Abstract

THE Faraday Society's second General Discussion on “Optical Rotatory Power” was held in the rooms of the Chemical Society, Burlington House, London, on Friday and Saturday, April 25 and 26. In addition to English workers in this field of research, the Society had the pleasure of welcoming a large delegation of their foreign colleagues, from France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland. The foreign guests included Prof. II. Betti (Bologna), Dr. Bretscher (Zurich), Prof. E. Darmois (Paris), Dr. R. Descamps (Brussels), Dr. Drucker (Leipzig), Prof. P. P. Ewald (Stuttgart), Dr. Werner Kuhn (Heidelberg), Mme. Liquier-Milward (a pupil of Prof. Cotton, now resident in England), Dr. R. Lucas (Paris), and Dr. K. Wolf (Karlsruhe). Papers were also received from Prof. G. Bruhat and Prof. A. Cotton (Paris), and Prof. R. de Malleman (Nancy), who were unable to attend the meetings.
