LITERATURE. 



Sommer, H. Oskar, Astolat, Camberley, Surrey, England. Grant No. 650. 

 Completion for publication of results of researches on Arthurian Ro- 

 mances. (For previous reports see Year Books Nos. 5-8.) $3,000 



1. I have transcribed at the British Museum the additional manuscript 

 10294, representing the sixth volume of the Vulgate Version of the Arthur- 

 ian Romances. I have collated the text with the other manuscript at the 

 British Museum, and with the photographic reproduction of the manuscript 

 No. 342 of the Bibliotheque Nationale. The photographs being of reduced 

 size, this task had to be performed by the help of a magnifying glass, and 

 was of a very trying nature, occupying ten weeks. 



2. I have revised the pages of volume III for the second time and com- 

 pleted the volume for publication. 



3. I have revised for the first time the remaining galleys of volume IV. 



4. I have revised for the first time the whole of the fifth volume and made 

 it ready for making up in page form. 



The following work remains to be done : 



1. The second revise of the whole of volumes IV and V and the addition 

 of head-lines and side-notes. 



2. The first and second revises of volume VI and the addition of head- 

 lines and side-notes. 



3. The compilation of the Index raisonne to the six volumes. 



METEOROLOGY. 



Bjerknes, V., University of Christiania, Christiania, Norway. Grant No. 

 610. Preparation of a scientific work on the application of the methods 

 of hydrodynamics and thermodynamics to practical meteorology and 

 hydrography. (For previous reports see Year Books Nos. 5-8.) $1,200 



The working out of the kinematic methods for investigating and repre- 

 senting synoptically the atmospheric or oceanic motions has been finished. 

 The final examples of the synoptic representation of fields of motion in the 

 atmosphere have been worked out, and the text is nearly ready. The reading 

 of the proof-sheets of the meteorological and the hydrographic tables has 

 been continued, and the tables entirely revised and brought up to date accord- 

 ing to the newest determinations of the fundamental constants.
