Abstract
LONDON Chemical Society, May 15.—Dr. Odling, F.R.S., president, the chair.—Dr. H. S. Armstrong delivered a most able and comprehensive lecture on “Isomerism,” pointing out that the generally received position theory was incompetent to explain many reactions which took place in the formation of metameric and isomeric substances. He suggested that the investigatidn of the thermal properties of compounds would establish facts which might ultimately enable us to obtain some insight into the matter.
