Abstract
THE electric properties of flames have often invited the investigation of physicists, but the obscurity and contradictory nature of some of the phenomena have been such that in spite of a large number of researches no complete account of these properties has hitherto been given. Most of these researches are enumerated in a paper contributed by Prof. Holtz to Carl's Repertorium last year; but though Holtz has himself added to our knowledge of the electrical property of flames by his researches on the behaviour of flames when employed as electrodes, he left much yet to be investigated in this department.
