Abstract

UNDER the above heading in NATURE of Nov. 15, p. 71, I notice it is stated that I have found the velocity of sound in air to be about 320 metres per second. This is manifestly a misprint for 330 metres, but I should like to state that as far as my experiments have gone the value for free air is not determined, although 330.6, Regnault's value, is probably very nearly what my method would make it.
