Abstract
THE author considers chiefly those portions of the subject which are somewhat neglected in most books, and in addition deals with the results of some of the more recent investigations. Brief outlines are, however, given of those parts that are not especially treated, in order to maintain continuity and allow of a direct comparison of the properties of the different radiations. Many references are given to original sources, which enable the reader to extend more readily the narrow limits of the book.
