Abstract
PROF. W. T. DAVID in the first paragraph of his letter under this title1 makes two points about the afterglow in the gases from names or explosive reactions; the first that the temperatures determined by the sodium flame reversal method are too high, compared presumably with the platinum resistance method, the second that long-lived luminous products account for a considerable proportion of the heat of combustion, while further on he mentions 15 per cent.
