BY the present volume the Collection of Papers is brought down to the end of 1901. The diversity of subjects—many of them, it is to be feared, treated in a rather fragmentary manner—is as apparent as ever, and is perhaps intensified by the occurrence of papers recording experimental work on gases. The memoir on Argon (Art. 214) by Sir W. Ramsay and myself is included by special permission of my colleague.
A Classified Table of Contents and an Index of Names are appended. The large number of references to the works of Sir George Stokes, Lord Kelvin and Maxwell, as well as of Helmholtz and some other investigators abroad, will shew to whom I have been most indebted for inspiration.
I desire also to record my obligations to the Syndics and Staff of the University Press for the efficient and ever courteous manner in which they have carried out my wishes in the republication of this long series of memoirs.
