Abstract
LONDON. Mathematical Society, Dec. 13,1894.—Major Macmahon, F.R.S., President, and subsequently Mr. A. E. H. Love, F. R.S., Vice-President, in the chair.—The following communications were made:—On Maxwell's law of partition of energy, by Mr. G. H. Bryan. In his recent report to the British Association, the author had shown that if a large number of dynamical systems of any kind be taken, all similar in every respect, it is always possible to distribute their coordinates and momenta so that the distribution shall remain permanent, and shall satisfy Maxwell's law of partition of energy.
