Abstract
THE “Handbuch der biologischen Arbeitsmethoden,” edited by Prof. Emil Abderhalden, will consist of forty-eight parts, in which chemical, physical, biological, psychological, and many other methods are treated at considerable length. The section under notice, by E. Budde, is devoted to the mathematical theory of audition. The first division of this contains a very full discussion of free and forced small vibrations of a point, followed by systems under non-linear forces, including combination tones. The second division deals with strings and membranes, while the thirdo refers to plane-waves in air. Having thus laid the foundation, the author passes to the detailed treatment of human audition, in which he reviews the interpretations of the phenomena put forward by the chief workers on the subject, but dwells especially on the parts played by the basilar membrane and the endolymph.
