Abstract
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, vol. ii. No. 1, October 1895.—The number opens with accounts of the proceedings at the second summer meeting of the American Mathematical Society, held at Springfield, Mass., on August 27 and 28, and of the proceedings at the meeting of Section A of the American Association, held at the same place, from August 29 to September 4. The papers at each meeting are given in abstract, and two of them are printed in full, viz. on the differential equations of certain systems of conies, by R. A. Roberts, and asymptotic lines on a circular ring, by Prof. Maschke. The results in the former paper are principally deduced by means of elliptic integrals and the first class of hyper-elliptic integrals, and from these are derived theorems concerning doubly infinite porisms of curvilinear polygons. The latter paper contains an application of elliptic functions to curves drawn on the surface of a circular ring.—Prof. F. Morley communicates a short note on a generalisation of Weierstrass's equation with three terms.—The notes contain various items of interest, and the list of publications is unusually full.
