The results given in Tables II., III., IV., and V, have been used 

 in plotting the subjoined curves. In each curve the ordinates rep- 

 resent the charges on a scale of 1 microcoulombs to a division, and 

 the abscissas represent the capacities of the charged condensers in 

 microfarads. Attached to each curve is a number (m), and at the 

 upper left-hand corner of the square in which the curve is drawn 

 is another number («). These denote that a battery made up of 

 m parallel groups, each consisting of n cells in series, was used in 

 obtaiuing the results from which the curve has been plotted.
