Abstract
WE have received a pamphlet summarizing the scientific work of Prof. M. N. Saha, who, as indicated in NATURE of March 13, has recently been elected president of the National Institute of Sciences of India for the current year. In addition to his theory of stellar spectra, which in fact was begun in India before he came to England, Prof. Saha has made experimental researches with the object of confirming the theory and has produced papers on selective radiation pressure, active nitrogen, spectroscopy and atomic and molecular structure, the colours of inorganic salts, thermodynamics, Dirac's theory of the electron, and upper atmospheric phenomena. He has also written treatises on heat and on modern physics, and has promoted much research on molecular spectra by students working under him.
