Abstract
SINCE the classic researches of Maxwell on the internal friction of gases and those of Crookes on radiometer theory, no investigations have been so important in connexion with the kinetic theory of gases as the work of Martin Knudsen on the properties of highly rarefied gases, in which the mutual collisions of the molecules may be neglected. Dr. Jos. ter Heerdt has produced a very clear monograph in which the work of Knudsen and that of some other investigators, Soddy and Berry, Gaede, Langmuir, Weber, etc. (scattered in many periodicals), is brought together and critically discussed.
