Abstract
DR. J. A. V. BUTLER and G. Armstrong1 and Dr. B. S. Hedges2 have published some very interesting observations on periodicities in electrolitic cells. I have made similar observations in a cell with 25 per cent sulphuric acid as electrolyte and a copper anode. The e.m.f. and resistance of the circuit being constant, under certain conditions the current through the cell assumes values from a few milliamperes to a fraction of a milliampere alternatively. The time of the alternations is variable, under different conditions, from about one to ten seconds.
