Abstract
THE meeting of the International Meteorological Committee at Southport during the week of the meeting of the Association resulted in an unusually large proportion of the papers presented to Section A dealing with cosmical problems, and these were taken in the department of the section devoted to astronomy and meteorology. Of the matters brought before the department devoted to physics, there' seems little doubt that the most important were those involved in the discussions on the introduction of Veetorial methods into physics, on the treatment of irreversible processes in thermodynamics, and on the nature of the emanations from radio-active substances respectively, and of these a short account follows.
