by Charles R. Darling

Footnotes

[1]	Mono-brom-benzene is better than chloroform for this experiment, but is more costly. It may be coloured with indigo. Chloroform may be coloured with iodine.

[2]	Mr. C. T. R. Wilson has recently devised an apparatus for making visible the tracks of ionizing rays, by the condensation of water vapour round the freshly liberated ions.

[3]	These movements were first recorded by Romieu in 1748 and were ascribed by him to electricity.

[4]	The breaking-up of films on the surface of water was first noticed by Tomlinson about 50 years ago. He used essential oils, and called the patterns “cohesion figures.”

[5]	An interesting discussion on cellular structures of this type may be found in Nature, April 16 to June 11, 1914.

Transcription note

The following minor typographical flaws have been corrected:

• [Fig. 7]: missing period at the end of the caption
• [“feeler,”]’ unnecessary additional closing quote
• Index: [Drops of liquid, shapes of, 10, 29, 30, 31] missing commas
• Index: [Mono-brom-benzene] added hyphen to conform with reference in text

Footnotes have been renumbered progressively throughout the book.
