Abstract
WHEN a few years ago it appeared advisable to Prof Kamerlingh Onnes, the Director of the Physical Laboratory at the University of Leiden, to start the issue of a periodical paper which would contain a regular account of the research work that was going on in his laboratory, he decided upon the English language as being for various reasons the most suitable for the purpose. The “Communications from the Physical Laboratory at the University of Leiden” consist, as a rule, of more or less happy translations of contributions by Prof. Onnes and his pupils to the Proceedings of the “Koninklijke Akademie” of Amsterdam. They give short accounts of the researches that are carried out, and contain theoretical notes, as a rule, in direct connection with the experimental work. The full accounts of the investigations are mostly to be found elsewhere in various French, German or English periodicals.1 No. 23 of the series appeared lately, and the whole set, containing everything that has been done in the laboratory since 1885, is now complete.
