Abstract
PROF. BJERKNES, in his Royal Institution lecture (NATURE, September 27, p. 472; October 4, p. 508), introduces the phenomenon of “acoustic repulsion” before going on to the accepted circulation theory of aeroplane lift. Both these are discussed in Rayleigh's “Collected Papers,” Nos. 52 and 53 respectively; “Note on Acoustic Repulsion” (Phil. Mag., 1878, also 1902, 1905), and “On the irregular Flight of a Tennis Ball” (Mess. of Maths., 1877).
