Abstract
REFERRING to the paper on this subject, read on May 16, by Mr. J. A. McClelland, at the Cambridge Philosophical Society, and reported in your issue of June 9 (p. 142), perhaps I may be allowed to mention that very similar experiments, with the deduction that the effect is chiefly due to light, and not to electrolytic or other action, were described by myself in a paper to Section A of the British Association, at its Edinburgh meeting in 1892, and will be found fully reported in the Electrical Review for August 26 of that year.
