Abstract
IN my “Preliminary Note,” as read at the Royal Society meeting, June 15 last (NATURE, vol. xlviii. p. 311), the first paragraph reciting “The laws connecting pairs of axes, by successive rotations round which a given displacement of a rigid body in space may be effected,” should read: “If the first axis is taken arbitrarily in a plane parallel to that of the ‘central axis,’ and any given direction meeting it, to which latter the axis remains parallel, there is a direction determined to which its conjugate must be parallel, in the side common to three quadric cones the constants of which are functions of ζ′ and the vectors defining the displacement and the position of the first axis.”
