Abstract
LAST January I proposed a theory of electric charge which led to a definite prediction of the numerical value of the constant hc/2πe2;. Since then I have been trying to obtain fuller insight into the more obscure parts of the theory—places where it was necessary to trust to a sense of analytical form rather than to any definite conception of the physical or geometrical meaning of the formulæ. I think that I have now been able to bring the theory into an improved form.
