Abstract
JUST ten years ago in this room Sir Richard Threlfall discussed the effects of temperature and pressure on various substances, and commenced by referring to a suggestion I made in 1904 to sink a bore-hole twelve miles deep in the earth with the object of exploring the region beneath us, about which so little is known. Last summer at Bournemouth I ventured again to direct attention to the desirability of such an exploration in the interests of science generally, and to the possibility that it might ultimately lead to some developments of practical importance and utility.
