Abstract
THE recession-law, v = r/t in combination with the density-distribution law ndxdydz = Btdxdydz/(t2 r2/c2)2, can be shown to be a valid description of a certain system of particles in motion on any relativistic law of gravitation. This was the subject of my lecture to the London Mathematical Society, “World-Gravitation by Kinematic Methods”, delivered on May 17 last (see NATURE, May 26, 1934, p. 789). A full discussion of this subject is given by me in a volume now passing through the press.
