Abstract
II. Note by the Translator. IT is to be noted that Hertz follows the French system of wave-lengths and periods. Had I noticed this before the diagrams went to the engraver, I would have altered it, and interpreted his T as 1/2T, &c., throughout. As it is, I have left them everywhere as in the original. My elaborate attempt to evade a literal translation of Doppelpunkt was quite unnecessary. Prof. Karl Pearson has sent me a reference to Maxwell's definition of “double-point”in vol. i. Art. 129, first edition of “Electricity and Magnetism.”—O. J. L.
