Physical Society, March 10.-Prof. Kundt, President, in the chair.-The President gave an account of some researches undertaken as an introduction to the study of Hall's phenomenon. As is well known, this is directly proportional to the intensity of the primary current, but inversely proportional to the pressure of the plates; on the other hand, it is not strictly proportional to the magnetising current in the case of the several metals so far examined, and it appeared probable that it might more possibly be proportional rather to the magnetisation of the plate. Prof. Kundt wished to test this possibility in the case of iron, nickel, and cobalt, employing transparent metallic films of these metals magnetised to 28,000 units, whose magnetisation could be tested directly by means of their rotatory power. It was found that the Hall effect increased hand in hand with the increase of rotatory power, and therefore proportionally to the magnetisation of the plates. The effect was, as Hall had already shown, positive in the case of iron and cobalt, negative in that of nickel. Bismuth deposited electrolytically in a transparent film gave very feeble or no results, whereas, when drawn out into a thin plate the effect was considerable.-Dr. Wren spoke on Maxwell's proposition that waves of light exert pressure in the direction of their transmission, as proved in a certain case by Boltzmann. He deduced, under certain assumptions, a formula for the calculation of temperature based upon a determination of maximal energy.

AMSTERDAM.

Royal Academy of Sciences, March 25.-Prof. van de Sande Bakhuysen in the chair.-Mr. Pekelharing spoke of the peptone of Kühne. Some years ago he argued there was not a real difference between the substances called peptone, and the substance called propeptone or hemialbumose. The researches of Kühne and his disciples afterwards proved that what was called peptone by Schmidt-Mülheim and by Salkowski, contained albumose. But it was not proved by Kühne that the substance called by himself peptone was really free from albumose. Out of a solution of Kühne's peptone, saturated with ammoniumsulphate, there can be precipitated by metaphosphoric acid, and more fully by trichloracetic acid, a substance which has the properties of albumose. It gives the biuretreaction, it is precipitated, the reaction may be acid, neutral, or alkaline, by ammoniumsulphate, it is precipitated by picrinic acid, and, in acid solution, by saturation with natriumchlorid. So it is clear that there is no ground for believing with Kühne that the substance called by him peptone is a substance sui generis, and not an impure albumo e.-Mr. Bakhuis Roozeboom dealt with the cryohydrates in systems of two salts. Three cases are to be considered. The first is that the two salts may exist without combination. Then there is a cryohydratic point in which the two salts A and B exist with ice next the

solution. This point is a minimum temperature. Besides, there are two cryohydratic lines, representing the series of solutions which may exist with ice and A or ice and B as solids. In the other cases when A and B form a double salt D, there are two cryohydratic points, one for the solution in equilibrium with ice+D+A, the other for ice + D + B; and three cryohydratic lines for the solutions in equilibrium with ice + D, ice + A, ice + B. When the double salt is soluble without decomposition, the two cryohydratic points are both minimum temperatures, and therefore there must exist a maximum temperature on the line for ice + D; this maximum relates to the solution which presents the same relation A/B as in the double salt. All these conclusions may be deduced from thermoe dynamical rules; they were confirmed in experimental research by Mr. Schreinemakers.

GREAT BARRIER REEF OF AUSTRALIA:

ITS PRODUCTS AND POTENTIALITIES. Containing an Account, with Copious Coloured and Photographic Illustrations (the latter here produced for the first time), of the

CORALS and CORAL REEFS, PEARL and PEARLSHELL, BECHE-DE-MER, other FISHING INDUSTRIES, and the MARINE FAUNA of the AUSTRALIAN GREAT BARRIER REGION.

BY

W. SAVILLE-KENT, F. L. S., F. Z. S., F. I. Inst., &c., Author of "A Manual of the Infusoria."

The Great Barrier Reef of Australia, represented by a vast rampart of coral origin, extending for no less a length than twelve hundred miles from Torres Straits to Lady Elliot Island on the Queensland coast, takes rank among the most notable of the existing wonders of the world. the direct and indirect agency of soft-fleshed polyps of multitudinous form Built up by and colour, it encloses betwixt its outer border and the adjacent mainland a tranquil ocean highway for vessels of the heaviest draught. To the naturalist, and more particularly to the marine biologist, the entire Barrier area is a perfect Eldorado, its prolific waters teeming with animal organisms of myriad form and hue representative of every marine zoological group.

The author's qualifications for the task he undertakes are emphasised through the circumstance of his having been occupied for the past eight years as Inspector and Commissioner of Fisheries to various of the Australian Colonies, the three later years having been devoted more exclusively to investigating and reporting to the Queensland Government upon the fishery products of the Great Barrier District.

A prominent feature in this work will consist of photographic views of coral reefs of various construction and from diverse selected localities, together with similar and also coloured illustrations and descriptions of the living corolla, coral polyps, and other marine organisms commonly associated on the reefs. These photographic illustrations taken by the author are. from both a scientific and an artistic standpoint, of high intrinsic merit and also unique in character, representing, in point of fact, the first occasion on which the camera has been employed for the systematic delineation of these subjects.

ACADEMY.-"Miss Yonge is at her best in the word pictures of the downs, woods, and lanes of her home; while her reminiscences of social life, and of the improvement which has in the last fifty years overtaken village life, are most interesting and valuable. . . . This Outlook, with its intense love of birds and flowers, and its careful study of human life in the country, will charm all who are like-minded, and, as the authoress hopes, assist others to make the most of their surroundings, so as to find no country walk devoid of the homely delights that sustain and lift up the spirit."
