Abstract
PARIS. Academy of Sciences, August 18.—M. A. Chauveau in the chair.—M. Borrelly: Notes on Hind's nebula. This nebula is now at a maximum period of brightness.—M. Aries: The formula for the velocity of sound. Reply to M. Duhem.—MM. Massol and Faucon: The presence of absorption bands in the ultra-violet spectrum of some abnormal alcohols of the fatty series. The study of pentane and some derivatives of methylpropane and methylbutane shows that the two absorption bands previously found in the three primary alcohols do not appear in the corresponding hydrocarbons; the halogen derivatives are also free from bands. The aldehydes give one large absorption band intermediate in position between the two alcohol bands.—Paul Godin: Free thoracic and abdominal respiration in the course of growth.—De Montessus de Ballore: Remarks on the earthquake at Gallipoli, August 9, 1912.
