Abstract
THIS little book has a special interest in being the last published work of the late Sir William Ramsay. As Prof. Donnan states in his graceful appreciation of the author's life and work, Ramsay possessed an intimate knowledge arid true perception of Black's position in the history of science, and as they were both alumni of the same alma mater (the University of Glasgow) it was exceedingly appropriate and a charming act of piety that he should have paid such a tribute to the memory of one with whose name and fame that university is so closely identified.
