Abstract
THE first volume of this monograph gives an excellent and condensed account of the methods by which ions are generated and destroyed, and of the laws which govern their passage through a gas. In the first part of the second volume the various forms assumed by the electrical discharge through gases are discussed, and so far as possible explained in terms of the conclusions reached in the first volume. The treatment is intended as a necessary basis for the understanding of the conduction of electricity through gases, and does not pretend to be complete.
