Abstract
THE mapping out of the heads of nails driven into the joists of the ceiling at Felixstowe seems to be inexplicable by the theory of filtration, although this may very probably account for the more common cases of a deposit between but not upon the joists of a ceiling. I am endeavouring to get a photograph of the best part of the Felixstowe ceiling. Dr. Mill's observation seems to be due, as he suggests, to a different process.
