Abstract
THE International Committee of Weights and Measures, which was established in consequence of the Metric Convention of 1873, has recently issued its fifteenth annual report to the Governments represented at that Convention.1 The committee have also lately published the minutes of their proceedings (Procès-Verbaux des Séances. Paris, 1892. 1 vol. 8vo) at the annual meeting held at Paris in September, 1891. It appears to be hardly possible that the proceedings of the committee at their meeting which was held last month may be issued before next year, but from the above publications, as well as from a recent volume of their “Travaux et Memoires,”we gather that they continue to carry on their investigations with all despatch.
