Abstract
THE description by the author of a recent communication1 of the apparatus for the continuous generation of gases at the ordinary laboratory temperature as a 'kip' is almost an insult to the work and memory of P. J. Kipp2. This eminent Dutch chemist was born more than a hundred years ago at Delft, where he founded the well-known firm of P. J. Kipp and Sons to which many chemists and physicists have been, and hope to be again, indebted for beautifully made scientific apparatus. A representation of Kipp's apparatus is incorporated in the seal of the Dutch Chemical Society.
