(4) [oo] stands for infinity; [int] for integral; [alpha], [beta], etc. for greek letters.

(5) The following typographical errors have been corrected:

Page 871: "an equation which is very useful, because it enables us, if we know the distribution." 'because' amended from 'becaus'.

Page 890: "The colour of the luminosity due to positive rays is not in general the same as that due to anode rays." 'positive' amended from 'postive'.

Page 890: "Anode Rays. Gehrcke and Reichenhein (Ann. der Phys. 25, p. 861) have found that when the anode consists of a mixture of sodium and lithium chloride." 'mixture' amended from 'mixure'.
