Footnotes

[1]

Mono-brom-benzene is better than chloroform for this experiment, but is more costly. It may be coloured with indigo. Chloroform may be coloured with iodine.
[2]

Mr. C. T. R. Wilson has recently devised an apparatus for making visible the tracks of ionizing rays, by the condensation of water vapour round the freshly liberated ions.
[3]

These movements were first recorded by Romieu in 1748 and were ascribed by him to electricity.
[4]

The breaking-up of films on the surface of water was first noticed by Tomlinson about 50 years ago. He used essential oils, and called the patterns “cohesion figures.”
[5]

An interesting discussion on cellular structures of this type may be found in Nature, April 16 to June 11, 1914.
