Abstract
THE first edition of this exhaustive work was reviewed in the issue of NATURE for April 29, 1909 (vol. lxxx., p. 243). The editors point out in the present edition that the conclusions arrived at in the papers which have been published since the first appearance of the volume have mainly confirmed the opinions advocated in it; and consequently they decided only to add a supplementary bibliography of eight pages, recording the most important work published since 1908. In many instances the contents and conclusions of the papers included in the bibliography are indicated sufficiently in their titles; in other cases a brief summary of their contents has been added.
