supposed that toadstone in some localities ‘replaces’ a bed of clay in others. For this reason, and also because of the loose way in which the word is used by miners, statements as to the number of beds of toadstone and of the presence or absence of ore in it must be accepted with reserve. Careful mapping over the whole district will be necessary to ascertain the actual number of beds. Two at least may be seen exposed in several places, and there may be three or even four beds. The Black Hillock shaft has been supposed to be one of the vents through which the toadstone came up to the surface, because the bottom of the rock was not reached. Farey, however, maintains that this bed was sunk through, and a careful examination of the mine heap and shaft shows that the dolerite is not coarse-grained, and that there is no trace of agglomerate or of tuff. An occurrence of lead ore in the toadstone of the Wakebridge mine was next de- scribed. The rock in whieh the ore occurred when examined under the microscope proved to be a decomposed olivine-dolerite. The ore was as good in the toadstone as in the limestone. That the toadstone is contemporaneous with the limestone is proved by it being interbedded with the latter, by the occurrence of stratified tufts in various parts of the district, and by the non-alteration of the beds immediately above the igneous rock, though in one or two places a clay bed below it has been caused to assume a columnar structure. Very many specimens have been coilected from all the outcrops of toadstone, which are some fifty in number, and many of them have been examined under the microscope. The lavas consist mainly of olivine-dolerite, the augite being both in ophitic plates and in irregularly shaped grains. The rock is much more fresh and less amygdaloidal than has been generally supposed. The tuffs are in some cases well preserved, and the outlines of the lapilli very clearly defined. The author hopes shortly to finish the examination of these rocks, and to offer the details to the Geological Society. 3. Note on the Perlitic Quartz Grains in Rhypolite. By W. W. Warts, M.A., F.G.S. [Communicated by permission of the Director-General of the Geological Survey.] The author exhibited specimens of that variety of the Sandy Braes Rhyolite from County Antrim which was formerly called Perlite. A microscopical exami- nation of the rock shows crystals of sanidine and grains of quartz embedded in a brown glass. The latter shows perlitic structure in great perfection. In addition, however, the grains of quartz exhibit a series of cracks, which are distinctly per- litic in character. ‘hus a structure which was supposed to be confined to glasses that have cooled rather rapidly is shown to occur rarely, but occasionally, in crys- tals. Hitherto only one case has been observed in which the cracks entered from the crystals to the matrix ; the perlitic cracks in the two constituents for the most part are independent. 4. On the Minute Structure of the Skeleton of ‘Monograptus Priodon.’ By Professor W. J. Souias, D.Sc., F.R.S. [Communicated by permission of the Director-General of the Geological Survey. ] Remains of Monograptus priodon in an exceptionally perfect state of preserva- tion occur in the Silurian limestone of Barnham Hill, Co. Tipperary, and are ex- hibited in the official collection of the Geological Survey in Dublin. These have been examined in thin slices under the microscope, and as a preliminary result the author describes the structure of the wall. Most of the sections are transverse and display the ccenosarcal canal and one hydrotheca ; they measure a little over 15 mm. along the greater, and about 1 mm. along the shorter axis. The wall, 0-025 mm. in thickness, consists of black 782 REPORT— 1893. carbonaceous material in a more or less fragmentary condition, but sufficiently continuous. to enable the existence of three layers to be determined: an outer and inner, which are very thin, separated by a space, now filled with calcite, from a thicker middle layer, which measures from 0:005 to 0:01 mm. across. The middle layer sometimes breaks up into threads, and the superficial films have a reticular appearance, which may, however, be due to post-mortem changes. In the region of the virgula and also along the free edges of the thece the wali thickens, partly by an enlargement of the space between the layers, and partly by a thickening of the middle layer. Thus, in one example the total thickness of the wall in the virgular region is 0:075 mm., and of the virgula itself, which represents the middle layer, 0°037 mm.; similarly at the margin of the theca the total thick- ness was found to be 0:085 mm., the included middle layer measuring 0:045 mm. Thin threads of carbonaceous material extend from the middle to the superficial layers, and are particularly obvious in the thickened regions. The virgula would appear to possess no independent existence; it seems to be merely a thickening of the middle layer. 5. Report on the Circulation of Underground Water. See Reports, p. 463.

Tristram, M.A., LL.D., D.D., F.R.S. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. [For the President’s Address see p. 784.] The following Reports and Papers were read :— 1. Report on the Zoology of the Sandwich Islands.—See Reports, p. 523. 2. On the Zoology of the Sandwich Islands. By D. Suarp, F.B.S, The islands were formerly supposed to be rich in plant and comparatively poor in animal life. But the progress of knowledge is modifying this latter view. In 1880 Wallace in ‘Island Life’ furnished the following statistics as to this archi- pelago—viz,: birds, 43 species, 24 of them peculiar to the islands; land and fresh- water mollusca, 300 or 400 species, all peculiar ; insects, scarcely anything known ; plants, 689 species, 377 peculiar. After one year’s investigation by the committees of the British Association and of the Royal Society, and incorporating the recent results of the work of private naturalists, the figures are: birds, 78 species, 57 of them peculiar; land and fresh- water mollusca, 475 species, all peculiar ; insects, 1,000 species, 700 of them peculiar ; plants (according to Hillebrand), 999 species, 653 peculiar (many of those not peculiar being introduced by man). But the investigations of the committees show that these results are very in- complete, at any rate in the case of the insects, which cannot be estimated at less than 3,000 species, 2,500 or 2,600 of the number being peculiar. These numbers in the case of the fauna are less than those of approximately similar areas in less insular parts. Devonshire has 84 resident species of birds and 30 summer migrants, The insects amount to about 6,000 species, and the land and fresh-water mollusca to 97 species, the vascular plants being about the same in number as those of the Sandwich Islands. But there has already been very great extinction in this latter area, much of it probably even before the discovery and appropriation of the islands by civilised man. The working of the British Association and of the Royal Society committees seems to offer the only chance of investigating the fauna. The native creatures are extremely difficult to find, and the usual inducements to sportsmen and collectors are wanting; while the small population and the absence of great centres of intel- lectual activity in the islands render it very improbable that the work will be accomplished by residents in the archipelago, though these might give very valuable assistance, 784 REPORT— 1893. 3.

Tristram, F.R.S., President of the Section, who was not able to attend the Meeting, was read by Sir W. H. Fuiower, K.C.B., F.R.S. Address :— Ir is difficult for the mind to grasp the advance in biological science (I nse the term biology in its wide etymological, not its recently restricted sense) which has taken place since I first attended the meetings of the British Association, some forty years ago. In those days, the now familiar expressions of ‘ natural selection,’ ‘isolation,’ ‘the struggle tor existence,’ ‘ the survival of the fittest,’ were unheard of and unknown, though many an observer was busied in culling the facts which were being poured into the lap of the philosopher who should mould the first great epoch in natural science since the days of Linnzus, It is to the importance and value of field observation that I would venture in the first place to direct your attention. My predecessors in this chair have been, of recent years, distinguished men who have searched deeply into the abstrusest mysteries of physiology. Thither I do not presume to follow them. I rather come before you as a survivor of the old- world naturalist, as one whose researches have been, not in the laboratory or with the microscope, but on the wide desert, the mountain side, and the isles of the sea. This year is the centenary of the death of Gilbert White, whom we may look upon as the father of field naturalists. It is true that Sir T. Browne, Willughby, and Ray had each, in the middle of the seventeenth century, committed various ob- servations to print; but though Willughby, at least, recognised the importance of the soft parts as well as the osteology, in affording a key to classification, as may be seen from his observation of the peculiar formation, in the Divers (Colymbide) of the tibia, with its prolonged procnemial process, of which he has given a figure, or his description of the elongation of the posterior hranches of the woodpecker's tongue, as well as by his careful description of the intestines of all specimens which came under his notice in the flesh, none of these systematically noted the habits of birds, apart from an occasional mention of their nidification, and very rarely do they even describe the eggs. But White was the first observer to recognise how much may be learnt from the life habits of birds. He is generally content with recording his observations, leaving to others to speculate. Fond of Virgilian quotations (he was a fellow of Oriel of the last century), his quotations are often made with a view to prove the scrupulous accuracy of the Roman poet, as tested by his (White’s) own observations. In an age, incredulous as to that which appears to break the uniformity of nature, but quick to recognise all the phenomena of life, a contrast arises before the mind’s eve between the abiding strength of the objective method, which brings Gilbert White in touch with the great writers whose works are for all time, and the transient feebleness of the modern introspective philosophies, vexed with the problems of psychology. The modern psychologist propounds his theory of man TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 789d and the universe, and we read him, and go on our way, and straightway forget. Herodotus and Thucydides tell a plain tale in plain language, or the Curate of Selborne shows us the hawk on the wing, or the snake in the grass, as he saw them day by day, and, somehow, the simple story lives and moves him who reads it long after the subtleties of this or that philosophical theory have had their day and assed into the limbo of oblivion. But, invaluable as has been the example of Gilbert White in teaching us how to observe, his field was a very narrow one, circumscribed for the most part by the boundaries of a single parish, and on the subject of geographical distribution (as we Inow it now) he could contribute nothing, a subject on which even the best explorers of that day were strangely inobservant and inexact. A century and a half ago, it had not come to be recog- nised that distribution is (along, of course, with morphology and physiology), a most important factor in determining the facts of biology. It is difficult to esti- mate what might have been gained in the case of many species, now irreparably lost, had Forster and the other companions of Captain Cook, to say nothing of many previous voyagers, had the slightest conception of the importance of noting the exact locality of each specimen they collected. They seem scarcely to have recognised the specific distinctions of the characteristic genera of the Pacific Islands at all, or, if they did, to have dismissed them with the remark, ‘ On this island was found a flycatcher, a pigeon, or a parrot similar to those found in New Holland, but with white tail-feathers instead of black, an orange instead of a scarlet breast, or red shoulders instead of yellow.’ As we turn over the pages of Latham or Shaw, how often do we find for locality ‘ one of the islands of the South Sea,’ and, even where the locality is given, subsequent research has proved it erroneous, as though the specimens had been subsequently ticketed ; as Le Vaillant described many of his South African birds from memory. Thus Latham, after describing very accurately Rhipidura flabellifera, from the south island of New Zealand, remarks, apparently on Forster’s authority, that it is subject to variation ; that in the island of Tanna another was met with, with a different tail, &c., and that there was another variety in the collection of Sir Joseph Banks. Endless per- plexity has been caused by the Pszttacus pygmeus of Gmelin (of which Latham’s type is at Vienna) being stated in the inventory as from Botany Bay, by Latham from Otaheite, and in his book as inhabiting several of the islands of the South Seas, and now it proves to be the female Psittacus palmarum from the New Hebrides. These are but samples of the confusion caused by the inaccuracies of the old voyagers. Had there been in the first crew who landed on the Island of Bourbon, I will not say a naturalist, but even a simple-hearted Leguat, to tell the artless tale of what he saw, or had there been among the Portuguese discoverers of Mauritius one who could note and describe the habits of its birds with the accuracy with which a Poulton could record the ways and doings of our Lepidoptera, how vastly would our knowledge of a perished fauna have been enriched! It is only since we learned from Darwin and Wallace the power of isolation in the differentiation of species that special attention has been paid to the peculiarities of insular forms. Here the field naturalist comes in as the helpful servant of the philosopher and the systematist by illustrating the operation of isolation in the differentiation of species. I may take the typical examples of two groups of oceanic islands, differ- ing as widely as possible in their position on the globe—the Sandwich Islands in the centre of the Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, and the Canaries, within sight of the African coast—but agreeing in this, that both are truly oceanic groups, of purely volcanic origin, the ocean depths close to the Canaries, and be- tween the different islands, varying from 1,500 to 2,000 fathoms. In the one we may study the expiring relics of an avifauna completely differentiated by isolation ; in the other we have the opportunity of tracing the incipient stages of the same process. The Sandwich Islands have long been known as possessing an avifauna not surpassed in interesting peculiarity by that of New Zealand or Madagascar; in fact, it seems as though their vast distance from the continent had intensified the influences of isolation, There is scarcely a passerine bird in its indigenous fauna which can be referred to any genus known elsewhere. But, until the very recent 1893. 3E 786 REPORT—1893. researches of Mr. Scott Wilson, and the explorations of the Honourable W. Roth- schild’s collectors, it was not known that almost every island of the group possessed one or more representatives of each of these peculiar genera. Thus, every island which has been thoroughly explored, and in which any extent of the primeval forest remains, possesses, or has possessed, its own peculiar species of Hemzgnathus, Himatione, Pheornis, Acrulocercus, Loxops, Drepanis, as well as of the massive- beaked finches, which emulate the Geospiza of the Galapagos. Professor Newton has shown that while the greater number of these are, probably, of American origin, yet the South Pacific has contributed its quota to this museum of ornitho- logical rarities, which Mr. Clarke very justly proposes to make a distinct biological sub-region. That each of the islands of this group, however small, should possess a flora specifically distinct suggests thoughts of the vast periods occupied in their differen- tiation. In the Canary Islands, either because they are geologically more recent, or because of their proximity to the African coast, which has facilitated frequent immigrations from the continent, the process of differentiation is only partially accomplished. Yet there is scarcely a resident species which is not more or less modified, and this modification is yet further advanced in the westernmost islands than in those nearest to Africa. In Fuertaventura and Lanzarote, waterless and treeless, there is little change, and the fauna is almost identical with that of the neighbouring Sahara. There is a whin-chat, Pratincola dacotie, discovered by my companion, Mr. Meade-Waldo, peculiar to Fuertaventura, which may possibly be found on the opposite coast, though it has not yet been met with by any collectors there. Now, our whin-chat is a common winter visitant all down the West African coast, and it seems probable that isolation has produced the very marked characters of the Canarian form, while the continental individuals have been restrained from variation by their frequent association with their migratory relations. A similar cause may explain why the blackbird, an extremely common resident in all the Canary Islands, has not been modified in the least, since many migratory indi- viduals of the same species sojourn every winter in the islands. Or take the blue titmouse. Our familiar resident is replaced along the coast of North Africa by a representative species, Parus ultramarinus, differentiated chiefly by a black instead of a blue cap, and a slate-coloured instead of a green back. The titmouse of Lan- zarote and Fuertaventura is barely separable from that of Algeria, but is much smaller and paler, probably owing to scarcity of food and a dry desert climate. Passing, 100 miles further to sea, to Grand Canary, we find in the woods and forests a bird in all respects similar to the Algerian in colour and dimensions, with one ex- ception—the greater wing coverts of the Algerian are tipped with white, forming a broad bar when the wing is closed. This, present in the Fuertaventura form, is re- resented in the Canarian by the faintest white tips, and in the birds from the next islands, Tenerife and Gomera, this is altogether absent. This form has been recog- nised as Parus tenerife. Proceeding to the north-west outermost island, Palma, we find a very distinct species, with different proportions, a longer tail, and white abdomen instead of yellow. In the Ultima Thule, Hierro, we find a second very distinct species, resembling that of Tenerife in the absence of the wing bar and in all other respects, except that the back is green like the European, instead of slate as in all the other species. Thus we find in this group a uniform graduation of yariation as we proceed further from the cradle of the race. A similar series of modifications may be traced in the chaffinch (Fringilla), which has been in like manner derived from the North African F. spodiogena, and in which the extreme variation is to be found in the westernmost islands of Palma and Hierro. The willow wren (Phylloscopus trochilus), extremely numerous and. zesident, has entirely changed its habits, though not its plumage, and I have felt justified in distinguishing it as Ph. fortunatus, In note and habits it is entirely different from our bird, and though it builds a domed nest it is always near the top of lofty trees, most frequently in palm-trees. The only external difference from our bird consists in its paler tarsi and more rounded wing, so that its power of flight is weaker, but, were it not for the marked difference in its habits and voice, TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 787 A should have hesitated to differentiate it. In the kestrel and the great spotted woodpecker there are differences which suggest incipient species, while the forests -of the wooded western islands yield two very peculiar pigeons, differing entirely from each other in their habits, both probably derived from our wood-pigeon, but even further removed from it than the Columba trocaz of Madeira, and, by their dark chestnut coloration, suggesting that peculiar food—in this case the berries of the tree Jaurel—has its full share in the differentiation of isolated forms, If we remember -the variability of the pigments in the food of birds, and the amount absorbed and transferred to the skin and plumage, the variability in the tints and patterns of many animals can be more readily understood. One other bird deserves notice, the Caccabis, or red-legzed partridge, for here, and here alone, we have chronological data. The Spaniards introduced Caccabis rufa into Canary, and C. petrosa into Tenerife and Gomera, and they have never spread from their respective localities. Now, both species, after a residence of only 400 years, have become distinctly modified. C.7wfa was introduced into the Azores also, and changed exactly in the same manner, so much so that Mr. Godman, some years ago, would have described it as distinct, but that the only specimen he procured was in moult and mutilated, and his specimen proves identical with the Canarian bird. Besides minor differences, the beak is one-fourth stouter and longer than in the European bird, the tarsus very much stouter and longer, and the back is grey rather than russet. The grey back harmonises with the volcanic dark soil of the rocks of the Canaries, as the russet does with the clay of the plains of England and France. In the Canaries the bird lives under different conditions from those of Europe. It is on the mountain sides and among rocks that the stouter beak and stronger legs are indispensable to its vigorous existence. It is needless to go into the details of many other species. We have here the effect of changed conditions of life in 400 years. What may they not have been in 4000 centuries? We have the result of peculiar food in the pigeons, and of isolation in all the cases I have mentioned. Such facts can only be supplied to the generaliser and the systematist through the accurate and minute observations of the field naturalist. The character of the avifauna of the Comoro Islands, to take another insular group, seems to stand midway in the differentiating process between the Canaries and the Sandwich Islands. From the researches of M. Humblot, worked out by MM. Milne-Edwards and Oustalet, we find that there are twenty-nine species acknowledged as peculiar ; two species from South Africa and twenty-two from Madagascar in process of specification, called by M. Milne-Edwards secondary or derived species. The little Christmas Island, an isolated rock 200 miles south of Java, only 12 miles in length, has been shown by Mr. Lister to produce distinct and peculiar forms of every class of life, vegetable and animal. Though the species are few in number, yet every mammal and land bird is endemic; but, as Darwin remarks, to ascertain whether a small isolated area, or a large open area like a continent, has been more favourable for the production of new organic forms, we ought to make the comparison between equal times, and this we are incapable of doing. My own attention was first directed to this subject when, in the year 1857-58, I spent many months in the Algerian Sahara, and noticed the remarkable variations in different groups, according to elevation from thesea, and the difference of soil and vegetation. The ‘Origin of Species’ had not then appeared; but on my return my attention was called to the communication of Darwin and Wallace to the Linnean Society on the tendencies of species to form varieties, and on the perpetua- tion of varieties and species by means of natural selection. I then wrote:! ‘It is hardly possible, I should think, to illustrate this theory better than by the larks and chats of North Africa. In all these, in the congeners of the wheatear, of the rock chat, of the crested lark, we trace gradual modifications of coloration and of anatomical structure, deflecting by very gentle gradations from the ordinary type, but, when we take the extremes, presenting the most marked differences. . , . In the desert, where neither trees, brushwood, nor even undulations of surface 1 This, 1859, pp. 429-433. : 352 788 REPORT—1893. afford the slightest protection to an animal from its foes, a modification of colour, which shall be assimilated to that of the surrounding country, is absolutely necessary. Hence, without exception, the upper plumage of every bird—whether lark, chat, sylviad or sand-grouse —and also the fur of all the small mammals, and the skin of all the snakes and lizards, is of the uniform isabelline or sand-colour. It is very possible that some further purpose may be served by the prevailing colours, but this appears of itself a sufficient explanation. There are individual varieties of depth of hue among all creatures. In the struggle for life which we know to be going on among all species,a very slight change for the better, such as im- proved means of escape from its natural enemies (which would be the effect of an alteration from a conspicuous colour to one resembling the hue of the surrounding objects), would give the variety that possessed it a decided advantage over the typical or other forms of the species. . . . To apply the theory to the case of the Sahara. If the Algerian Desert were colonised by a few pairs of crested larks— putting aside the ascertained fact of the tendency of an arid, hot chmate to bleach all dark colours—we know that the probability is that one or two pairs would be likely to be of a darker complexionthan the others. These, and such of their offspring as most resembled them, would become more liable to capture by their natural enemies, hawks and carnivorous beasts. The lighter-coloured ones would enjoy more or less immunity from such attacks. Let this state of things continue for a few hundred years, aud the dark-coloured individuals would be exterminated, the light-coloured remain and inherit the land. This process, aided by the above- mentioned tendency of the climate to bleach the coloration still more, would in a few centuries produce the Galerita abyssinica as the typical form; and it must be noted that between it and the European G. cristata there is no distinction but that of colour, ‘But when we turn to Galerita tsabellina, G. arenicola, and G. macrorhyncha, we have differences, notonly of colour, but of structure. These differences are most marked in the form of the bill. Now, to take the two former first, G. arenicola has a very long bill, G. isabellina a very short one; the former resorts exclusively to the deep, loose, sandy tracts, the latter haunts the hard and rocky districts. It is manifest that a bird whose food has to be sought for in deep sand derives a great advantage from any elongation, however slight, of its bill. The other, who feeds among stones and rocks, requires strength rather than length. We know that even in the type species the size of the bill varies in individuals—in the lark as well as in the snipe. Now, in the desert, the shorter-billed varieties would undergo comparative difficulty in finding food where it was not abundant, and con- sequently would not be in such vigorous condition as their longer-billed relations. In the breeding season, therefore, they would have fewer eggs and a weaker progeny. Often, as we know, a weakly bird will abstain from matrimony alto- gether. The natural result of these causes would be that in course of time the longest-billed variety would steadily predominate over the shorter, and, in a few centuries, they would be the sole existing race; their shorter-billed fellows dying out until that race was extinct. The converse will still hold good of the stout- billed and weaker-billed varieties in a rocky district. ‘Here are only two causes enumerated which might serve to create, as it were, a new species from an old one. Yet they are perfectly natural causes, and such as I think must have occurred, and are possibly occurring still. We know so very little of the causes which, in the majority of cases, make species rare or common that there may be hundreds of others at work, some even more powerfal than these, which go to perpetuate and eliminate certain forms “ according to natural means of selection.”’ It would appear that those species in continental areas are equally liable to variation with those which are isolated in limited areas, yet that there are many counteracting influences which operate to check this tendency. It is often assumed, where we find closely allied species apparently interbreeding at the centre of their area, that the blending of forms is caused by the two racescommingling. Judging from insular experience I should be inclined to believe that the theory of inter- breeding is beginning at the wrong end, but rather that while the generalised forms TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 789 remain in the centre of distribution we find the more decidedly distinct species at the extremes of the range, caused not by interbreeding, but by differentiation. To illustrate this by the group of the blue titmouse. We find in Central Russia, in the centre of distribution of the family, the most generalised form, Parus pleskit, _ partaking of the characters of the various species east, west, and south. In the north-east and north it becomes differentiated as P. cyaneus; to the south-west and west into P. ceruleus and its various sub-species, while a branch extending due east has assumed the form of P. flavipectus, bearing traces of affinity to its eee P. cyaneus in the north, which seems evidently to have been derived rom it. But the scope of field observation does not cease with geographical distribu- tion and modification of form. The closet systematist is very apt to overlook or to take no count of habits, voice, modification, and other features of life which have an important bearing on the modification of species. ‘I'o take one instance, the short-toed lark (Calandrella brachydactyla) is spread over the countries border- ing on the Mediterranean ; but, along with it, in Andalusia alone is found another species, C. betica, of a rather darker colour, and with the secondaries generally somewhat shorter. Without further knowledge than that obtained from a com- parison of skins, it might be put down as an accidental variety. But the field naturalist soon recognises it as a most distinct species. It has a different voice, a differently shaped nest; and, while the common species breeds in the plains, this one always resorts to the hills. The Spanish shepherds on the spot recognise their distinctness, and have a name for each species. Take, again, the eastern form of the common song-thrush. The bird of North China, Turdus auritus, closely resembles our familiar species, but is slightly larger, and there is a minute differ- ence in the wing formula. But the field naturalist has ascertained that it lays eges like those of the missel-thrush, and it is the only species closely allied to our bird which does not lay eges of a blue ground colour. The hedge accentor of Japan (Accentor rubidus) is distinguished from our most familiar friend, Accentor modularis, by delicate differences of hue. But, though in gait and manner it closely resembles it, I was surprised to find the Japanese bird strikingly distinct in habits and life, being found only in forest and brushwood several thousand feet above the sea. I met with it first at Chiusenze—6,000 feet—hbefore the snow had left the ground, and in summer it goes higher still, but never descends to the cultivated land. If both species are derived, as seems probable, from Accentor immaculatus of the Himalayas, then the contrast in habits is easily explained. The lofty mountain ranges of Japan have enabled the settlers there to retain their original habits, for which our humbler elevations have afforded no scope. On the solution of the problem of the migration of birds, the most remarkable of all the phenomena of animal life, much less aid has been contributed by the observations of field naturalists than might reasonably have been expected. ‘The facts of migration have, of course, been recognised from the earliest times, and have afforded a theme for Hebrew and Greek poets 3,000 years ago. Theories which would explain it are rife enough, but it is only of late years that any systematic effort has been made to classify and summarise the thousands of data and notes which are needed in order to draw any satisfactory conclusion. The observable facts may be classified as to their bearing on the Whither, When, and How of migration, and after this we may possibly arrive at a true answer to the Why? Observation has sufficiently answered the first question, Whither ? There are scarcely any feathered denizens of earth or sea to the summer and winter ranges of which we cannot now point. Of almost all the birds of the holo- arctic fauna, we have ascertained the breeding-places and the winter resorts. Now that the knot and the sanderling have been successfully pursued even to Grinnell Land, there remains but the curlew sandpiper (Zringa subarquata), of all the known European birds, whose breeding ground is a virgin soil, to be trodden, let us hope, in a successful exploration by Nansen, on one side or other of the North Pole. Equally clearly ascertained are the winter quarters of all the migrants. The most casual observer cannot fail to notice in any part of Africa, north or south, west coast or interior, the myriads of familiar species which winter there, 790 REPORT—1893. As to the time of migration, the earliest notes of field naturalists have been the: records of the dates of arrival of the feathered visitors. We possess them for some localities, as for Norfolk by the Marsham family, so far back as 1736. In recent years these observations have been carried out on a larger and more systematic scale by Middendorff, who, forty years ago, devoted himself to the study of the lines of migration in the Russian Empire, tracing what he called the isopipteses, the lines of simultaneous arrival of particular species; and by Professor Palmén, of Finland, who, twenty years later, pursued a similar course of investiga- tion; by Professor Baird on the migration of North American birds; and sub- sequently by Severtzoff as regards Central Asia, and Menzbier as regards Eastern Europe. As respects our own coasts, a vast mass of statistics has been collected by the labours of the Migration Committee-appointed by the British Association in 1880, for which our thanks are due to the indefatigable zeal of Mr. John Cordeaux, and his colleague Mr. John Harvie Brown, the originators of the scheme by which the lighthouses were for nine years used as posts of observation on migration. The reports of that Committee are familiar to us, but the inferences are not yet worked out. I cannot but regret that the Committee has been allowed to drop. Professor W. W. Cooke has been carrying on similar observations in the Mississippi valley, and others, too numerous to mention, have done the same else- where. But, as Professor Newton has truly said, All these efforts may be said to pale before the stupendous amount of information amassed during more than tifty years by the venerable Herr Giitke of Heligoland, whose work we earnestly desire may soon appear in an English version. We have, through the labours of the writers I have named, and many others, arrived at a fair knowledge of the When? of migration. Of the How? we have ascertained a little, but very little. The lines of migration vary widely in different species, and in different longitudes. The theory of migration being directed towards the magnetic pole, first started by Middendorff, seems to be refuted by Baird, who has shown that in North America the theory will not hold. Yet, in some instances, there is evidently a converging tendency in northward migrations. The line, according to Middendorff, in Middle Siberia is due north, in Eastern Siberia S.E. to N.W., and in Western Siberia from S.W. to N.E. In European Russia Menzbier traces four northward routes: (1) A coast line coming up from Norway round the North Cape to Nova Zembla. (2) The Baltic line with bifur- cation, one proceeding by the Gulf of Bothnia, and the other by the Gulf of Finland, which is afterwards again subdivided. (3) A Black Sea line, reaching nearly as far north as the valley of the Petchora. (4) The Caspian line, passing up the Volga and reaching as far east as the valley of the Obi by other anastomosing streams. Palmén has endeavoured to trace the lines of migration on the return autumnal journey in the eastern hemisphere, and has arranged them in nine routes: (1) From Nova Zembla, round the west of Norway, to the British Isles. (2) From Spitzbergen, by Norway, to Britain, France, Portugal, and West Africa. (3) From North Russia, by the Gulf of Finland, Holstein, and Holland, and then bifurcating to the west coast of France on the one side, and on the other up the Rhine to Italy and North Africa. (4 a) Down the Volga by the Sea of Azof, Asia Minor, and Egypt, while the other portion (4 4), trending east, passes by the Caspian and Tigris to the Persian Gulf. (5) By the Yenesei to Lake Baikal and Mongolia. (6) By the Lena on to the Amoor and Japan. (7) From East Siberia to the Corea and Japan. (8) Kamschatka to Japan and the Chinese coast. (9) From Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroes to Britain, where it joins line 2. tas All courses of rivers of importance form minor routes, and consideration of these lines of migration might serve to explain the fact of North American stragglers, the waifs and strays which have fallen in with great: flights:of the regular migrants having been more frequently shot on the east coast of England and Scotland than on the west coast or in Ireland. They have not crossed the Atlantic, but have come from the far-north, where a very slight deflection east or west might alter their whole course, and. in that:case. they. would:maturally TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 791 strike either Iceland or the west coast of Norway, and in either case would reach the east coast of Britain. But if, by storms and the prevailing winds of the North Atlantic coming from the west, they had been driven out of their usual course, they would strike the coast of Norway, and so find their way hither in the company of their congeners. As to the elevation at which migratory flights are carried on, Herr Giitke, as well as many American observers, holds that it is generally far above our ken, at least in normal conditions of the atmosphere, and that the opportunities of observa- tion, apart from seasons and unusual atmospheric disturbance, are confined chiefly to unsuccessful and abortive attempts. It is maintained that the height of flight is some 1,500 to 15,000 feet, and if this be so, as there seems every reason to admit, the aid of land bridges and river valleys becomes of very slight importance. A trivial instance will illustrate this. There are two species of blue-throat, Cyanecula suecica and C. leucocyana: the former with its red-breast patch is abun- dant in Sweden in summer, but is never found in Germany, except most acciden- tally, and the other isthe common form of Central Europe. Yet both are abundant in Egypt and Syria, where they winter, and I have, on several occasions, obtained both species out of the same flock. Hence we infer that the Swedish bird makes its journey from its winter quarters with scarcely a halt, while the other proceeds leisurely to its nearer summer quarters. On the other hand, I have more than once seen myriads of swallows, martins, sand-martins, and, later in the season, swifts passing up the Jordan Valley and along the Bukaa of Central Syria at so slight an elevation that I was able to distinguish at once whether the flight consisted of swallows or of house-martins, This was in perfectly calm clear weather. One stream of swallows, certainly not less than a quarter of a mile wide, occupied more than half an hour in passing over one spot, and flights of house-martins, and then of sand-martins, the next day were scarcely less numerous. These flights must have been straight up from the Red Sea, and may have been the general assembly of all those which had wintered in Kast Africa. I cannot think that these flights were more than 1,000 feet high. On the other hand, when standing on the highest peak in the Island of Palma, 6,500 feet, with a dense mass of clouds beneath us, leaving nothing of land or sea visible, save the distant Peak of Tenerife, 13,000 feet, I have watched a flock of Cornish choughs soaring above us, till at length they were absolutely undistinguishable by us except with field- lasses. : As to the speed with which the migration flights are accomplished, they require much further observation. Herr Gatke maintains that godwits and plovers can fly at the rate of 240 miles an hour (!), and the late Dr. Jerdon stated that the spine-tailed swift (Acanthylis caudacutus), roosting in Ceylon, would reach the Himalayas (1,200 miles) before sunset. Certainly in their ordinary flight the swift is the only bird I have ever noticed to outstrip an express train on the Great Northern Railway. Observation has shown us that, while there is a regular and uniform migration in the case of some species, yet that, beyond these, there comes a partial migration of some species, immigrants and emigrants simultaneously, and this, besides the familiar vertical emigration from higher to lower altitudes and vice versd, as in the familiar instances of the lapwing and golden plover. There is still much scope for the field naturalist in observation of these partial migrations. There are also species in which some individuals migrate and someare sedentary. E.y., in the few primeval forests which still remain in the Canary Islands, and which are en- shrouded in almost perpetual mist, the woodcock is sedentary, and not uncommon. I have often put up the bird and seen the eggs; but in winter the number is vastly increased, and the visitors are easily to be distinguished from the residents by their lighter colour and larger size. The resident never leaves the cover of the dense forest, where the growth of ferns and shrubs is perpetual, and fosters a ‘moist, rich, semi-peaty soil, in which the woodcock finds abundant food all the year, and has thus lost its migratory instincts. ‘But why do birds migrate? Observation has brought to light many facts which seem to increase the difficulties of a satisfactory answer to the question. The 792 REPORT—1 893. autumnal retreat from the breeding quarters might be explained by a want of sufficient sustenance as winter approaches in the higher latitudes, but this will not account for the return migration in spring, since there is no perceptible diminution of supplies in the winter quarters. A friend of mine, who was for some time stationed as a missionary at Kikombo, on the high plateau south-east of Victoria * Nyanza Lake, almost under the equator, where there is no variation in the seasons, wrote to me that from November to March the country swarmed with swallows and martins, which seemed to the casual observer to consist almost wholly of our three species, though occasionally a few birds of different type might be noticed in the larger flocks. Towards the end of March, without any observable change in climatic or atmospheric conditions, nine-tenths of the birds suddenly disappeared, and only a sprinkling remained. These, which had previously been lost amid the myriad of winter visitants, seemed to consist of four species, of which I received specimens of two, Hirwndo puella and H. senegulensis. One, described as white underneath, is probably H. ethiopica; and the fourth, very small, and quite black, must be a Psalidoprocne. All these remained through spring and summer. The northward movement of all the others must be through some impulse not yet ascertained. In many other instances observa- tion has shown that the impulse of movement is not dependent on the weather at the moment. This is especially the case with sea birds. Professor Newton observes they can be trusted as the almanack itself. Foul weather or fair, heat or cold, the puffins, F'ratercula arctica, repair to some of their stations punctually on a given day, as if their movements were regulated by clockwork. In like manner, whether the summer be cold or hot, the swifts leave their summer home in England about the first week in August, only occasional stragglers ever being seen after that date. So in three different years in Syria I noticed the appearance of the common swift (Cypselus apus) in myriads on one day in the first week in April. In the case of almost all the land birds, it has been ascer- tained by repeated observations that the male birds arrive some days before the hens. I do not think it is proved that they start earlier ; but, being generally stronger than the females, it is very natural that they should outstrip their weaker mates, I think, too, that there is evidence that those species which have the most extended southerly have also the most extended northerly range. The same may hold good of individuals of the same species, and may be accounted for by, or account for, the fact that, e.g., the individuals of the wheatear or of the willow wren which penetrate furthest north have longer and stronger wings than those individuals which terminate their journey in more southern latitudes. The length of wing of two specimens of Saxzcola wnanthe in my collection from Greenland and Labrador exceeds by ‘6 inch the length of British and Syrian specimens, and the next longest, exceeding them by ‘6 inch, is from the Gambia. So the sedentary Phylloscopus trochilus of the Canaries has a perceptibly shorter wing than European specimens. To say that migration is performed by instinct is no explanation of the mar- vellous faculty, it is an evasion of the difficulty. Professor Mobius holds that birds crossing the ocean may be guided by observing the rolling of the waves, but this will not hold good in the varying storms of the Atlantic, still less in the vast stretch of stormy and landless ocean crossed by the bronze cuckoo (Chrysococcyx lucidus) in its passage from New Guinea to New Zealand. Professor Palmén ascribes the due performance of the flight to experience, but this is not confirmed by field observers, He assumes that the flights are led by the oldest and strongest, but observation by Herr Giitke has shown that among migrants, as the young and old journey apart and by different routes, the former can have had no experience. All ornithologists are aware that the parent cuckoos leave this country long before their young ones are hatched by their foster-parents. The sense of sight cannot guide birds which travel by night, or span oceans or continents in a single flight. In noticing all the phenomena of migration, there yet remains a vast untilled region for the field naturalist. What Professor Newton terms ‘the sense of direction, unconsciously exercised,’ is the nearest approach yet made to a solution of the problem, He remarks TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 793 how vastly the sense of direction varies in human beings, contrasting its absence in the dwellers in towns compared with the power of the shepherd and the countryman, and, infinitely more, with the power of the savage or the Arab. He adduces the experience of Middendorff among the Samojeds, who know how to reach their goal by the shortest way through places wholly strange to them. He had known it among dogs and horses (as we may constantly perceive), but was surprised to find the same incomprehensible animal faculty unweakened among uncivilised men. Nor could the Samojeds understand his inquiry how they did it. They disarmed him by the question, How now does the arctic fox find its way aright on the Tundra, and never go astray ? and Middendorff adds: ‘I was thrown back on the unconscious performance of an inherited animal faculty ;’ and so are we ! There is one more kind of migration, on which we know nothing, and where the field naturalist has still abundant scope for the exercise of observation. I mean what is called exceptional migration, not the mere wanderings of waifs and strays, nor yet the uncertain travels of some species, as the crossbill in search of food, but the colonising parties of many gregarious species, which generally, so far as we know in our own hemisphere, travel from east to west, or from south-east to north-west. Such are the waxwing (Ampelis garrula), the pastor starling (Pastor roseus) and Pallas’s sandgrouse, after intervals sometimes of many years, or sometimes for two or three years in succession. The waxwing will overspread Western Europe in winter for a short time. It appears to be equally inconstant in its choice of summer quarters, as was shown by J. Wolley in Lapland. The rose pastor regularly winters in India, but never remains to breed. For this purpose the whole race seems to collect and travel north-west, but rarely, or after intervals of many years, returns to the same quarters. Verona, Broussa, Smyrna, Odessa, the Dobrudscha, have all during the last half-century been visited for one summer by tens of thousands, who are attracted by the visitations of locusts, on which they feed, rear their young, and go. These irruptions, how- ever, cannot be classed under the laws of ordinary migration. Not less inexpli- cable are such migrations as those of the African darter, which, though never yet observed to the north of the African lakes, contrives to pass, every spring, unob- served to the lake of Antioch in North Syria, where I found a large colony rearing their young; and which, so soon as their progeny was able to fly, disappeared to the south-east as suddenly as they had arrived. There is one possible explanation of the sense of direction unconsciously exer- cised, which I submit as a working hypothesis, We are all aware of the instinct, strong both in mammals and birds without exception, which attracts them to the place of their nativity. When the increasing cold of the northern regions, in which they all had their origin, drove the mammals southward, they could not retrace their steps, because the increasing polar sea, as the arctic continent sank, barred their way. The birds reluctantly left their homes as winter came on, and followed the supply of food. But as the season in their new residence became hotter in summer, they instinctively returned to their birthplaces, and there reared their young, retiring with them when the recurring winter impelled them to seek a warmer climate. Those species which, unfitted for a greater amount of heat by their more protracted sojourn in the northern regions, per- sisted in revisiting their ancestral homes, or getting as near to them as they could, retained a capacity for enjoying a temperate climate, which, very gra- dually, was lost by the species which settled down more permanently in their new quarters, and thus alaw of migration became established on the one side, and sedentary habits on the other. If there be one question on which the field naturalist may contribute, as lion’s provider to the philosopher, more than another, it is on the now much disputed topic of ‘mimicry,’ whether protective or aggressive. As Mr. Beddard has re- ‘marked on this subject, ‘ The field of hypothesis has no limits, and what we need is more study ’—and may we not add, more accurate observation of facts? The theory of protective mimicry was first propounded by Mr. H. W. Bates, from his ‘observations on the Amazon. He found that the group of butterflies, Heliconiide, conspicuously banded with yellow and black, were provided with certain glands 794 REPORT— 1893. which secrete a nauseating fluid, supposed to render them unpalatable to birds. In the same districts he found also similarly coloured butterflies, belonging to the family Pieride, which so closely resembled the others in shape and markings as to be easily mistaken for them, but which, unprovided with such secreting glands, were unprotected from the attacks of birds. This resemblance, he thought, was brought about by natural selection for the protection of the edible butterflies, through the birds mistaking them for the inedible kinds. Other cases of mimicry among a great variety of insects have since been pointed out, and the theory of protective mimicry has gained many adherents. Among birds, many instances have been adduced, Mr. Wallace has described the extraordinary similarity be- tween birds of very different families, Oriolus bourwensis and Philemon moluc- censis, both peculiar to the island of Bouru. Mr. H. O. Forbes has discovered a similar brown oriole, Oriolus decipiens, as closely imitating the appearance of the Philemon timorlautensis of Timor-laut. A similar instance occurs in Ceram. But Mr. Wallace observes that, while usually the mimicking species is less numerous than the mimicked, the contrary appears to be the case in Bouru, and it is difficult to see what advantage has been gained by the mimicry. Now, all the species of Philemon are remarkably sombre-coloured birds, and the mimicry cannot be on their side. But there are other brown orioles, very closely resembling those named, in other Moluccan islands, and yet having no resemblance to the Philemon of the same island, as may be seen in the case of the Oriolus pheochromus and Philemon gilolensis from Gilolo. Yet the oriole has adopted the same livery which elsewhere is a perfect mimicry. May it not therefore be that we have, in this group of brown orioles, the original type of the family, undifferentiated? As they spread east and south we may trace the gradation, through the brown striation of the New Guinea bird, to the brighter, green-tinged form of the West Australian and the green plumage of the Southern Australian, while westward the brilliant yellows of the numerous Indian and African species were developed, and another group, preferring high elevations, passing through the mountain ranges of Java, Sumatra, and Borneo, intensified the aboriginal brown into black, and hence were evolved the deep reds of the various species which culminate in the crimson of Formosa, Orzolus ardens, and the still deeper crimson of O. trailli of the Himalayas. It is possible that there may be similarity without mimicry, and, by the five laws of mimicry as laid down by Wallace, very many suggested cases must be eliminated. We all know that it is quite possible to find between species of very different genera extraordinary similarity which is not mimetic. Take, for instance, the remarkable identity of coloration in the case of some of the African species Macronyx and the American Stwinella, or, again, of some of the African Cam- pophage and the American Ageleus. The outward resemblance occurs in both cases in the red as well as in the yellow-coloured species of all four groups. But we find that the Macronya of America and the Campophage of Africa, in acquiring this coloration, have departed widely from the plain colour found in their immediate relatives. If we applied Mr. Scudder’s theory on insects, we must imagine that the prototype form has become extinct, while the mimicker has established its position. This is an hypothesis which is easier to suggest than either to prove or to disprove. Similar cases may frequently be found in botany. The strawberry is not indigenous in Japan, but in the mountains there I found a potentilla in fruit which absolutely mimicked the Alpine strawberry in the minutest particulars, in its runners, its blossoms, and fruit; but the fruit was simply dry pith, supporting the seeds and retaining its colour without shrinking or falling from the stalk for weeks—a remarkable case, we cannot say of unconscious ‘mimicry, but of unconscious resemblance. Mimicry in birds is comparatively rare, and still rarer in mammals, which is not surprising when we consider how small is the total number of the mammalia, and even of birds, compared with the countless species of invertebrates, Out of the vast assemblage of insects, with their varied colours and patterns, it would be strange if there were not many cases of accidental resemblance, A strict application of Wallace’s five laws would, perhaps; if all the ‘circumstances were known, eliminate many accepted instances. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 795 As to cases of edible insects mimicking inedible, Mr. Poulton admits that even unpalatable animals have their special enemies, and that the enemies of palatable animals are not indefinitely numerous. Mr. Beddard gives tables of the results obtained by Weismann, Poulton, and others, which show that it is impossible to lay down any definite law upon the subject, and that the likes and dislikes of insect-eating animals are purely relative. One of the most interesting cases of mimicry is that of the Volucella, a genus of Diptera, whose larvee live on the larve of Hymenoptera, and of which the perfect insect closely resembles some species of humble-bee. Though this fact is unquestioned, yet it has recently given rise to a controversy, which, so far as one who has no claim to be an entomologist can judge, proves that, while there is much that can be explained by mimicry, there is, nevertheless, a danger of its advocates pressing it too far. Volucella bombylans occurs in two varieties, which prey upon the humble-bees, Bombus muscorum and B. lapidarius, which they respectively yesemble. Mr. Bateson does not question the behaviour of the Volucel/a, but states that neither variety specially represents B. muscorum, and yet that they deposit their eges more frequently in their nests than in the nests of other species which they resemble more closely. He also states that ina show-case in the Royal College of Surgeons, to illustrate mimicry, two specimens of another species, B. sylvarum, were placed alongside of the Volucella, which they do resemble, but were labelled B. muscorum. But Mr. Hart explains the parasitism in another way. He states that a nest of B. muscorum is made on the surface, without much attempt at concealment, and that the bee is a peculiarly gentle species, with a very feeble sting ; but that the species which the Volucella most resemble are irascible, and therefore more dangerous to intruders. If this be so, it is difficult to see why the Volucel/a should mimic the bee, which it does not affect, more closely than the one which is generally its victim. I do not presume to express any opinion further than this, that the in- stances I have cited show that there is much reason for further careful observation by the field naturalist, and much yet to be discovered by the physiologist and the chemist, as to the composition and nature of animal pigments. I had proposed to occupy a considerable portion of my address with a statement of the present position of the controversy on heredity, by far the most difficult and important of all those subjects which at present attract the attention of the hiolo- gist ; but an attack of illness has compelled me to abandon my purpose. Not that I proposed to venture to express any opinions of my own, for, with such protago- nists in the field as Weismann, Wallace, Romanes, and Poulton on the one side, and Herbert Spencer and Hartog on the other,‘ Non nostrum inter vos tantas componere lites.’ So far as I can understand Weismann’s theory, he assumes the separation of germ cells and somatic cells, and that each germ cell contains in its nucleus a number of ‘ ids,’ each ‘ id’ representing the personality of an ancestral member of the species, or of an antecedent species. ‘The first multicellular organism was probably a cluster of similar cells, but these units soon lost their original homo- geneity. As the result of mere relative position, some of the cells were especially fitted to provide for the nutrition of the colony, while others undertook the work of reproduction.’ The latter, or germ-plasm, he assumes to possess an unlimited power of continuance, and that life is endowed with a fixed duration, not because it is contrary to its nature to be unlimited, but because the unlimited existence of individuals would be a luxury without any corresponding advantage. Herbert Spencer remarks upon this: ‘The changes of every aggregate, no matter of what kind, inevitably end in a state of equilibrium. Suns and planets die, as well as organisms,’ But has the theory been proved, either by the histologist, the microscopist, or the chemist? Spencer presses the point that the immortality of the protozoa has not been proved. And, after all, when Weismann makes the, con- tinuity of the germ-plasm the foundation of a theory of heredity, he is building upon a pure hypothesis, From the continuity of the germ-plasm; and its relative segregation from: the body at large, save with respect to nutrition, he deduces, a prioré, the impossibility 796 REPORT— 1893. of characters acquired by the body being transmitted through the germ-plasm to the offspring. From this he implies that where we find no intelligible mechanism to convey an imprint from the body to the germ, there no imprint can be conveyed. Romanes has brought forward many instances which seem to contradict this theory, and Herbert Spencer remarks that ‘a recognised principle of reasoning—“ the law of parsimony ”—forbids the assumption of more causes than are needful for the explanation of phenomena. We have evident causes which arrest the cell mul- tiplication, therefore it is illegitimate to ascribe this arrest to some property inherent in the cells.’ With regard to the reduction or disappearance of an organ, he states ‘ that when natural selection, either direct or reversed, is set aside, why the mere cessation of selection should cause decrease of an organ, irrespective of the direct effects of disease, I am unable to see. Beyond the production of changes in the size of parts, by the selection of fortuitously arising variation, I can see but one other cause for the production of them—the competition among the parts for nutriment. . . . The active parts are well supplied, while the inactive parts are ill supplied and dwindle, as does the arm of the Hindu fakir. This competition is the cause of economy of growth—this is the cause of decrease from disease.’ I may illustrate Mr. Herbert Spencer’s remarks by the familiar instance of the pinions of the Kakapo (Stringops)—still remaining, but powerless for flight. As for acquired habits, such as the modification of bird architecture by the same species under changed circumstances, how they can be better accounted for than by hereditary transmitted instinct, I do not see. I mean such cases as the ground- nesting Didunculus in Samoa haying saved itself from extinction since the intro- duction of cats, by roosting and nesting in trees; or the extraordinary acquired habit of the black-cap in the Canaries, observed by Dr. Lowe, of piercing the calyx of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis—an introduced plant—to attract insects, for which he quietly sits waiting. So the lying low of a covey of partridges under an artificial kite would seem to be a transmitted instinct from a far-off ancestry not yet lost; for many generations of partridges, I fear, must have passed since the last kite hovered over the forefathers of an English partridge, save in very few parts of the island. I cannot conclude without recalling that the past year has witnessed the severance of the last link with the pre-Darwinian naturalists in the death of Sir Richard Owen. Though never himself a field-worker, or the discoverer of a single animal living or extinct, his career extends over the whole history of palzeonto- logy. J say paleontology, for he was not a geologist in the sense of studying the order, succession, area, structure, and disturbance of strata. But he accumu- lated facts on the fossil remains that came to his hands, till he won the fame of being the greatest comparative anatomist of the age. To him we owe the building up of the skeletons of the giant Dinornithide and many other of the perished forms ot the gigantic sloths, armadilloes, and mastodons of South America, Australia, and Europe. He was himself a colossal worker, and he never worked for popu- larity. He had lived and worked too long before the Victorian age to accept readily the doctrines which have revolutionised that science, though none has had ‘a larger share in accumulating the facts, the combination of which of necessity produced that transformation. But, though he clung fondly to his old idea of the archetype, no man did more than Owen to explode the rival theories of both Wernerians and Huttonians, till the controversies of Plutonians and Nep- tunians come to us from the far past with as little to move our interest as the blue and green factions of Constantinople. Nor can we forget that it is to Sir Richard’s indomitable perseverance that we owe the magnificent palace which contains the national collections in Cromwell Road. For many years he fought the battle almost alone. His demand for a build- ing of two stories, covering five acres, was denounced as audacious. The scheme was pronounced foolish, crazy, and extravagant; but, after twenty years’ struggle, he was victorious, and in 1872 the Act was passed which gave not five, but more than seven acres for the purpose. Owen retired from its direction in 1883, having achieved the crowning victory of his life. Looking back in his old age on the TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 797 scientific achieverents of the past, he fully recognised the prospects of still further advances, and observed, ‘The known is very small compared with the knowable, and we may trust in the Author of all truth, who, I think, will not let that truth remain for ever hidden.’ I have endeavoured to show that there is still room for all workers, that the naturalist has his place, though the morphologist and the physiologist have rightly come into far greater prominence, and we need not vet abandon the-field-glass and the lens for the microscope and the scalpel. The studies of the laboratory still leave room for the observations of the field. The investigation of muscles, the analysis of brain tissue, the research into the chemical properties of pigment, haye not rendered worthless the study and observation of life and habits. As you cannot diagnose the Red Indian and the Anglo-Saxon by a comparison of their respective skeletons or researches into their muscular structure, but require to know the habits, the language, the modes of thought of each; so the mammal, the bird, and even the invertebrate, has his character, his voice, his impulses, aye, I will add, his ideas, to be taken into account in order to discriminate him, There is something beyond matter in life, even in its lowest forms. I may quote on this the caution uttered by a predecessor of mine in this chair (Professor Milnes Marshall): ‘ One thing above all is apparent, that embryologists must not work single-handed ; must not be satisfied with an acquaintance, however exact, with animals from the side of development only ; for embryos have this in common with maps, that too close and too exclusive a study of them is apt to disturb a man’s reasoning power.’ The ancient Greek philosopher gives us a threefold division of the intellectual faculties—gpornors, emurtnun, cvvecis—and I think we may apply it to the sub- division of labour in natural science: dpdvycts, 7 ra kaP exagru yvepitovea, is the power that divides, discerns, distinguishes—7.e., the naturalist; cuveous, the opera- tion of the closet zoologist, who investigates and experiments; and ério7npyy, the faculty of the philosopher, who draws his conclusions from facts and observations. The older naturalists lost much from lack of the records of previous observa- tions ; their difficulties were not ours, but they went to nature for their teachings rather than to books. Now we find it hard to avoid being smothered with the literature of the subject, and being choked with the dust of libraries. The danger against which Professor Marshall warns the embryologist is not confined to him alone; the observer of facts is equally exposed to it, and he must beware of the danger, else he may become a mere materialist. The poetic, the imaginative, the emotional, the spiritual, all go to make up the man; and if one of these is missing, he is incomplete, I cannot but feel that the danger of this concentration upon one side only of nature is painfully illustrated in the life of our great master, Darwin. In his early days he was a lover of literature, he delighted in Shakespeare and other poets ; but after years of scientific activity and interest, he found on taking them up again that he had not only grown indifferent to them, but that they were even distasteful to him. He had suffered a sort of atrophy on that side of his nature, as the disused pinions of the Kakapo haye become powerless—the spiritual, the imaginative, the emotional, we may call it. The case of Darwin illustrates a law—a principle we may call it—namely, that the spiritual faculty lives or dies by exercise or the want of iteven as does the bodily. Yet the atrophy was unconscious. Far was it from Darwin to ignore or depreciate studiesnot hisown, He has shown us this when he prefixed to the title-page ofhisgreat work the following extract from Lord Chancellor Bacon :—‘ To conclude, there- fore, let no man, out of a weak conceit of sobriety, or an ill-applied moderation, think or maintain that a man can search too far, or be too well studied in the book of God’s word, or in the book of God’s works, divinity or philosophy, but rather let men endeavour an endless progress or proficience in both.’ In true harmony is this with the spirit of the father of natural history, concluding with the words, “O Lord, how manifold are Thy works! in wisdom hast Thou made them all: the earth is full of Thy riches,’ 798 REPORT— 1893.

On Malformation from Pre-natal Influence on the Mother. By Aurrep R. Wattacez, D.C.L., F.R.S. In a letter to ‘ Nature’ (August 24) on ‘ Pre-natal Influences on Character,’ I stated—rather hastily, as it now appears—that physiologists rejected the notion of physical peculiarities being thus caused, both on account of the total absence of trustworthy evidence and also on theoretical grounds. In the article ‘ Deformities ’ in the new edition of ‘ Chambers’s Encyclopzedia’ (by Professor A. Hare) I find the following statement:—‘In an increasing proportion of cases which are carefully investigated it appears that maternal impressions, the result of shock or unpleasant experiences, may have a considerable influence in producing deformities in the offspring. This has long been a popular theory, and it is one that recent scientific observation is tending to confirm.’ In consequence of my letter in ‘ Nature’ several alleged cases of the kind above referred to have been sent me, one of which, being illustrated by a photograph and attested by a perfectly competent observer, will, I think, interest all biologists. The account was sent me by Dr. Richard Budd, M.D., F.R.C.P., Physician to the North Devon Infirmary. The following is a copy of his statement :— ‘In the year 1861 a gamekeeper named Croucher was admitted to the North Devon Infirmary in consequence of a gunshot wound of the right forearm. The arm was amputated just below the elbow. Croucher left the infirmary before the wound was quite healed, in the belief that his wife would be able to dress it. In this he was mistaken; but a young woman, the wife of a neighbouring farmer, volunteered her services, and continued to dress the wound till it was healed. Some six or seven months after this young woman was confined, and her child was born minus the right forearm, and the stump was a facsimile of Croucher’s. The gamekeeper’s arm became somewhat wasted by the pressure induced by an artificial arm, and therefore the resemblance of the two arms (in the photograph taken some years later) is not so exact as it was at first. The photographs were taken by me. ‘ (Signed) RicHarp Bupp, M.D., F.R.C.P., ‘ Physician to the North Devon Infirmary, ‘Barnstaple: September 4, 1893.’ - In a letter Dr. Budd adds: ‘ With regard to the Croucher case, I am not aware that the facts have been published in any of the medical periodicals, but I exhibited and explained the photographs at a grand meeting at the College of Physicians (in November 1876), when most of the celebrated physicians of the world were present, and they created the deepest interest.’ ] presume that the birth of a child with an arm exactly resembling that in the photograph is an exceedingly rare occurrence in England, and that the probability of one being thus born in the same place where there was a man with a similar arm is exceedingly slight. When we add to this the further improbability of sueh a child being born within nine months after the accident, and the mother being the TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 799 particular woman who repeatedly dressed the wounded arm, it seems impossible té ayoid accepting a causal connection between the two events. Should such a connection be established, both on the physical and mental side, we have evidently a new cause of modification distinct from normal heredity. It has more analogy with the supposed inheritance of acquired variations, but is quite distinct from it. It seems not unlikely that some of the cases of supposed heredity of mutilations may be really due to this mental effect on the mother, It therefore becomes very important that the whole subject should be thoroughly in- vestigated. The following letter has also been received from Dr, Budd :— ‘ Barnstaple: September 10, 1893, ‘My dear Sir,—Some years ago the late Sir Frederick Williams, Bart., sent a brood mare, that had just been covered by a thorough-bred stallion, from his seat in Cornwall, Tregullo, to his shooting-cottage at Heanton Puncharden, near Barnstaple. When the groom entered the stable the following morning he found tkat one of the mare’s eyes was hanging by a nail in the wall, The mare was then placed for a run in the Braunton marshes, In due time she produced a foal minus an eye on the same side as the mare’s. The year following this mare again had a foal with one eye; but the third year she had a foal with two good eyes, the impression on her brain having worn out. This, in my opinion, is quite as interesting a case as Croucher’s. ‘In great haste to save this post, ‘ Yours sincerely, ‘RicHARD Bupp,’ 4. On Calorimetry by Surface Thermometry and Hygrometry. By Aveustus D, Wainer, M.D., F.R.S. This is in continuation of a communication made at the Liége Congress of Physiology (1892). Of the conclusions then published the only one needing to be quoted for the present purpose is that the alteration of temperature of a limb in consequence of the evercise of its muscles is mainly a vascular effect. Which signifies that the measurements given below are of muscular and vascular phenomena, not of muscular phenomena alone. To form an approximate estimate of the calorimetric value of surface thermo- metric readings I proceeded as follows: Readings were taken at intervals of an internal and of an external thermometer in connection with an indiarubber sphere of known surface, containing a known weight of warm water, allowed to cool in still air, Readings of a third thermometer gave the temperature of the air, The internal thermometer indicated the heat loss in calories ; the external thermometer gave indications that were proportional with the temperature-difference (hereafter referred to as the T.D.) between the surface of the sphere and the surrounding air. In this way it was estimated that each degree of indicated T.D. signified a heat- emission of approximately 12:5 calories per 1,000 cm.? per minute. The T.D. observed on the naked forearm was, under ordinary conditions, found to be between 10° and 15°C, Assuming that, ceteris paribus, the radiation from the skin was equal to that from the indiarubber, and taking the superficial area of the forearm (not including the hand) at 500 em.”, the heat-emission within the above range of T.D. is 62°5 to 94 cals. per minute. Theoretically there are two obvious weak links in this argument, but for practical purposes it may be acted upon; it affords a more tangible series of expres- sions for variations of heat-emission under various conditions than is afforded by merely thermometric terms, and the calorimetric values thus obtained possess at least an equal degree of accuracy with those obtained by partial calorimetry. The weak links are (1) that Newton’s law of cooling is not absolutely correct ; (2) that the coefficient of radiation varies with the nature of the cooling surface. 1. Newton's law is not absolutely correct ; the heat-emission by radiation and conduction per 1° T.D. is a diminishing value with diminishing T.D. We may 800 REPORT—1893. not therefore, strictly speaking, give the value of heat-emission as constant per degree T.D., nor make, as above, the assumption that cal.=T.D.x x. But the dis- crepancy is not very serious within a range of 5° or even of 10°, and it is easily eliminated. Thus we may treat the discharge at 10° T.D. as a constant, and give the variations per degree above this value. Or, better, we may draw up a table of the values T'.D.1*55 x x. The following table gives in three parallel columns the calorimetric values per minute per 1,000 cm.? of temperature-differences such as are ordinarily observed on the human forearm; 1° on the least accurate assumption cal. =T.D. x «; 2° on the more accurate assumption cal. =C+(T.D.—10) «; 3° on the least inaccurate assumption cal. =x T.D.!'*°5.

The coefficient of radiation varies with the nature of the radiating surface,— Heat is emitted from a warm surface, such as the human skin, by conduction, by evaporation, and by radiation. We may not assume that loss by radiation is identical from the surface of the indiarubber. sphere and from an equal area of human skin. Moreover, we must admit as theoretically possible that the radiating power of the skin, apart from alterations of temperature, may vary. I have not attempted to determine what is the percentage of the total loss borne by radiation alone, nor the variations of that percentage with varying character of surface. I have (1) taken simultaneous and separate estimates of the loss (a) by evaporation, (4) by conduction and radiation conjoined ; (2) made experiments to see whether the loss by radiation cwm conduction was sensibly altered by gross differences of the radiant surface ; (3) compared roughly by thermopile and galvano- meter the radiation of a warm indiarubber surface with that of the human skin ; and (4) tried whether radiation from the human skin varied parallel with variations of T.D., or in such wise as to suggest the intervention of a distorting factor, such as an alteration of the radiating power. All these were comparatively rough experiments, made not to determine actual alterations of heat-emission with alterations of radiant power, but to determine whetlier the latter could be regarded as markedly influencing the result, and thus forbidding the translation of surface thermometer readings of T.D. into calorimetric values of heat-emission. I found (1) that two otherwise similar spheres with respectively white and black covers showed no difference in the rate of cooling outside the range of experimental error, apart from variations due to differences of T.D., or of thickness of cover, or of moisture of cover, or of air; (2) that practically the amount of radiation was proportional to the T.D., within a range of variation of 10°C. ; (3) that the radiant power of the indiarubber surface did not sensibly differ from that of the skin of the forearm, with identical values of the T.D. From which I concluded (1) that variations of radiant power are negligible in observations of this order; (2) that the absolute calorimetric standard obtained from observations on the cooling sphere of water might without gross error be applied to the heat-emission of the human skin. 3. The evaporation factor in heat-emission has to be separately dealt with—To 1 Dr. Stewart, in the course of experiments on the radiation from the animal body (Studies from the Physiological Laboratory of Owens College, Manchester, 1891), has anticipated me in this first conclusion, to the effect that heat-emission depends upon the T.D. and not upon variations of radiating power. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 801 this end I used a simple hygrometer, consisting of a shallow glass capsule, in the _ flat bottom of which some calcium chloride solution had been evaporated to dryness. The amount of water vapour discharged was ascertained by weighing the capsule before and after it had been left inverted for a given period over the skin or other surface of evaporation ; the corresponding quantity of heat emitted was taken as equal to the weight of water x by the latent heat of evaporation. By preliminary trials it was found that the water discharge varied from 2 to 20 mgrms. per 20 cm.” per 10 min. at various parts of the skin under ordinary varying conditions, and that a capsule inverted over a wet surface can absorb between 80 and 90 megrms. per 20 cm.” per 10 min.’ It was also found by trial on a wet cooling sphere that the amount of heat ascertained by means of the internal thermometer to be lost was approximately found by calculations from the data furnished by the external thermometer and the hygrometer conjointly. Thus, eg., against a loss of 400 cals. per min. indicated by the internal thermometer there were found 150 cals. by the surface thermometer (the T.D. being 12°, and taking out from the calorimetric values tabulated above the corresponding number) plus 240 to 270 cals. by the evaporation of 400 to 450 milligrammes of water. Assuming that the graduation is not grossly inaccurate, and that the argument upon which it rests is not grossly incorrect, the following numbers represent the state of heat-emission from a human forearm, with a superficial area of 500 em., (a) during rest after rest, (6) during rest after previous moderate exertion. The air temperature during experiment was 20°.

Amount and rhythm of muscular exercise are recorded by a dynamograph, as described in my ‘introduction to Human Phy- siology’; surface-temperature by an air-thermograph, the essential part of which is a thin metal box strapped to the limb, and connected with a piston-recorder in contact with a slowly revolving cylinder, as will be described in a future com- munication ; the area of the thermographic curve thus recorded represents a calori- metric value, and its ordinate a rate of heat-emission. The method is easily carried out; the surface thermometer (or thermograph) and the calcium chloride hygrometer are well adapted to the clinical investigation of the heat and water emission of the skin under various pathological conditions. 5.

The impalpable powder (moistened with alcohol, as water wets it with difficulty) is extracted with water. The watery extract shows the following properties :— 1. It hydrolyses starch paste in a neutral solution, but much less readily in presence of dilute mineral acids. It converts the starch rapidly into erythro-dextrin, but the formation of a sugar which will reduce alkaline copper solution is somewhat tardy. 2. It has no action whatever on thymolised milk in two days. 3. It liquefies fibrin rapidly in presence of dilute acids, but it is only after prolonged action that a distinct biuret reaction reveals the presence of pepsin. 4, It only attacks fibrin very slowly, and partially in neutral solution, and indol and skatol are not formed. The enzymes present, therefore, resemble ptyalin and pepsin; trypsin, rennin, and steapsin (or pialyn) appear to be absent. About 1,000 individuals furnish one grain of dry substance. Two series of experiments were made with about this quantity of material each time. It is proposed to repeat and complete the research in the autumn. 8. Report on the Physiological Action of the Inhalation of Oxygen. See Reports, p. 551. DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY. 1. On the Luminous Organs of Cephalopoda. By Witttam E. Hoyts. It was recorded by Vérany so long ago as 1851 that certain spots on the body and arms of the rare and beautiful cuttlefish (Histioteuthis Bonelliana) gave out a phos- phorescent light in the dark, but no subsequent observer has been fortunate enough to have the opportunity of confirming his observation, or indeed of procuring a specimen of the species. The allied form (Histioteuthis Riippellit), which has spots of precisely similar appearance, has been several times examined, though never in the living condition. During the early part of the present year Professor Joubin, of Rennes, published an account of his examination of the structure of these organs. My own investigations have been made upon Histioteuthis Riippellit, upon another rare species, Calliteuthis reversa, and upon two species of Enoplo- teuthis, a genus remarkable for having a number of the suckers developed into for- midable hooks. As regards the first, the specimen at my disposal was not in a very satisfactory state of preservation, so that I can say no more than that my results on the whole agree with those of Joubin, In Calliteuthis, a genus not far removed systematically from Histioteuthis, the organs are essentially similar in distribution and in appearance to the naked eye, and, as might therefore be expected, they are very similar in structure. The most noticeable differences are that the distinction between the lens and the transparent cone of Joubin is scarcely marked, and that the mirror situated anteriorly to the main part of the organ is scarcely marked. These points may, however, be due to the sections having been made from a very young specimen. In Enoploteuthis the appearance and structure of the organ are very different. ‘When the surface of the body is examined under a pocket-lens there are seen among the ordinary chromatophores larger round spots, each having a pearly centre surrounded by a ring of pigment, and usually somewhat raised above the general level of the epithelium. These spots are confined to the ventral aspect of the animal, but are found on the mantle, funnel and arms, as well as round the eyes. ~ TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 803 fm one species I found three or four isolated ones in the centre of the dorsal surface of each fin. In section it is seen that each organ is a spheroidal body embedded in the sub- cutaneous cellular tissue, and consisting of the following parts: (1) an outer pig- mented cup with a considerable aperture (a quarter of its circumference) in front. (2) A lining within the cup, consisting of a single layer of cuboidal cells, with spherical nuclei, easily stained. (3) The anterior aperture of the pigment cup is filled by a lenticular body, composed of masses of a structureless yellowish material, to all appearance cuticular in nature, with small deeply-stained cells between the masses. (4) From the back of the lens there projects into the centre of the organ a conical plug, composed of deeply-stained cells. These are seen in transverse sections to be disposed concentrically round the axis of the cone, pro- ducing the effect of the well-known ‘cell nests’ of an epithelioma, (5) The space between this plug and the cells lining the pigment cup is filled with a clear trans- parent mass. In its peripheral portions this seems to be made up of thin layers arranged concentrically like the coats of an onion; whilst nearer the centre it has the form of curved rods, wider in front than behind, amongst which nuclei are sparsely scattered. In most cases a space, most likely a blood lacuna, was seen around the organ; no nerve supply could be traced out. It is impossible without an opportunity of examining the living animal to say what part of this apparatus is the active agent in producing the light ; indeed, it must be remembered that positive proof of its being a luminous organ at all is still wanting. Of similar structures as yet described in other animals it seems to resemble most nearly the photospheria of Myctiphanes norvegica, a schizopod crustacean examined by Messrs. Vallentine and Cunningham. As regards origin, these organs are probably to be regarded as highly modified chromatophores; an analogous modification would be found in the thermoscopic spots recently described by Joubin in another cephalopod. 2.

In a complete plant of the higher orders there are three distinct schemes of colour—viz., the browns, olives, and maroons of the stem and branches, the greens of the foliage, and the reds, yellows, and blues of the blossom. These indicate a successive decrease in the amount of light absorbed, which must be the result of changes in the absorbing capacity of the molecules. It is suggested that the cause of these changes may be found in the specially organic phenomenon of food assimilation, and the concentration of energy in the molecular structure which this implies. If such energy is stored in the form of increased molecular vibration, sets of molecules will successively reach the maximum limit of vibration possible to them, and will lose the power of further absorption. Thus the amount of reflected light will increase as the plant attains maturity; and as the arrest of growth which accompanies the formation of blossom throws upon the vibration of the molecules the energy otherwise expended upon growth, a marked increase of reflected light from the flower is the natural result. 5. Remarks on the Roots of the Lemna and the Reversing of the Fronds in Lemna trisulea. By Nina F, Layarp. The roots of the various English Lemne are usually described as identical in form and structure, if, indeed, they receive any attention at all; but a careful 3 F2 804 REPORT—1 893. comparison of their forms will show certain distinct, albeit slight, differences, sufficiently marked to make it possible to identify a plant by means of the root alone. , One of the objects of this paper was to point out those differences by means of diagrams in which the respective roots of Lemna minor, trisulca, gibba, and polyrhiza were represented side by side. Besides a considerable variety in the length of the various root-fibres, a microscopic examination of the sheaths which protect the apex shows that neither are they uniform in shape, but, ranging from the comparatively blunt and straight ampulla of Lemna minor to the slightly pointed sheath of Lemna gibba, they become blade-like in Lemna polyrhiza, and, finally, sharply pointed and with a tendency to curve in Lemna trasulea. As the plant matures the sheath becomes a ruddy brown colour, and is seen under the microscope to be freckled with brown blotches, probably the decaying outer cells of the case. This hardening of the ampulla is a very necessary security against the attacks of water insects, which feed upon the delicate root fibres, often commencing at the extremity of the root and working their way upwards. It is interesting to speculate as to possible other uses for this rather phenomenal root-cap. The functions of the root-caps of terrestrial plants are easily recognised in their adaptability to the purpose of forcing a way for the fibre through soil or pebbles, but here we have plants suspended in the water, and yet furnished with something very similar. This difficulty has been met by the suggestion that the sheath of the Lemna is not a root-cap, but really a persistent digestive pouch ; but, even without this explanation, one has only to take into consideration the characteristics of the habitat of the duckweed to see that the ampulla is continu- ally required to do the work of any ordinary root-cap of terrestrial plants. Owing to the stagnant nature of the ponds and dykes where it flourishes the plant is subjected to violent alternations of drought and plenty, and in the dry season myriads of perishing Lemne are left high and dry on the banks. The more fortunate individuals, growing where the water is deeper, are gradually let down as it becomes more shallow, until at last, striking their roots on the soil at the bottom, they are embedded in the mire, and there await the return of rain. A curious hooked appearance which is occasionally seen in the ampulla of Lemna trisulca was also represented in the diagrams. In the long chains formed by a number of connected fronds of Lemna trisulea it will not infrequently be found that the root-fibres spring sometimes from below the frond and hang downwards, and sometimes from what appears to be the surface of the frond, reaching upwards. A careful observation of the tendency of this submerged duckweed under certain circumstances to twist into an almost spiral form led the author to the conclusion that in such cases the fronds had completely revolved in their sockets, so that what had at first been underneath was now uppermost, throwing the root attached to it up to the surface. Further observa- tions seemed to point to the fact that this habit is confined to cases where the submerged Lemna trisulca is covered from light and air by a thick overgrowth of other weeds, such as Lemna minor, with which it is often associated ; for in a pond where this was not the case the uncovered chains of Lemna trisulca were lying almost flat, but after being placed in a basin already containing Lemna minor they also assumed an irregular spiral form in the course of a few weeks. Should this change be found to be attributable to a want of air it may possibly point to a respiratory function in the root-fibre. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16.

In the restricted sense in which the term is here applied, galls are defined as complex organisms resulting from the co-operation of a plant and an animal; and to determine the extent and modus operandi of these two factors in their produc- tion is one of the many interesting problems which this study presents. ‘Though abnormal with regard to the plant, inasmuch as their presence is exceptional and foreign to the performance of its proper functions, galls are in themselves as normal as any other organisms. Each has its own characteristic form, its special habitat, and its proper office. Hence, after referring to the great diversity of these organisms and their wide distribution, the writer proceeds to trace out the life- history of certain typical galls, those of Cynips Kollari, Teras terminalis, and Biorhliza aptera being specially dealt with. What is there, he asks, in the casual presence of the ovum of the gall-producing insect, in the action of the developing larva, in the mechanical puncture of the parent cynips, or in the deposit of a tiny drop of irritating fluid by which it is said the ovipositing is accompanied—what is there in any one, or more, or all of these, or, it may be, in the action of some other factor yet to be discovered, that impels these wonder-working changes by which the gall itself is initiated and its future growth and development accompanied? Reviewing the various attempts made to answer this and cognate questions, as also the arguments by which the generally accepted view of the deposit by the parent cynips of a special virus is supported, the author denies the alleged analogy upon which the conclusion thence arrived at rests. The presence of the ovum (not found in any of the cases stated) may be, he suggests, as necessary a factor in the production of the gall as is the deposit of a specific virus; while in many cases galls are found to result from the action of other animals than terebrant hymenoptera—as, for example, of kermes, cecydomiz, and acari—where no such poison-gland as that referred to exists. Very early in his investigations (now extending over a period of five-and-twenty years) the writer arrived at the conclusion that another agent, as potent as that of this hypo- thetical virus, was essential to the production of, at least, some species of vegetal galls, such agent being the presence and action of a living larva. In illustration of this the ‘ oak-apple’ may be taken. Here the parent cynips (Biorhiza aptera— the agamic form of Terasterminalis), by a dexterous use of her terebra prepara- tory to ovipositing, makes a cut across the axis of a winter bud of the oak, above _the circlet of scales by which it is surrounded, so as to separate the cone-like apex with its appendages. In the space thus prepared a variable number of eggs is laid—at times as many as two hundred and fifty or more. Should these, however, notwithstanding the incision, fail to be deposited, or, if laid, perish during the winter, no growth, normal or abnormal, takes place from the divided axis. This remains brown, dry, and inactive. If, on the other hand, healthy ova are present, and these hatch out their living embryos, then, by the action of these upon the dormant tissues, new and peculiar powers of growth are manifested— powers which result in the production, not of a normal branch, but of an abnormal, tumour-like gall. Here, then, we have a series of facts, positive and negative, which point to the action of the embryo, and not to the deposit of a special virus by the parent cynips, as the direct and necessary agent in the production of the gall. Granting, for the sake of illustration, the existence and potency of such virus, ought we not in such case to expect that, even in the absence of living larvee, the normal energies of the fluid would be exerted, and a gall, destitute though it might be of normal occupants, of necessity result? In the author’s long experience no facts confirmatory of this view have been met with, nor is it probable that any such barren galls exist. Are we not, then, justified in discarding the hypothesis of ' Published in extenso in Natural Science, November 1893. 806 REPORT—1 893. a specific virus deposited by the parent cynips, and in attributing to the activities of the living embryos, combined with the normal forces of the plant, the genesis and metamorphoses of the gall ? This view has since been emphasised by Dr. Beyerinck, of Utrecht, who, as a deduction from the same facts, holds that in the action of the cynipide larve, and not in the injection of a specific virus by the parent cynips, the cause of gall forma- tion is solely to be found. Whether so or not, however, this, at least, may safely be concluded, namely, that while, on the one hand, in those chemical and other forces which produce growth greater activity is induced by the stimulus of the injected fluid—assuming this to be actually present—so, on the other, those mechanical conditions which determine form in organic beings are furnished to a large extent by the contact of the included ovum and by the activities of the embryonic larva. Resting in this solution cf the problem, the author proceeds to deal with the facts of parthenogenesis ana metagenesis, as exhibited in the gall-producing cynipide, and then to trace the operations of phytophagous and entomophagous inquilines and parasites, ‘The unbidden crew of graceless guests’ ( Virgil), which, season by season, decimate the cynips’ larve, the legitimate possessors of the gall, living on their fatty juices, or so robbing them of their food that they die of poverty and inanition. But here, again, as if to punish wrong and work retributive justice, these inquiline and parasitic enemies in turn are preyed upon by other parasites lower in the scale of creation than themselves, which thin their ranks, and thus, in a rude and barbarous way, maintain the necessary balance of organic life. 4, On some New Features in Nuclear Division in Lilium martagon. By Professor J. B. Farmer. A careful examination of the course of development of the pollen in Lilium martagon shows the presence of a varying number of bodies which seem to have escaped the observation of those who have hitherto investigated this plant. To these bodies the general term ‘granule’ has been given, as one which involves no assumption as to their real nature. These granules are not easily made clear except by the careful use of selective stains. One of the best methods, though by no means the only one, of sharply differentiating them is that of double staining with hematoxylin and orange G. The great importance of the granules lies in the fact that a variable number of them may become converging points for the achro- matic spindle fibres, and the whole spindle thus becomes multipolar and ¢rregular. This does not, at any rate in the earlier stages of karyokinesis, terminate in any definite granule which may be regarded as a ‘centrosome.’ This behaviour on the part of the granules obviously affects deeply the whole question of the individuality of the centrosome. As to the origin of the granules, it is of extreme interest to find that they appear suddenly in the cytoplasm, which had hitherto been perfectly free from them. Their appearance is immediately subsequent to the fragmentation of the large nucleolus during the preparatory stages of division, and moreover in their staining reactions they exactly coincide with those presented by this structure. A possible connection between the nucleolus and the granules is thus indicated. _ During the later period of division the granules become fewer and larger, but their ultimate fate is not as yet quite clear. The above points were illustrated by photomicrographs. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 807 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18. The following Papers and Reports were read :— 1. On Coral Reefs. By W. J.

A few Notes on Seals and Whales seen during the Voyage to the Antarctic, 1892-93. By Wm. S. Bruce. During the recent Antarctic cruise at least three kinds of seals were seen. These were all true seals; no fur seals were seen. They were the sea-leopard (Steno- rhynchus leptonyx), Weddell’s false sea-leopard (Leptonyx Weddellii), and a creamy-white seal, probably the crab-eating seal (Lobodon carcinophaga). There were two others, which were possibly younger forms of sea-leopard and crab-eating seals respectively. The latter, instead of being white, was mottled pale grey, but: similar in form and size to, and often found among, the white seals. In December all the seals were in very bad condition, thinly blubbered and grievously scarred. The females were scarred as freely as the males. There was no marked preponderance in the number of the females. During January their condition improved, and by February they were heavily blubbered and free from scars. Loving the sun, they lie on the pack ice all day digesting their meal of the previous night, which con- sists chiefly of fish or small crustaceans, or both; the penguin is also occasionally their victim, and I have found stones in their stomachs. By February the embryo is well developed, gestation probably beginning in December, It is extremely regrettable that it was during this period the indis- criminate slaughter took place, almost all the females towards the end of January and February being with young. All the seals were found on the pack ice; the sea-leopard was on the outer- most streams, and was most frequently to be found singly, though two or three might be on one piece of ice, but seldom more. Weddell’s false sea-leopard was very rare, only four of them having been seen. The creamy-white seal and the pale mottled grey were in greatest abundance: these are found in fours, fives, or even tens—the greatest number I have seen on one piece was forty-seven. On one occasion we found some seals on a tilted berg; so high was the ledge above the water-level that our men with difficulty clambered up and secured their prey. This illustrates their great power of jumping from the water on to the ice. I have a them rising about 9 feet above water, and cover distances of fully 20 feet in ength. Tt is of interest to note that we saw no trace of any whale resembling the bow- head or Greenland black whale (Balena mysticetus) which Ross reported to have seen in very great numbers. There were, however, hunchbacks, finbacks, bot#le- noses, and grampuses. 808 REPORT—1893. 6. On the Penguins of the Antarctic Ocean. By C. W. Donat, M.B. The penguin is one of the most interesting of living birds, Its shape, erect posture, rigid flippers, its feathers, anatomy, and habits are all characteristic. The most common form in this region is the black-throated species—Dasyrhamphus adelias (H. & J.). A large rookery of this species, situated on the south shore of Joinville Island, was visited. On one occasion they were seen in large schools, each directed by an individual of larger species—probably an Emperor. On the ice he usually progresses in the erect posture. In the water he generally proceeds. like a porpoise—in a prolonged dive broken at intervals of about thirty yards as he rises for breath——leaping clean out of the water, and immediately disappearing with scareely a ripple, after clearing a space of two to two and a half feet. Ex- petimenting on them, one was found to survive being held under water for six minutes, ‘Their food consists chiefly of a large shrimp-like crustacean of the genus Euphausia, Their stomachs generally contain a number of angular pebbles. Large flocks of a white-throated penguin of the type described as D. Hereulis (Finsch) were seen in February. [am of opinion that these are the young of D. adelie. The Emperor Penguin— Aptenodytes Fosteri—was met with on several occasions. One of these—of great size and beautiful plumage—was 4 feet 10 inches from tip of beak to extremity of tail. It weighed 741b. One specimen of the Kinged Penguin —Pygosculis antarctica—was obtained. A rookery occupied by the white-headed penguin—Pygosculis papua—was visited. The nests here were lined by feathers from the parents’ breasts. I saw no crested penguins nor any specimen of the King—Aptenodytes longirostris. What I believe to be a new species of crested penguin was seen on the S. Orkneys by Captain Sarsen. 7. On the Development of the Molar Teeth of the Elephant, with Remarks on Dental Series. By Professor J. CLevandD, F.B.S. A specimen was exhibited from the lower jaw of an Indian elephant of a molar tooth enclosed in its sac, and consisting of a series of seventeen transverse lamine,, each surmounted by comparatively elongated cusps. As yet only the cusps of the hindermost lamina were covered with caps of dentine, and the lammz were separated one from another by projections of the saccular wall. It was pointed out that the cusps became afterwards less distinct by the growth of enamel taking place on the surface, and that the lamin by remaining uncovered with dentine for a considerable period were enabled to enlarge to three or four times the breadth that they exhibited in the specimen. The elephant’s molars may be said to he doubly compound ; the cusps, originally separate, being united by the laminz on which they are placed, and the lamin being joined together afterwards by a com- mon base on which the dentine is at a later period continued down, to be prolonged finally into fangs. It is doubtful if any hard distinction can be drawn between a transverse row of cusps conjoined together and a transverse series of separate teeth. Teeth ought to be recognised as occurring in the jaws in longitudinal and transverse series. The temporary and permanent teeth of mammals are in point of fact derived from papillae forming respectively an outer and an inner range, while the additional teeth occurring occasionally in the human subject are instances of a third papilla being developed internal to the inner range; just as in sharks many teeth may lie in one transverse line. But this arrangement is disguised by each tooth being temporarily included in a sac, and has escaped notice. The specimen has been presented to the British Museum. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION D. 809 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. The following Papers were read :— 1. On Certain Gregarinide, and the possible connection of Allied Forms with Tissue Changes in Man. By Cuarues H. Carrin, M.D., M.R.C.P., and James Miuiar, M.D. After giving a general review of the classification of the protozoa, the writers pointed out that they were chiefly interested in the sporozoa, and that.because of their parasitic habits, especially in the bodies of the higher vertebrates. There was much still unknown of the habits, life-history, and distribution of these organisms, and the co-operation of biologists with medical men was invited for the elucidation of many unsettled questions, One of these was how far certain of the sporozoa, at present classified as distinct species and genera, were to he properly so considered, and how far some of them were really alternative forms of the same organism modified by change of host and other external influences. A detailed description was given of the authors’ own observations on the development of the coccidium oviforme of the rabbit. On the authority of L. Pfeiffer 1it was stated that in the body of its host, the coccidium multiplies by means of a most prolific zodspore formation, while in external media it forms lasting spores. The authors took some material derived from the rabbit’s gall- bladder, containing coccidia, and watched the development of the parasite under different external conditions. When the specimens were first observed, the granular protoplasm, contained in the coccidium capsule, had already contracted into a rounded mass, lying either in the centre, or somewhat to one end. The first specimen to show further change: was one kept in ordinary water at the temperature of the air, and unsealed so that there was free access of air to it. Within a space of two days the granular ball had divided into two, and in some instances into four portions. Sometimes the final division was into three portions instead of four. Asan ultimate result of the segmentation the parent coccidium came to contain three or four sporoblasts, each containing one or two (generally two) refractile translucent bodies (spores) and some granular matter, the so-called nucléus de religuat. The authors entirely failed to see the C-shaped rod with thickened ends, which has been described * as lying within the sporoblasts. At a later stage individuals were met with in which the sporoblasts could be seen making their way out of the containing capsule and floating free in the surround- ing fluid. The authors believe this is the first time this phenomenon has been actually observed ; but they feel some doubt as to whether what they saw was entirely spontaneous, or had been assisted by the pressure of the cover-glass used in mounting the specimen on the slide. Probably under ordinary circumstances the spores remain unchanged for an indefinite time, and only undergo further change when they reach the interior of a new host. Ultimately they give origin to amceboid germs which penetrate into epithelial cells. The authors regard the interior of the tissue-cells as the necessary abode of the young forms of all sporozoa; and if this opinion is correct, they see great difficulties in the way of artificial cultivation of coccidia or any other true cell-parasite. The tissue-changes in the rabbit’s liver due to a known parasite (the coccidium) were stated to bear a close resemblance to those which constitute cancer in the human subject. In the latter bodies have of late years been described and which by many observers are considered as protozoa. The authors showed by means of lantern slides the structure of these latter bodies as they had found them in their oo The reasons for looking upon them as parasites were briefly— 1. The cell-growth, which is the fundamental change in cancer, is quite ana- logous to the changes produced in animal tissues by known parasites. 2. They 1 Untersuchungen iiber den Krebs, Jena, 1893. 2 Leuckart, The Parasites of Man, 1886. 810 REPORT—1893. have a clearly defined outline and structure, which differ from those of tissue-cells and their nuclei; they are differently affected by stains. 3. Several observers, and among them one of the present authors (Dr. Cattle '), have published descrip- tions of what they consider to be a sporing process on the part of the ‘parasite.’ 4, They are found most abundantly where the disease is active and spreading ; not where it has died out, and been replaced by scar-like connective tissue. 5. Drs. Ruffer and Soudakewitch report they have seen the parasite moving and dividing on the warm stage. The authors concluded by expressing the opinion that by further observation and experiment, the protozoon of cancer might in time become an established fact. The Paper was illustrated by lantern slides. 2. On the Wings ef Archeopteryx and of other Birds. By C. Hurpert Horst. The slender hind limbs, the small pelvis, the weak vertebral column made up of amphiccelous vertebrae, and the presence in the fore limb of long, slender, clawed fingers, admirably adapted for climbing in trees, justify the view that Archeopteryx was a quadruped using the free fingers of the fore limb much as the corresponding free fingers of the Pterosauria may have been used, and as the fingers of the ‘flying’ squirrels and phalangers, and of Galeopithecus, and as the thumbs of a bat, are undoubtedly used. These three slender digits of the wing of Archeopteryx would, however, be useless for such a purpose if the seven large primary quills were attached to them as usually described, and the quills themselves would be useless if so attached ; for the three slender fingers are far too weak, especially at the joints, to withstand the torsional stress to which they would be exposed in flight if the quills were attached to them. A single stroke of the wing would twist those fingers off at the joints. Such an attachment, indeed, would render both the fingers and the wings useless.

In adopting this system the mariner will become acquainted with the flashing system, and thus lay the foundation of an international flashing signal system for the mercantile marine, so much needed. The author believes that 999 sentences selected from the Commercial Code Book would be ample for all practical purposes, 2. On an Automatic Gem-separator. By Wiuram §S. Loccuartr, W.L.0.H., MLL. The separator described was devised for the purpose of selecting precious stones from the worthless gravel with which they are associated without the intervention of hand-picking as now practised, thus avoiding the danger of loss by theft and other disadvantages. In South Africa, Burma, Siam, Ceylon, and other parts of the world the systems of washing vary to some extent. The earlier stages of these processes would take too long to describe, but all systems resolve themselves finally into the picking over of a concentrated deposit of clean washed gravel for the gems it may contain, and it is at this point that the separator comes in to perform what has hitherto been done by hand. When it is realised that the 38L2 - 884 REPORT—1893. -proportion of gems to worthless pieces of mineral is not a percentage merely, but of one to many thousands, the utility of such a machine is obvious. The,concentrated gravel when washed is most carefully classified into sizes, beginning, for diamonds, at one-sixteenth of an inch, and increasing by sixteenths _ up to five-eighths of an inch, or still further if desired. Lach size of gravel is fed into a separator adapted to suit it. The separator has no moving parts—and takes advantage, by means of a stream of water running through it, of the slight varia- tion in specific gravity between the gems (3° to 4) and the worthless minerals (2'5 to 3). It is possible to separate such substances by immersing them in a pre- pared solution of high specific gravity, just as pebbles and chips may be separated in water; but there are practical difficulties about such a process, and the gem- separator described substitutes a moving current of water for the heavier solution, with the advantage that the process is continuous, the separated materials being deposited in their proper receptacles, those for the gems being guarded by locks. The details of the machine are described, and a machine shown at work. The operations of the machine are not confined to gems. The separation cf any minerals from their gangue, provided always there is a slight difference in specific gravity, may be effected, and the machine will work on broken materiak in a dry or merely wetted, state or on slimes run in with a stream of water. 3. On some Experiments with Ventilating Fons or Air-propellers. By Wiiu1am Georce Watker, M.Inst.M.E. These experiments have reference to those ventilating fans or air-propellers of the screw-propeller type used for low-pressure ventilators. The primary cbject of the experiments was to test the efficiency of fans or air- propellers, differing only from each other in the cross-section of their blades, which section chiefly referred tothe rearward or non-propelling face of the blades or vanes, The first series of experiments were made with air-propellers 14 in, diameter and 21 in. pitch, and of two, three, and six blades respectively. Each propeller was tried at progressive revolutions, varying from 600 up to 2,000 per minute. The blades were composed of sheet brass ;1, in. thick. The second series were made with the same propellers, but having a curved convex protuberance fixed to the back surface of the blades, forming a section which is a hollow piano-convex form, the convex surface constituting the non- propelling surface, or backs of the blades. In all cases the efficiency of the blades was increased by the addition of the convex surface ; in some cases the number of cubic feet per revolution was nearly doubled, the power being the same in each case. Some further comparative experiments were made with fans of 2 feet in dia- meter, and with blades of different sectional form, viz., (1) flat blades, (2) curved blades, (3) helical blades, (4) flat blades with round protuberance fixed at back, (5) curved blade with round protuberance fixed on, also other sections. The angle of the blades and the area were the same in each case.. The experi- ments most distinctly showed that a very great gain was obtained by the use of the convex surface, and that the best results were obtained with a section of concavo-conyex form, The reason of the results may perhaps be explained from the ‘Stream Line” principle. It seems that the convex surface at the back tends to fill up or destroy the partial vacuum which exists at the back of each revolving blade. The existence of an eddy in the wake of each blade must increase the rotary motion of the air, caused by air passing through the propeller clinging or tending to rush into the partial vacuum. 4. On the Testing Machine and Experimental Steam Engine in the Lingineering Laboratories of University College, Nottingham. By Prof. W. Roptnson. 885 Section H.—ANTHROPOLOGY. PRESIDENT OF THE SEcTION—R. Munro, M.A., M.D. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. The President delivered the following Address :— Tue science of Anthropology, in its widest sense, embraces all the materials bearing on the origin and history of mankind. These materials are so compre- hensive and diversified, both in their character and methods of study, that they become necessarily grouped into a number of subordinate departments. From a bird’s-eye point of view, however, one marked line of demarcation separates them into two great divisions, according as they relate to the structure and functions of man’s body, or to the works he has produced—a classification well defined by the words anthropology and archeology. The former, in its limited acceptation, deals more particularly with the development of man—his physical peculiarities, racial distinctions, linguistic manifestations, mental endowments, and, in short, every morphological or mental modification he has undergone amidst the ever- changing phenomena of hisenvironments. The latter, on the other hand, takes cognisance of man merely as a handicraftsman. During his long journey in past time he has left behind him, scattered on the highways and byways of primeval life, numerous traces of his ways, his works, his culture, and his civilisa- tion, all of which fall to be collected, sorted, and interpreted by the skilled archeologist. In their general aspects and relationship to each other most of the leading subjects in both these branches of the science have already been ex- pounded, in the presidential addresses of my predecessors, by men so distinguished in their respective departments that they have left little to be said by anyone who attempts to follow in their footsteps. There is, however, one phase in the progressive career of man which has not hitherto been so fully illustrated as the subject appears to me to merit. I refer to the direct and collateral advan- tages which the erect position has corferred on him; and to this I will now briefly direct your attention, concentrating my observations successively on the following propositions :— (1) The mechanicai and physical advantages of the erect position. (2) The differentiation of the limbs into hands and feet. (3) The relation between the more perfect condition of these organs and the development of the brain. In the process of organic evolution it would almost appear as if nature acted on teleological principles, because many of her products exhibit structures which combine the most perfect adaptation of means to ends along with the greatest economy of materials. This is well exemplified in some of the structural details ot the organs of locomotion in which many of the so-called mechanical powers may be seen in actual use. The primary object of locomotion was to enable the organ- ism to seek its food over a larger area than was attainable by a fixed position. The acquisition of this power was manifestly so advantageous to animal life that, 886 REPORT—1893. the principles by which it could be effected became important factors in natural selection. I need not here dwell on the various methods by which this has been accomplished in the lower forms of life, but proceed at once to point out that in the higher vertebrates the problem resolved itself into the well-known mechanism of four movable limbs, capable of supporting and transporting the animal. As these quadrupedal animals became more highly differentiated, in virtue of the necessities of the struggle for life and the different and ever-varying conditions of their surroundings, it followed that the limbs became also modified so as to make them suitable, not only for locomotion in various circumstances, but also useful to the animal economy in other ways. Hence they were subjected to an endless variety of secondary influences, which finally adapted them for such diverse pur- poses as swimming, flying, climbing, grasping, &c. The anterior limbs, owing to their proximity to the head, were more frequently selected for such transformations as may be seen, for instance, in the wings of a bird. But whatever modifications the fore limbs may have undergone, no animal, with the exception of man, has ever succeeded in divesting them altogether of their primary function. This exceptional result was due to the erect position, which necessitated a complete: division of labour as regards the functions of the limbs—the two anterior being entirely restricted to manipulative and prehensile purposes, and the two posterior: exclusively devoted to locomotion. Coincident with this notable specialisation of their function a new field for advancement was opened up to man, in which intel- ligence and mechanical skill became the leading factors in his further development. Man is thus distinguished from all other animals by the fact that, in the normal position of walking or running, he carries his body upright, z.¢., with the axis of the vertebral column perpendicular, instead of horizontal or oblique. In this position all its parts are so arranged as to require a minimum amount of exertion in the performance of their functions. If any of the other higher ver- tebvates should ever assume an erect attitude it can only be maintained tempo- rarily, and its maintenance involves an additional expenditure of force. In a certain sense a bird may be looked upon as a biped, but there is this distinction to be drawn between it and man, viz., that the former has not only its body balanced obliquely on its two legs, but also its fore limbs converted into special’ organs for motion in the air. The anthropoid apes hold an intermediate posi- tion, and so carry their body in a semi-erect attitude. But this shortcoming in reaching the perfectly upright position, however slight it may be in some of these animals, represents a wide gap which can only be fully appreciated by a careful study of the physiological and psychological phenomena manifested in their respec- tive life-functions. Everyone acquainted with the ordinary operations of daily life Inows how much labour can be saved by attention to the mere mechanical principles in- volved in their execution. In carrying a heavy load the great object is to adjust it so that its centre of gravity comes as nearly as possible to the vertical axis of the body, as otherwise force is uselessly expended in the effort to keep the entire: moving mass in stable equilibrium—a principle well exemplified by the Italian peasant girl when she poises her basket of oranges on her head. Once upon a time a powerful waterman, accustomed to use buckets double the size of those of his fellow-watermen, had the misfortune to have one of them broken. As he could not, then and there, get another bucket to match the remaining one, and wishing to make the best possible use of the appliances at hand, he replaced the broken vessel by one half its size. He then filled both with water and attempted to carry them, as formerly, attached to a yoke, one on each side of him. But to his astonishment this arrangement would not work. The yoke became un- even, and the effort to keep it balanced on his shoulders was so troublesome that: he could not proceed. This emergency led to serious reflection, but, after some- experimental trials, he ascertained that, by merely making the arm of the yoke on which the small bucket was suspended double the length of the other, he could: carry both buckets without inconvenience. But let me take one other illustration. Suppose that two burglars have con- cocted a plan to rob a richly-stored mansion by getting access to its rooms through TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 887 the windows of an upper story. In order to carry out this design they secure a ladder, easily transported by the two together though too heavy for one. So, bearing the ladder between them one at each end, they come to the house. After a considerable amount of exertion they succeed in placing the ladder in an upright osition-against the wall, and then one of the men mounts its steps and enters the ouse. The man left outside soon realised that, once the ladder was balanced per- pendicularly, he himself could then easily control it. Moreover, he made the dis- covery that by resting its weight on each leg alternately, he could gradually shift its position from one window to another. Thus there was no interruption or limit to the extent of their depredations. Experience quickened their perceptions, and ultimately they became adepts in their respective departments—the one in the art of moving the ladder, and the other in the science of the nimble-fingered gentry. The division of labour thus practised by these two men accurately repre- sents what the attainment of the erect attitude has accomplished for man by setting free his upper limbs from any further participation in the locomotion of his body. The continued maintenance of this unique position necessitated great changes in the general structure of the body. The solution of the problem involved the turning of the ordinary quadruped a quarter of a circle in the vertical plane, thus placing the axis of the spine perpendicular, and consequently in line with the direction of the posterior limbs; and to effect this the osseous walls of the pelvis underwent certain modifications, so as to bear the additional strain put upon them. Stability was given to the trunk in its new position by the development of special groups of muscles, whose powerful and combined actions render to the movements of the human body their characteristic freedom and gracefulness. The lower limbs were placed as widely apart as possible at their juncture with the pelvis, and the thigh- and leg-bones were lengthened and strengthened so as to be capable of supporting the entire weight of the body and of transporting it with due efficiency when required. The spinal column assumed its well-known curves, and the skull, which formerly had to be supported by a powerful muscle attached to the spinous processes of the cervical vertebrae (ligamentum nuche), moved backwards until it became nearly equipoised on the top of the vertebral column. The upper limbs, instead of taking part in their original function of locomotion, were now them- selves carried as flail-like appendages, in order to give them as much freedom and range of action as possible. The shoulder-blades receded to the posterior aspect of the trunk, having their axes at right angles to that of the spine. Further, like the haunch-bones, they underwent certain modifications, so as to afford points of attachment to the muscles required in the complex movements of the arms. In the pendulous position each arm has its axis at right angles to that of the shoulder, but by a common muscular effort the two axes can be readily brought into line. The elbow-joint became capable of performing the movements of complete exten- sion, flexion, pronation, and supination—in which respects the upper limb of man is differentiated from that of all other vertebrates. But it is in the distal extremities of the limbs that the most remarkable anatomical changes have to be noted. The foot is virtually a tripod, the heel and the ball of the great toe being the terminal ends of an arch, while the four outer digital columns group themselves together to form the third, or steadying, point. The outer toes thus play but a subordinate part in locomotion, and, as their pre- hensile function is no longer of use, they may be said to be fast approaching to the condition of rudimentary organs. The three osseous prominences which form this tripod are each covered with a soft elastic pad, which both facilitates progression and acts as a buffer for deadening any possible shock which might arise in the course of running or leaping. The chief movement in the act of progression is performed by an enormously developed group of muscles known as the calf of the leg, so characteristic of man. The walker is thereby enabled to use the heel and the ball of the great toe as successive fulcrums from which the forward spring is made, the action being greatly facilitated by that of the trunk muscles in simultaneously bending the body forwards. The human foot is thus admirably adapted to be both a pillar for supporting the weight of the body and a lever for mechanically im- pelling it forwards. Hence the amount of energy expended in progression is 888 REPORT—1893. reduced to a minimum, and when estimated proportionally to the size of the body itis believed to be considerably less than that requisite for the corresponding act in quadrupeds. The anatomical changes effected in the extremity of the upper limb are equally radical, but of a totally different character and scope. Here we have to eontemplate the transformation of the same homologous parts into an apparatus for performing a series of prehensile actions of the most intricate character, but among which neither locomotion nor support of the body forms any part whatever. This apparatus is the human hand, the most complete and perfect mechanical organ nature has yet produced. The fingers have become highly developed, and can be opposed singly or in groups to the thumb, so as to form a hook, a clasp, or a pair of pincers; and the palm can be made into a cup-shaped hollow, capable of grasping a sphere, Nor is there any limit to the direction in which many of these manipulations can be performed without any movement of the rest of the body. For example, a pencil held by the thumb and the two forefingers, as in the act of writing, can be placed in all the directions of space by a mere act of volition. The position of such a perfect piece of mechanism, at the extremity of a movable arm attached to the upper part of the trunk, gives to man a superiority in attack and defence over all other animals, on the same principle as a soldier finds it advantageous to fight from higher ground, Moreover, he possesses the power to perform a variety of quick movements, and to assume attitudes and posi- tions eminently adapted for the exercise of that manipulative skill with which he counteracts the superior brute force of many of his antagonists. He can readily balance his body on one or both legs, can turn on his heels as if they were pivots, and can prostrate himself comfortably in the prone or supine positions. As the centre of gravity of the whole body is nearly in line with the spinal axis, stable equilibrium is easily maintained by the lumbar muscles, Altogether we have in his physical constitution a combination of structures and functions sufficiently unique in its towt-ensemble to place man in a category by himself. But at the same time we must not forget that all his morphological peculiarities have been brought about without the destruction of any of the primary and typical homo- logies common to all the higher vertebrates. Turning now to the brain, the undoubted organ of the mind, we find, in its intellectual and psychical manifestations, a class of phenomena which gives to man’s life-functions their most remarkable character. However difficult it may be for our limited understanding to comprehend the nature of conscious sensation, we are forced to the conclusion that the act invariably takes place through the instrument- ality of a few nerve-cells, whose functional] activity requires to be renovated in precisely the same manner as the muscular force expended in walking. The aggre- gation of such cells into ganglia and nerves, by means of which reflex action, consciousness, and a variety of psychical phenomena take place, is found to per- meate, in a greater or less degree, the whole of the organic world. In the higher vertebrates the seat of these manifestations is almost exclusively confined to an enormous collection of brain substance placed at the upper end of the vertebral column, and encased in a complete osseous covering called the skull. We learn from numerous experimental researches, carried out by physiologists in recent years, that the brain is a dual organ, consisting of a double series of distinct ganglia and connected to some extent by a complex system of nervous tissues, not only with each other, but with the central seat of consciousness and volition. But the diffi- culty of determining the nature of its functions, and the modus operandi of its psychological manifestations, is so great that I must pass over this part of the sub- ject very lightly indeed. The conditions of ordinary reflex action require that a group of muscles, by means of which a particular bodily movement is effected, shall be connected with its co-ordinating ganglion by an afferent and an efferent system of nerves. Impressions from without are conveyed by the former, or sen- sory nerves, to the central ganglion, from which an impulse is retransmitted by the motor nerves, and sets in operation the muscular force for producing the required movement. But this efferent message is, in many cases, absolutely controlled by volition ; and not only can it prevent the muscular action from taking place, but it TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 889 can effect a similar movement de novo without the direct intervention of external impressions at all. Now it has been proved experimentally that the volitional stimulus, which regulates the various movements of the body, starts from definite portions of the brain according to the different results to be produced. This locali- sation of brain functions, though still far from being thoroughly understood, comes very appropriately into use in this inquiry. J*rom it we learn that the homology which characterises the structural elements of the bodies of animals extends also to the component parts of their respective brains. The law which differentiates animals according to the greater specialisation of the functions of their various organs has therefore its counterpart in the brain, and we naturally expect an increase of brain substance in every case in which the functional activity of a specific organ is extended. Thus the act of stitching with a needle and thread, an act beyond the mental and physical capacity of any animal but man, would entail a certain increase of brain substance, simply in obedience to the great com- plexity of the movements involved in its execution, over and above that which may be supposed to be due to the intellectual and reasoning faculties which invented it. That man’s brain and his intelligence are correlated to each other is a fact too axiomatic to require any demonstration; nor can it be doubted that the relation- ship between them is of the nature of cause and effect. But to maintain that the amount of the latter is directly proportional to the size of the former is rather straining the laws of legitimate inference. In drawing any general conclusion of this nature from the bulk of brain substance, there are some modifying influences which cannot be disregarded, such, for example, as the amount of cranial circula- tion and the quality of the brain cells. But the determination of this point is not the exact problem with which the evolutionist is primarily concerned. To him the real crux in the inquiry is to account for the evolution of man’s comparatively large brain under the intluence of existing cosmic forces. After duly considering this problem, and casting about for a possible explanation, I have come to the con- clusion that not only is it the result of natural laws, but that one of the main factors in its production was the conversion of the upper limbs into true hands. From the first moment that man recognised the advantage of using a club or a stone in attacking his prey or defending himself from his enemies, the direct incen- tives to a higher brain development came into existence. He would soon learn by experience that a particular form of club or stone was more suitable for his pur- poses ; and if the desiderated object were not to be found among the natural materials around him, he would proceed to manufacture it. Certain kinds of stones would be readily recognised as better adapted for cutting purposes than others, and he would select his materials accordingly. If these were to be found only in a special locality, he would visit that locality whenever the prized material was needed. Nor would it be an unwarrantable stretch of imagina- tion to suppose that the circumstances would lead him to lay up a store for future use. These simple acts of intelligence assume little more than may be seen in the actions of many of the lower animals. Consciousness of his power to make and to wield a weapon was a new departure in the career of man, and every repe- tition of such acts became an effective and ever-accumulating training force. What a memorable event in the history of humanity was the manufacture of the first sharp stone implement! Our sapient ancestor, who first used a spear tipped with a sharp flint, became possessed of an irresistible power over his fellow men. The invention of the bow and arrow may be parallelled with the discovery of gunpowder and the use of cannon, both of which revolutionised the principles of warfare in their respective ages. The art of making fire had a greater influence on human civilisation than the modern discovery of electricity. The first boat was in all probability a log—an idea which might have been suggested by the sight of an animal clinging to a floating piece of wood carried away bya flood. To scoop this log into a hollow boat was an afterthought. The successive increments of know- ledge by which a single-tree canoe has been transformed into a first-class Atlantic liner are scattered through the unwritten and written annals of many ages. In his expeditions for hunting, fishing, fruit-gathering, &c., primitive man’s acquaintance 890 REPORT— 1893. with the mechanical powers of nature would be gradually extended, and part passu with the increasing range of his knowledge there would be a corresponding development in his reasoning faculties. Natural phenomena suggested reflections as to their causes and effects, and so by degrees they were brought into the cate- gory of law and order. Particular sounds would be used to represent specific objects, and these would become the first rudiments of language. Thus each generalisation when added to his previous little stock of knowledge widened the basis of his intellectual powers, and as the process progressed man would acquire some notion of the abstract ideas of space, time, motion, force, number, &c.; and continuous thought and reasoning would ultimately become habitual to him. All these mental operations could only take place through the medium of additional nerve cells, and hence the brain gradually became more bulky and more complex in its structure. Thus the functions of the hand and of the brain have been corre- lated in'a most remarkable manner. Whether the mechanical skill of the hand preceded the greater intelligence of the brain, or vice versa, I will not pretend to say. But between the two there must have been a constant interchange of gifts. According to Sir C. Bell, ‘the hand supplies all instruments, and by its corre- spondence with the intellect gives him universal dominion.’? That mind, in its higher psychical manifestations, has sometimes been looked upon as a spiritual essence which can exist separately from its material basis need not be wondered at when we consider how the pleasing abstractions of the poet, or the fascinating creations of the novelist, roll out, as it were, from a hidden cavern without the slightest symptom of physical action. It is this marvellous power of gathering and combining ideas, previously derived through the ordinary senses, which gives a prima facie appearance of having here to deal with a force exterior to the brain itself. But indeed it is questionable if such psychological phenomena are really represented by special organic equivalents. May they not be due rather to the power of volitional reflection which summons them from the materials stored up by the various localised portions into which the brain is divided? From this point of view there may be many phases of pure cerebration which, though not the result of direct natural selection, have nevertheless as natural and physical an origin as conscious sensation. Hence imagination, conception, idealisation, the moral faculties, &c., may be compared to parasites which live at the expense of their neighbours. After all the ;greatest mystery of life lies in the simple acts of conscious sensation, and not in the higher mental combinations into which they enter. The highest products of intellectuality are nothing more than the trans- formation of previously existing energy, and it is the power to utilise it that alone finds its special organic equivalent in the brain. But this brings us on controversial ground of the highest importance. Pro- fessor Huxley thus expresses his views on the phase of the argument now at issue :-— ‘T have endeavoured to show that no absolute structural line of demarcation, wider than that between the animals which immediately succeed us in the scale, can be drawn between the animal world and ourselves; and I may add the expression of my belief that the attempt to draw a psychical distinction is equally futile, and that even the highest faculties of feeling and of intellect begin to germinate in lower forms of life.’ On the other hand, Mr. Alfred R. Wallace, who holds such a distinguished position in this special field of research, has promulgated a most remarkable theory. This careful investigator, an original discoverer of the laws of natural selection, and a powerful advocate of their adequacy to bring about the evolution of the entire organic world, even including man up to a certain stage, believes that the cosmic forces are insufficient to account for the development of man in his civilised capacity. ‘Natural selection, he writes, ‘could only have endowed savage man with a brain a few degrees superior to that of an ape, whereas he actually possesses one very little inferior to that of a philosopher.’ This deficiency in the organic 1 The Hand, $c. Bridgewater Treatise, p. 38. 2 Evidences asto Man’s Place in Nature, p. 109. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 891 forces of nature he essays to supply by calling in the guiding influence of a ‘superior intelligence.’ In defending this hypothesis from hostile criticism he ex~- plains that by ‘ superior intelligence’ he means some intelligence higher than the ‘modern cultivated mind,’ something intermediate between it and Deity. But as this is a pure supposition, unsupported by any evidence, and merely a matter of personal belief, it is unnecessary to discuss it further. I would just, en passant, ask Mr. Wallace why he dispenses with this ‘ higher intelligence’ in the early stages of man’s evolution, and finds its assistance only requisite to give the final touches to humanity. In dealing with the detailed objections raised by Mr. Wallace against the theory of natural selection as applied to man, we are, however, strictly within the sphere of legitimate argument; and evolutionists are fairly called upon to meet them. As his own theory is founded on the supposed failure of natural selection to explain certain specified peculiarities in the life of man, it is clear that if these difficulties can be removed, cadit questio. It is only one of his objections, however, that comes within the scope of my present inquiry, viz., that which is founded on the supposed ‘surplusage’ of brain power in savage and prehistoric races. In comparing the brains of the anthropoid apes and man Mr. Wallace adopts. the following numbers to represent their proportional average capacities, viz., anthropoid apes 10, savages 26, and civilised man 32—numbers to which there can be no objection, as they are based on data sufficiently accurate for the requirements of this discussion. In commenting on the mental ability displayed in actual life by the recipients of these various brains he states that savage man has ‘in an vn- developed state faculties which he never requires to use,’ and that his brain is much beyond his actual requirements in daily life. He concludes his argument thus :— ‘We see, then, that whether we compare the savage with the higher developments of man, or with the brutes around him, we are alike driven to the conclusion that in his large and well-developed brain he possesses an organ quite disproportionate to his actual requirements—an organ that seems prepared in advance, only to be fully utilised as he progresses in civilisation. A brain one half larger than that of the gorilla would, according to the evidence before us, fully have sufficed for the limited mental development of the savage; and we must therefore admit that the large brain he actually possesses could never have been solely developed by any of those laws of evolution whose essence is that they lead to a degree of organisation exactly proportionate to the wants of each species, never beyond those wants ; that no preparation can be made for the future development of the race; that one part of the hail can never increase in size or complexity, except in strict co-ordina- tion to the pressing wants of the whole. The brain of prehistoric and of savage man seems to me to prove the existence of some power distinct from that which ae guided the development of the lower animals through their ever-varying forms of being.’? With regard to the closing sentence of the above quotation, let me observe that the cosmic forces, under which the lower animals have been produced by means of natural selection, do not disclose, either in their individual or collective capacity, any guiding power in the sense of a sentient influence, and I believe that the ‘distinct power’ which the author summons to his aid, apparently from the ‘vasty deep,’ to account for the higher development of humanity is nothing more than the gradually acquired product of the reasoning faculties themselves. Not that, for this reason, it is to be reckoned less genuine and less powerful in its. operations than if it had emanated from an outside source. The reasoning power _ displayed by man is virtually a higher intelligence, and, ever since its appearance on the field of organic life, it has, to a certain extent, superseded the laws of natural selection. Physical science has made us acquainted with the fact that two or three simple bodies will sometimes combine chemically so as to produce a new substance, having properties totally different from those of either constituents in a state of disunion. Something analogous tc this has taken place in the development of man’s capacity for reasoning by induction. Its primary elements, which are 1 Natural Selection, Jc., 1891, p. 193. 892 REPORT—1893. also those of natural selection, are conscious sensation, heredity, and a few other properties of organic matter ; elements which are common, in a more or less degree, to all living things. As soon as the sequence of natural phenomena attracted the attention of man, and his intelligence reached the stage of consecutive reasoning on the invariableness of certain effects from given causes, this new power came into existence; and its operations are, apparently, so different from those of its com- ponent elements that they can hardly be recognised as the offspring of natural forces at all. Its application to the adjustment of his physical environments has ever since been one of the most powerful factors, not only in the development of humanity, but in altering the conditions and life-functions of many members of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. I have already pointed out that the brain can no longer be regarded as a single organ, but rather as a series of organs connected by bonds of union—like so many departments in a Government cttice in telephonic communication—all, however, performing special and separate functions. When, therefore, we attempt to com- pare the brain capacity of one animal with that of another, with the view of ascertaining the quality of their respective mental manifestations, we must first determine what are the exact homologous parts that are comparable. To draw any such inference from a comparison of two brains, by simply weighing or measuring the whole mass of each, would be manifestly of no scientitic value. For example, in the brain of a savage the portion representing highly skilled . motor energies might be very much larger, while the portion representing logical power might be smaller, than the corresponding parts in the brain of a philosopher. But should these inequalities of development be such as to balance each other, the weight of the two organs would be equal. In this case what could be the value of any inference as to the character of their mental endowments? Equal-sized brains do not display equivalent, nor indeed analogous, results. To postulate such a doctrine would be as irrational as to maintain that the walking capacities of different persons are directly proportional to the weight of their bodies. Similar remarks are equally applicable to the skulls of prehistoric races, as it would appear that evolution had done the major part of its work in brain development long before the days of neolithic civilisation. Huxley’s well-known description of the Engis skull—‘a fair average skull, which might have belonged to a philosopher, or mizht have contained the thoughtless brains of a savage ’—goes far to settle the question from its anatomical point of view. Until localisation of brain func- tions makes greater progress it is, therefore, futile to speculate to any great extent on the relative sizes of the skulls of different races either in present or prehistoric times. But there is another aspect of the question which militates against Mr. Wallace's hypothesis, viz., the probability that many of the present tribes of savages are, 1n point of civilisation, in a more degenerate condition than their fore- fathers who acquired originally higher mental qualities under natural selection. There must surely be some foundation of truth in the widely-spread tradition of the fall of man. And, if such be the case, we naturally expect to find some stray races with inherited brains of greater capacity than their needs, in more degenerate circumstances, may require. An exact equivalent to this may be seen in the feeble intellectuality of many of the peasants and lower classes among the civilised nations of modern times. Yet a youth born of such parents, if educated, often becomes a distinguished philosopher. It is well known that if an organ ceases to perform its functional work it has a tendency to deteriorate, and ultimately to dis- appear altogether. But from experience we know that it takes a long time for the effects of disuse to become manifest. It is this persistency that accounts for a number of rudimentary organs, still to be met with in the human body, whose functional activity could only have been exercised ages before man became differentiated from the lower animals. Such facts give some support to the suggestion, previously made, that philosophy, as such, has no specially localised portion in the brain. Its function is merely to direct the current of mental forces already existing. But, again, Mr, Wallace’s argumert involves the assumption that the un- TRANSACTIONS. OF SECTION H. 893 - necessarily large brain of the savage had been constructed on teleological principles for the sole purpose of philosophising. My opinion is that the greater portion of this so-called surplusage is the organic representative of the energy expended in the exercise of the enormous complexity of human actions, as displayed in the movements of his body and in the skilful manipulations necessary to the manu- facture of implements, weapons, clothing, &c. All such actions have to be repre- sented by a larger bulk of brain matter than is required for the most profound philosophical speculations. The kind of intelligence evinced by savages, however low their position in the scale of civilisation may be, is different from, and incom- parably greater than, that manifested by the most advanced of the lower animals. To me it is much more rational to suppose that the development of the large brain of man corresponded, pari passz, with that of his characteristic physical attributes, more especially those consequent on the attainment of the upright position. That these attributes were acquired exclusively through the instrumentality of the cosmic forces was, as the following quotation will show, the opinion of Mr. Darwin :—‘ We must remember that nearly al] the other and more important differences between man and quadrumana are manifestly adaptive in their nature, and relate chiefly to the erect position of man; such as the structure of his hand, foot, and pelvis, the curvature of his spine, and the position of his head.’ ? Mr. Wallace, however, considers the feet and hands of man ‘as difficulties on the theory of natural selection” ‘How,’ he exclaims, ‘can we conceive that early man, as an animal, gained anything by purely erect locomotion? Again, the hand of man contains latent capacities and powers which are unused by savages, and must have been even less used by paleolithic man and his still ruder predecessors, It has all the appearance of an organ prepared for the use of civilised man, and one which was required to render civilisation possible.’? But here, again, this acute observer diverges into his favourite by-path, and introduces a ‘higher intelligence’ to bridge over his difficulties. We have now reached a stage in this inquiry when a number of questions of a more or Jess speculative character fall to be considered. On the supposition that, at the start, the evolution of the hand of man was synchronous with the higher development of his reasoning faculties, it is but natural to ask where, when, and in what precise circumstances this remarkable coalition took place. I would not, however, be justified in taking up your time now in discussing these questions in detail; not because I think the materials for their solution are unattainable, but because, in the present state of our knowledge, they are too conjectural to be of scientific value. In the dim retrospective vista which veils these materials from our cognisance I can only see a few faint landmarks. All the osseous remains of man which have hitherto been collected and examined point to the fact that, during the larger portion of the Quaternary period, if not, indeed, from its very commencement, he had already acquired his human characteristics. This generalisa- tion at once throws us back to the Tertiary period in our search for man’s early appear- ance in Europe. Another fact—disclosed by an analysis of his present corporeal structure—is that, during a certain phase of his previous existence, he passed through a stage when his limbs, like those of the present anthropoid apes, were adapted for an arboreal life. We have therefore to look for the causes which brought about the separation of man from his. quadrumanous congeners, and entailed on him such a transformation in his form and habits, in the physical condi- tions that would supervene on a change from a warm to acold climate. In the gradual lowering of the temperature of the subtropical climate which prevailed in Central Europe and the corresponding parts of Asia during the Miocene and Pliocene periods, and which culminated in the great Ice age, together with the concurrent changes in the distribution of land, seas, and mountains, we have the most probable explanation of these causes. Whether man forsook his arboreal habits and took to the plains from overcrowding of his own species in search of different kinds of food, before this cold period subjected him to its intensely adverse circumstances, it would be idle for me to offer an opinion. LEquully conjectural 1 Descent of Man, p. 149. 2 Natural Sciection, p. 198. 894 REPORT—1893. would it be to inquire into the exact circumstances which led him to depend ex- clusively on his posterior limbs for locomotion. During this early and transitional period in man’s career there was no room for ethics. Might was right, whether it emanated from the strength of the arm, the skill of the hand, or the cunning of the brain. Life and death combats would decide the fate of many competing races. The weak would succumb to the strong, and ulti- mately there would survive only such as could hold their own by flight, strength, agility, or skill, just as we find among the races of man at the present day. In summing up these somewhat discursive observations, let me just emphasise the main points of the argument. With the attainment of the erect position, and the consequent specialisation of his limbs into hands and feet, man entered ona new phase of existence. With the advantage of manipulative organs and a pro- gressive brain he became Homo sapiens, and gradually developed a capacity to understand and utilise the forces of nature. As a handicraftsman he fashioned tools and weapons, with the skilful use of which he got the mastery over all other animals, With a knowledge of the uses of fire, the art of cooking his food, and the power of fabricating materials for clothing his body, he accommodated himself to the vicissitudes of climate, and so greatly extended his habitable area on the globe. As ages rolled on he accumulated more and more of the secrets of nature, and every such addition widened the basis for further discoveries, Thus com- menced the grandest revolution the organic world has ever undergzone—a revolu- tion which culminated in the transformation of a brute into civilised man. During this long transitional period mankind encountered many difficulties, perhaps the most formidable being due to the internecine struggles of inimical members of their own species. In these circumstances the cosmic processes, formerly all- powerful so long as they acted only through the constitution of the individual, were of less potency than the acquired ingenuity and aptitude of man himself. Hence local combinations for the protection of common interests became necessary, and with the rise of social organisations the safety of the individual became merged in that of the community. The recognition of the principle of the division of labour laid the foundations of subsequent nationalities, arts, and sciences. Coin- cident with the rise of such institutions sprang up the germs of order, law, and ethics. The progress of humanity on these novel lines was slow, but in the main steadily upwards. No doubt the advanced centres of the various civilisations would oscillate, as they still do, from one region to another, according as some new discovery gave a preponderance of skill to one race over its opponents. Thus the civilised world of modern times came to be fashioned, the outcome of which has been the creation ofa special code of social and moral laws for the protection and guidance of humanity. Obedience to its behests is virtue, and this, to use the recent words of a profound thinker, ‘involves a course of conduct which, in all respects, is opposed to that which leads to success in the cosmic struggle for existence. In place of ruthless self-assertion it demands self-restraint; in place of thrusting aside or treading down all competitors, it requires that the individual shall not merely respect but shall help his fellows; its influence is directed, not so much to the survival of the fittest, as to the fitting of as many as possible to survive. It repu- diates the gladiatorial theory of existence. It demands that each man who enters into the enjoyment of the advantages of a polity shall be mindful of his debt to those who have laboriously constructed it; and shall take heed that no act of his weakens the fabric in which he has been permitted to live. Laws and moral precepts are directed to the end of curbing the cosmic process and reminding the individual of his duty to the community, to the protection and influence of which he owes, if not existence itself, at least the life of something better than a brutal savage.’ } These humble remarks will convey to your minds some idea of the scientific interest and profound human sympathies evoked by the far-reaching problems which fall to be discussed in this Section. Contrasting the present state of anthro- pological science with its position some thirty or forty years ago, we can only marvel 1 Huxley, on Evolution and Ethics, p. 33. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 895 at the thoroughness of the change that has taken place in favour of its doctrines, Now man’s immense antiquity is accepted by a vast majority of the most thoughtful men, and his place in nature, as a derivative animal at the head of the great; chain of life, appeals for elucidation to all sciences and to all legitimate methods of research. But among the joyful pzeans of this triumphal march we still hear some discordant notes—notes, however, which seem to me to die with their echoes, and to have as little effect on scientific progress as the whistling of an idle wind. For my own part I cannot believe that a science which seelis in the spirit of truth to trace the mysteries of human life and civilisation to their primary rootlets, a science which aims at purging our beliefs of superstitious figments generated in days when scientific methods were too feeble to expose the errors on which they were founded, a science which reminds us in a thousand ways that success in life depends ona correct knowledge of the cosmic forces around us, can be opposed to the highest and most durable interests of humanity. The following Papers and Reports were read :— 1. On the Ethnographic Aspect of Dancing. By Mrs. Litty Grovn, £.2.G.S. Dancing corresponds to a universal primitive instinct in man. The value of a scientific study of dancing as illustrating some aspects of ethnology is very great. At all periods there were three kinds of dances:—1. The imaginative or poetic. 2. The descriptive. 3. The religious. This last is most important, and may be called the fountain of the other kinds. Dancing is connected with every ancient myth. Among the savages the idea of magic always accompanies it. Religious dances can be divided in (a) dances directly in honour of the Deity; (b) dances on various occasions intended to propitiate the Deity. A strange feature is the fact that.so many dances are performed in a circle. Swn-dances are numerous. War- dances are of two orders, either as a preparation for war or as a rejoicing after triumph. The Corrobberree illustrates the former aspect. Excellence in dancing among savages is obtained by very simple means; anyone who makes a mistake in the dance is killed. Women take a larger share in the dance than men. This is accounted for by Herbert Spencer. Marriage-dances are found in every tribe. So are devil-dances, used as exorcisms or as a medicine cure. The dance of the Veddahs of Ceylon, the Baile de Pifano of Chili, the skeleton-dance of Australia, belong to this class. Dancing in the cathedrals of Spain and Mexico is traced back to a Hebrew custom, and to King David’s act of adoration. Dancing may be the outcome of pain and sorrow as well as the expression of joy. Funeral dances are common in Nubia and Central America, and were much in favour with the ancient Egyptians. In conclusion, the universality and the naturalness of dancing make it an important factor in the history of man. 2. Report on the Anthropometric Laboratory.—See Reports, p. 654. 3.

The replies show that some form of measurement is, or has been, carried on in twenty-tive schools, details of which will be found in the table below (Table 1). They also show that the methods adopted differ considerably (Table 2), a fact which somewhat detracts from the value of the observations for comparative purposes. The advantages of systematic measurements of boys from the scholastic and the scientific points of view are alluded to, and it is suggested that an endeavour should be made to encourage and systematise such work in large schools, TaBLeE 1.—Measurements Taken (Number of Schools, 25).

Some 25,000 separate weighings, made by the author in the course of years, afford some results interesting to the Section, notwithstanding that others, forming the greater part of his observations, are outside its scope. Thus, in June 1892, twelve men of the Horse Guards were tested. Apart from the bodyweight, together with height, breathing capacity, &c., of these fine fellows, it is suggestive to notice the immense weight of the accoutrements which they wear as ordinarily seen in public. The charts shown also illustrated the following points, viz., the relation of weight to chest-girth, the regular growth of girls, and the remarkable increase which occurs at the time of emergence into womanhood, rapid loss of nutrition associated with departure from home routine, weight in corpulency, and the effect of alcohol and of its cessation. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 165. The following Report and Papers were read :— 1. Report on the Ethnographical Survey of the United Kingdom. See Reports, p. 621. 2. On Anglo-Saxon Remains and Coeval Relics from Scandinavia. By Professor Hans HILDEBRAND. 3. On the Origin and Development of Eurly Christian Art in Great Britain and Ireland. By J. Rominty Auien, F.S8.A.Scot. The object of this paper is to trace the various decorative elements found in early Christian art in Great Britain to their source, and to show in what way the native styles of art existing in this country at the time of the introduction of TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 897 Christianity (circa a.D. 450) were influenced, first by the Italo-Byzantine art, which came in with the importation of the illuminated MSS. used in the service of the Church, and subsequently by the coming in contact of the Anglo-Saxon, and Scandinavian conquering races with the Celtic and other populations already inhabiting the British Isles. Early Christian art in this country is essentially decorative, and to a lesser extent symbolic. The conventional grouping and general treatment of the figure-subjects show that they are obviously barbarous copies of Byzantine originals, If any definite conclusions are to be arrived at with regard to the evolution of early Christian art in Great Britain, it must be by a eareful examination and comparison of the minute details of the ornament. The ornament consists of the following elements :— (1) Interlaced work 2) Key patterns : Step patterns \ Geometrical. Spirals J (5) Zosmorphie designs \ Suggested by animal, human, and (6) Anthropomorphic designs vegetable forms, (7) Phyllomorphic designs The possible sources whence each of these different patterns was derived are next to be considered. These are divided into the native or imported styles of deco- rative art existing in Great Britain previous to the introduction of Christianity— namely, the art of the ages of stone, bronze, and iron, and Romano-British art; and the external sources, made accessible after a.D, 450—namely, the Italo-Byzantine, Anglo-Saxon, and Scandinavian styles. The spirals are to be traced to a ‘late Celtic’ source in the late iron age, the interlaced work and phyllomorphic designs to an Italo-Byzantine source, the step patterns possibly to a Saxon source, the zodmorphic designs perhaps to a Scandinavian source, and the key patterns to the classical fret adapted to suit the diagonal setting-out lines usually employed in drawing early Christian ornament in Great Britain. 4. On an Implement of Hafted Bone, with a Hippopotamus Tooth inserted, from Calf Hole, near Grassington. By Rev. E. Jones. 6. The Prehistoric Evolution of Theories of Punishment, Revenge, and Atonement. By Rev. G. Hartweuu Jones. Even the brilliant civilisation of Kulturvélker retains traces of a primitive bar- barism. While the investigations of Waitz, Tylor, Lubbock, &c., into the life of Naturvélker are instructive in showing the growth of thought, the origin of institu- tions must be looked for among ‘ Aryans.’ Wherever they come from, or, more correctly speaking, whenever the phase of civilisation associated with the name Aryan came into existence, their high capacity for development was evoked or stimulated by contact with Semitic or Hamitic races. A further attempt is made here, by the aid of (i.) philology, (ii.) archeology in its widest sense, to bridge the gulf between the rude notions of the Urvolk and distinct developments in Southern Europe. The features considered here are found, not only among Kwlturvélker, but also among unprogressive races from the Antipodes to Archangel. Yet, not only are there differences between ‘Aryan’ and Semitic conceptions, but even deviations among branches of the same family of races. Though it has been maintained, on the high authority of Ottfried Miiller and Philippi, that the Greek legal systems originated independently, Leist, no doubt rightly, traces them to a common inheritance. The richness of the sources varies with the mental endowments, the intellectual activity, and the literary monuments of the several races. The question of punishment, &c., had its (1) religious, (2) secular aspect. As among many rude races in modern times there is no system of publie 1893. 3M 898 REPORT—1893. punishment, so there the act of retaliation devolved upon the individual injured. Still, it is not entirely a private matter, for itis part of the system of centralisation : in the first degree under the head of the family, in the second under the sacerdotal classes, the chieftain, prince, or king, or both together. Though the phases overlap we may distinguish (I.) punishment by the individual ; (I1.) punishment by the community or its representative. ie Punishment by the individual_—The custom is widespread and far older than ‘ Aryans,’ and the reason for it is evident—because the organisation of society is too loose. The first points considered were, Who took the initiative, and was the act intentional ? Offences calling for retribution—The Greek conception of dBpis and dpxew xetpav adikor. (i.) Injury, including such offences as adultery and incest, which were visited with the severest penalties. (ii.) Theft: its recognition attested by the antiquity of such words as clepere = khéros. (iii.) Assault, not confined to the plaintiff's person. Murder : its far-reaching consequences. Murder by (i.) weapon; (ii.) burning ; (iii.) poison. Murder (a) culpable; (8) pardonable; (y) justifiable; (8) pre- meditated. These offences might be manifest, in which case they were avenged on the spot ; or non-manifest, in which case examination was necessary. Methods of procedure.—The superstition of pacyadifev ; the imprecation; the avenging fiend. (A) Punishment by the spirit of the murdered. (B) Punishment by relatives. First phase: passion for revenge; linguistic evidence. Second phase: execution ; guilt falls upon the head; the vendetta; talio ; asyla ; banishment. Third phase: reparation by fine ; linguistic evidence. (a) Fines paid to person or relatives acrording to the member maimed or the rank of the injured. Anglo- Saxon, wergeld ; Old Welsh, galanas; mown; pena. (8) Restitution to the com- munity ; éemBodn; Lat. muita ; and Old Welsh, sarhaad. Parricide: its heinous and unnatural character; the sack punishment ; imperilled family succession and worship; at first unpardonable, later expiable. The ideas of purification, &c., elaborated in the Indian Prayageitta. II. Punishment by the community or representatives hardly falls within the scope of this inquiry, being of later growth. Though found in rudimentary forms at an early period, society did not directly interfere, except to regulate punishment. The authorities by whom it was exercised = (i.) the head of the family, patria potestas; the priest; the king; Sanskrit danda ; (ii.) tribunals: Areopagus ; Ephete ; Curia. Punishment in the neat world.—The growth of these ideas, of revenge, punish- ment, and atonement, mirrored in Homer, where poems, as, e.g., ‘ Iliad,’ xviii. 497-508, if microscopically examined, reveal the successive stages of growth. 7. ‘Four’ as a Sacred Number. By Miss A. W. Buck ann. Miss Buckland, in following out the subject of a former paper read before the Anthropological Section, entitled ‘Points of Contact between Old-world Myths and Customs and the Navajo Myth entitled ‘The Mountain Chant,”’ finds so many allusions to ‘four’ as a sacred number, and its connection with the cardinal points, and to the cross as a symbol of these points, or of the winds blowing from TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 899 them, that she has thought it desirable to place on record the numerous cases in which this symbolism is in accord with the ancient Central American sculptures and the Mexican picture-writings; also to trace the same symbolism in the Old World, believing that through it may be found a key to many migrations, and to much of the intercourse between the Old World and the New in prehistoric times. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. The following Papers were read :— 1. On Ancient Metal Implements from Egypt and Lachish. By Dr. J. H. Guapstonz.—See p. 715. 2. Notes on Flint Saws and Sickles. By Rosert Munro, M.D. The announcement a few years ago of the discovery, by Dr. Flinders Petrie, of corn sickles made of wooden casings, having as teeth a number of serrated flint flakes inserted along a groove in the concave edge of the implement, and the almost simultaneous publication by Dr. Munro of the discovery of double-handed saws similarly constructed in the Polada lake-dwelling in Italy, have led to a speculative discussion? as to whether or not the so-called flint saws, so abundantly found among the prehistoric remains of all countries in Europe, might not have been the eliminated teeth of such saws or sickles. The author of this paper sees in this discussion an occasion for reviewing the materials in Western Europe bearing on the problem thus raised. In the abundance of flint saws during the Stone Age in Europe, contrasted with the rarity of this implement when made of bronze in the succeeding age, he recognised a primd facie argument in favour of the existence of such compound sickles, The result of his investigation into the matter is thus stated : ‘In conclusion, we must not forget that our primary basis of facts rests on the productions of two widely distant archeological areas, which must therefore be treated separately and independently of each other. The discovery of these very interesting Egyptian sickles can, at best, be only used as a hypothetical suggestion of the existence of analogous implements elsewhere. In support of the theory that such sickles were in use among the prehistoric people of Western Europe, the author finds in this rapid review of existing materials little or no evidence. On the other hand, the compound Polada saws are equally suggestive of a wider application, and we may, with greater probability of success, look out for the remains of similar implements among the débris of prehistoric civilisations beyond that of the lake- dwellings of Europe.’ 3. On Prehistoric Remains in Crete. By Joun L. Myres. The objects described were obtained from a cave in the valley above Kamfrais, on the south side of the mountain mass of Psilariti (Mount Ida) in Crete. They consist wholly of fragments of pottery, of shapes which resemble somewhat those of the pre-Mykenzan pottery from Santorin, Syra, and Amorgdés, but decorated with fine black glaze, and, above this, with geometrical and floral patterns in white, yellow, and two shades of red. On one fragment part of a human figure is represented, in a style which recalls that of some Mykenzan examples. Some points of likeness have been noticed between these specimens and those found by Professor Flinders Petrie at Kahun, and attributed by him to the period of the twelfth Egyptian dynasty. But until a further examination has been made of the Kamarais cave it is impossible to date the new find with any certainty. 1 Archeological Journal, vol, xlix. pp. 53, 164. 3M 2 900 REPORT—1893. 4.

The subjects that are treated at greatest length in this paper relate to super- stition and general customs. In the description of the ‘N’Kimba’ ceremony of the Lower Congo natives we learn, for the first time, the motive for this remark- able ‘secret society,’ Native eloquence is a subject containing interesting in- formation ; but the most important subjects are those which bear briefly upon women, their condition and circumstances. ‘The method of cicatrisation, which is a universal practice among the tribes of the Upper Congo, is described ; and much concise information is given concerning the adornment and decoration of the Congo natives in that portion of the paper devoted to costume. 4. On the Mad Head. By Crocxiey Crapnam, M.D. The author stated that the older phrenology of Gall had been superseded by Ferrier’s cerebral localisation. He then gave some results of his examination of nearly 4,000 insane heads. For statistics and particulars he referred to papers by him (‘Brain Weights and Head Measurements of Insane’) in Hack-Tuke’s ‘ Psy- chological Dictionary.’ His observations were drawn from eight asylums in the north of England and south of Scotland, and these compared with a number of sane heads. Insane heads he found to show a larger average size than sane ones, though insane brains were smaller. His standard of comparison was by a cranial index, which he obtains by adding together the measurements of the whole circumference and the antero-posterior and transverse arches of the head. Of these measure- ments that of the transverse arch was the only one smaller in the insane, and was in fact the weak point in the insane. The cranial index he found further useful, as when expressed in inches it indicated nearly the weight of the normal contained brain in ounces. Female heads were smaller and more symmetrical than male. Heads increased in size with increased body height and weight; heads of those over forty years of age larger than those under forty; larger in dark- than in fair-complexioned individuals; larger in insane professional men than in TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 901 other classes of insane, and also larger than in sane professional men. Gardeners had the smallest heads. Bricklayers’ heads were larger than cabinetmakers’. A table was shown illustrating the fact that heads enlarged as you went north, but not regularly, as the smallest heads were from Perthshire. The frontal segment of head circumference bore a darger proportion to whole circumference in insane, which, with the fact of frontal lobes weighing more in proportion to whole encephalon in idiots and imbeciles than in total insane class, and the fact that the typical insane head was cuneiform with the greatest transverse diameter anterior to central point of head, seemed to discredit the ‘noble forehead,’ and point out the occipital lobes as the seat of intelligence. This was supported by facts of brain development and comparative cerebral anatomy, as well as by the flat occiput of idiots and the cerebellum of the Bushmen projecting beyond the occipital lobes. 5. On the Dards and Siah-Posh Kafirs. By J. Beppo, M:D., P.R.S., and Dr. Leitner. 6. Pin-wells and Rag-bushes. By HE, Sipyey Hartuann, F.S.A. Professor Rhys has lately brought together a number of instances, in Wales and the Isle of Man, in which persons frequenting sacred wells for the cure of disease and other purposes have been in the habit of throwing pins into the water, stuffing rags under stones, or tying rags upon adjacent trees; and he has discussed the reasons for these practices, suggesting that the pins are offerings and the rags are vehicles for the transfer of the disease. The object of the present paper is to consider these and other suggestions. A few of the most characteristic observances at wells now or formerly held sacred in Wales are first brought together. They are compared with ancient and modern observances on the continent of Europe and elsewhere at sacred wells, crosses, trees, temples, and other objects of super- stition. Professor Rhys’ suggestions, and the theory recently put forward by M. Monseur in the ‘Bulletin de Folklore’ as to the observances at sacred crosses and trees, are then discussed. M. Gaidoz, ten years ago, in the ‘Revue de lHistoire des Religions,’ dealing with the same class of cases as M. Monseur, ex- pressed the opinion that pins and nails were merely substantial reminders for the deity whose aid was invoked. None of these solutions, however, fulfils all the conditions. A satisfactory solution must apply equally to the crosses and shrines as to the wells and trees, to the driving of nails as to the dropping of pins and the tying of rags. It is therefore suggested that the object of the usages was union with the divinity, to be achieved by the perpetual contact with the god of some article identified with the worshipper. It cannot, of course, be denied that the ideas of offerings and of transfer of disease have attached to some of the rites in later times; but it is submitted that the original intention was different, and that these explanations only arose after the real motive was forgotten. 7. On the Primitive Americans. By Miss J. M. WEtcu. 8. On the Indians of the Mackenzie and Yukon Rivers, Canada. By the Right Rev. Dr. Bompas, Bishop of Selkirk. These Indians are of Mongolian race, and appear to have migrated from Asia. They are distinct from the Esquimaux and other circumpolar races. Their languages are agglutinative, and in some cases almost monosyllabic. They dress in skins, inhabit houses of skins stretched over wooden frames, and occupy themselves mainly with hunting. Their arrows are pointed with bone, flint, and more recently with iron, and hammer-headed arrows are used for striking small birds. In summer they live largely on the great rivers in canoes of pine trunks or birch bark; heavy 902 REPORT—1893. loads of meat are transported in large boats of moose-skin. They practise ivory and wood carving, produce fire by means of a drill, cook their food in water-tight wicker baskets, and formerly tattooed their persons with characteristic marks. The dead are exposed on platforms, out of reach of the wild beasts. European culture is fast obliterating the national peculiarities. 9. On the Australian Natives. By Miss J. A. Fowuer. 10.

Recent Introduction into the Indian Army of the Method of Finger Prints for the Identification of Recruits. By Francis Gauron, F.R.S. Mr. Galton read copies of official letters just received by him from Surgeon Lieut.-Colonel Hendley, of Jeypore, who had memorialised the authorities in India in fayour of affixing to the nominal roll of recruits an impression in ink of the fore, middle, and ring fingers of each recruit, offering at the same time to do so in respect to those whom he himself examined for fitness to serve. In reply the Commander- in-Chief ‘approved of the proposal to employ prints of finger-tips as marks for identification, as they are so extremely easy to make, and so useful in guarding against personation.’ Surgeon Lieut.-Colonel Hendley has had considerable experience in taking such imprints, having already sent to Mr. Galton those of the ten digits of nearly 1,000 persons, most of whom were prisoners in the gaol of Jeypore. 2. On the Excavation of the Stone Circle of Lag-ny-Boiragh on the Meayll Hill at Port Erin, Isle of Man. By P.M. C. Kermops, F.S.A.Scot., and Professor W. A. Herpman, F.R.S. This was found on excavation to be a circle of eighteen graves arranged in six sets of three. In each set two graves are tangentially placed, and the third is radial, projecting outwards from the circle. For such a triradiate arrangement the term ‘tritaph’ is proposed. The sides and ends of the tangential graves are usually formed of single large stones (up to ten feet in length), while the radial graves (?) have two pairs of smaller upright stones at their sides, and no end stones. Possibly they may have been built as passages, but remains of cinerary urns were found in them, as well as in the tangential graves. About two feet from the surface was the floor of the grave, composed of flat slabs of various sizes, and under these slabs we found the broken urns, charcoal, fragments of charred bone, black oily earth, several flint arrow-heads, scrapers, knives, &c. Near the floor of the grave was also found in every case a number of rounded white quartz stones, evidently brought up from the sea-shore. A full account of the excavation will be published shortly in the ‘Trans. Biol. Soc. Liverpool,’ vol. viii. TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 903 3. On the Structure of Lake Dwellings. By Rosert Munro, M.D. In this communication Dr. Munro described the various methods adopted by the lake-dwellers in the construction of the under-structures and platforms on which their huts had been placed :— (1) Pfahibauten, or pile-structures proper. (2) Solid basements of wood, or islands made of mixed materials, crannogs, fascine structures, &c. (8) Cellular basements of beams arranged like a log-house. After noticing the fragmentary indications of huts collected from time to time on the sites of lake-dwellings, the author went on to describe the ruins of a cottage exposed a few years ago by peat-cutters at the Schussenried, Wiirtemberg. It was of a rectangular shape, measuring thirty-three feet long by twenty-three feet broad, and its walls were constructed of wooden beams plastered over with clay. Its interior was divided into two compartments, one of which contained a hearth. Dr. Munro then gave a description of an equally important discovery recently made in Argyllshire. This was a crannog showing foundations of a circular house thirty-two feet in diameter, and also divided into two compartments, one of which contained a hearth and the remains of a doorway. 4, A British Village of Marsh Dwellings at Glastonbury. By Artaur Buuwer, F.S8.A. This village, discovered by Mr. Arthur Bulleid in March 1892, is situated a little more than a mile north of the town of Glastonbury, in the upper part of one of the moorland levels of Central Somerset found to the south of the Mendip Hills. The site is fourteen miles from the coast of the Bristol Channel, but only about 15 feet above high-water level. Aslate as 1540 the neighbouring lands were occupied either by areas of water or swamp, one mere being five miles round. The village is bounded on its east side by a natural watercourse, There is little on the surface to indicate the site of a village, but on careful in- spection between sixty and seventy low circular mounds may be seen, varying from 15 to 35 feet in diameter, and from 6 inches to 2 ft. 6 in. highat the centre. These form the foundations or floors of separate dwellings, which are constructed in the following way :—On the surface of the peat is a layer or platform of timber and brushwood kept in place by numerous small piles at the margin. On this a layer of clay is placed, slightly raised at the centre, where the remains of a hearth are generally found. The dwelling itself was composed of timber filled in with wattle and daub. Not only have the wall-pcsts been found in situ, but also the entrance threshold and doorstep. The extent of the ground covered by the sixty or seventy mounds measures more than 400 feet north and south, by 300 feet east and west. The east border of the settlement has been met with, and is well defined by a thick line of piles and timber. This side of the village was undoubtedly, to begin with, protected by water, which in course of time was replaced by an accumulation of a peaty nature. It is in and on this formation outside the settlement that many interesting struc- tures entering into the construction of the village have been unearthed, such as banks of clay and stone, morticed timber and hurdlework. Among other things that have been discovered is a boat 17 feet long, quantities of wheel and hand- made pottery, sling stones, and bones of animals, and a great number of objects of bronze and iron, horn, bone, and stone, such as fibule and rings, knives, saws and weapons, combs, needles, pottery stamps, and querns. 5.

The author exhibited and described a quantity of flints that had attained a highly polished or grooved surface from having been used for polishing. Several of these had been elaborately shaped for use, and presented two or more smoothed or polished facets. They were ordinary nodules, tabular flint, echini, shells or shell-casts filled with flint and broken or worn to a fine surface, &c. Many of them have been polished neolithic axes, and have served as hammer stones and other purposes as well as polishers. A great number are small spear-heads and arrow-heads. In many cases they have been worn to a considerable degree. They come from numerous places, but chiefly the Thames Valley, Keut. 7. On Paleolithic Anchors, Anvils, Hammers, and Drills. By H. Sropes. The author pointed out the great importance of ascertaining the history of the development of tools, as the increase of mental power was greatly secured by improved skill in the manufacture and use of tools. The action was (and is) reflex. The author defined tools as objects made and used intelligently for a specific purpose, not missiles or other things used naturally, although it is not yet possible to distinguish many of these objects. Many specimens of flint and other stones were exhibited that bore traces of having been made and used as anchors, net weights, _ sinkers, &c., that were trimmed, round holes occurring naturally in the stone. The use and fabrication of these, and also the wood and bone doubtless worked at the same time, led to the use of anvils, hammers, and drills, many of which were shown. Especial attention was drawn to one form of drill that, with a point and cutting edges, strongly resembles modern steel augurs or centre-bits. All these tools have been found at Northfleet, Kent, at the Milton Street pit, 1U0 feet above 0.D., excepting a few older ones from the higher plateau of Kent. These possess the characteristic deep-red ferruginous tint, and are weil worked and waterworn. 8.
