St. Claire Deville's treatise published in 1858, and the newer work by Dr. Mierzinski in Hartleben's " Chemisch-Technische Bibliothek," which appeared in 1883. As no special work on aluminium had previously appeared in English, we agree ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE letter of “Outis” in yesterday's number of NATURE (p. 175) is likely, I fear, to convey a false impression as to the new degrees of Doctor of Science and Doctor of Letters, which, by the way, were instituted, for good or for evil, by the Commissioners, and not by any “dominant body in the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE shadow of Adam's Peak, to which Mr. Abbay refers in his letter to NATURE, vol. xxxvi. p. 152, is certainly not the kind of shadow that I witnessed, but that which is only seen in the clearest weather and without the intervention of mist. This is mentioned in one of the last paragraphs of my ...
