Abstract
THE previous volumes of the series of publications from the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, which have been published annually, have contained a reprint of the original publications contributed during the year by the staff and students of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, Harvard University. The volume before us differs somewhat in scope and intention from its predecessors, for it is dedicated to Prof. John Trowbridge on the occasion of his retirement from the directorship of the laboratory. An excellent photograph of Prof. Trowbridge is given in the frontispiece, and the following dedication is included:ββTo John Trowbridge, who projected a great physical laboratory for Harvard University and found the means to build and equip it, who by his foresight, invention, and care has kept this laboratory among the foremost in opportunities for scientific achievement, and by his magnanimity has made it a place proverbial for good feeling, this volume is gratefully and affectionately dedicated by those who have profited by his labours and enjoyed his friendship.β
