Abstract
THE first Guthrie lecture of the Physical Society was delivered on February 27, at the Imperial College of Science, South Kensington, by Prof. R. W. Wood, of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. The lecture has been established in memory of Prof. F. Guthrie, who was professor of physics in the Royal College of Science, and was founder of the society, the first meeting having been held in his lecture theatre at the college in 1874. Before Prof. Wood's lecture, Prof. G. Carey Foster gave a short biography of Guthrie, who was born in 1833 and died in 1886, and Sir Oliver Lodge recalled some personal reminiscences of him. Prof. Wood's lecture is summarised in the subjoined abstract, published by the Physical Society.
