Abstract
AMONGST the numerous congresses at Paris in 1900 was one on chronometry, of which the work under review is the official publication. In addition to the “minutes” of the meetings, which include abstracts of the communications, it gives the full text of more than thirty papers and reports. These deal with such subjects as the testing of watches and chronometers, the decimalisa tion of time, questions of units and standards, topics of historical or current interest in horology, the description of novel instruments or materials, and mathematical and physical investigations bearing on chronometry.
