Abstract
THE first sixty-seven pages of Part 2 carry on Prof. Cayley's lectures on the abelian and theta functions, before the Johns Hopkins University (see NATURE, vol. xxxi. p. 189) to “the end of Chapter VII.” Other papers in this part are “Solution of Solvable Irreducible Quintic Equations, without the Aid of a Resolvent Sextic,” by G. P. Young (the same writer furnishes to Part III. “Solvable Irreducible Equations of Prime Degrees”), and “Notes on the Quintic,” by J. C. Glashan. Mr. C. S. Peirce commences an article “On the Algebra of Logic,” which runs into Part III.; it is in part concerned with a discussion of De Morgan's logic of relatives. M. Poincare contributes a paper of fifty-six pages, “Sur les Equations linéaires aux Différentielles Ordinaires et aux Différences Finies”. “Capt Macmahon adds a short “Second Paper on Perpetuants.” The Associate-editor, Dr. Craig, likewise briefly writes “On a Certain Class of Linear Differential Equations.” Other short items in this part are: “Prüfung grösserer Zahlen auf ihre Eigenschaft als Primzahlen,” by P. Seelhoff; and “Sur les Nombres de Bernoulli” (following up a paper entitled “Some Notes on the Numbers of Bernoulli and Euler,” by G. S. Ely, in vol. v.), by Prof. Teixeira, of Coimbra.
