Abstract
THE Southport meeting of Section B proved to be one of the most successful held during recent years; thje meetings were largely attended, and a keen interest was exhibited in the proceedings of the section. After the reading of the presidential address (NATURE, p. 472),' Prof. J. Campbell Brown described an apparatus for determining latent heats of evaporation, in which a known quantity of heat, generated electrically in a platinum wire, is absorbed in converting a liquid at its boiling point into vapour at the same temperature; very concordant results are obtained.
