Abstract
THE results of the scientific investigations made under the directions of the Comité International des Poids et Mesures at their Bureau at Sèvres during the past year are stated in vol. v. of their “Travaux et Mémoires,” recently published (Gauthier-Villars, Paris, 1886) under the authority of the Director of the Bureau. This volume contains the following papers:—“Note sur l'étallonage des sous-divisions d'une règle, sur l'étude des erreurs progressives d'une vis micrométrique, et sur le calibrage des thermomètres,” by Dr. O. J. Broch; “Études thermométriques,” by M. Ch. Ed. Guillaume; “Études sur la balance,” by Dr. M. Thiesen; “Sur quelques analyses chimiques faites pour le Bureau International,” by M. Tornöe. The two latter memoirs, however, are published under the responsibility of their authors.
