Abstract
THE novelty of Prof. Röntgen's skeletal photographs has almost worn off, and the field of research opened up by his observations is now mainly occupied by scientific workers, who are endeavouring to analyse the rays, and to extend the knowledge of their characteristics, rather than to produce startling pictures capable of exciting the wonder of the general public. But though the interest of scientific dilettantes has waned, the investigators who remain in the field are still so numerous that it is hardly possible to keep in touch with the multitude of observations published; and published in some cases, perhaps, a little prematurely. A number of interesting results have been recorded from time to time among our “Notes”; but so many papers and communications have been received during the past few days, that they are now brought together for readier reference, as has been done in several previous issues of NATURE.
