Abstract
THIS work is, in the main, a reproduction of Prof. Rutherford's Silliman lectures, delivered at Yale in March, 1905, and represents his latest views on the subject. Some treatment of radioactivity in general is given, and then a detailed development of the special subject of the book. This treatment differs only from the author's previous expositions in the greater detail in which the subject is worked out. Every month seems now to bring to light some hitherto unrecognised stage in the transformation of one of the radio-elements. One would suppose, however, that this field of discovery cannot be of unlimited extent, and that the full detail of the transformations must, before long, be made out, so far at least as they are accompanied by demonstrable radio-activity.
