Abstract
OF all branches of physics, acoustics has probably been the most neglected of recent years; and although a good deal of work is being done in America, the number of investigators working in acoustics in Great Britain is surprisingly small. The War caused a temporary revival of interest in certain aspects of the subject, and a number of papers of scientific value were produced as the result of the application of acoustical methods to the location of submarines, guns, aeroplanes, and mining activities. Very few of the large personnel, however, who were engaged in these problems have continued in this work. Return to the universities of those engaged in teaching and research resulted in a resumption of their pre-War activities.
