A CONTINUOUS RECORD OF ATMOSPHERIC NUCLEATION. 



127 



(5 = 6-6.5), filially with still wider divergence to the upper g b i) corona {s = 12). 

 The nucleations corresponding to these double inflections are about as i, 2, 3 

 (;7 = 4,000 to 5,000, 10,000, 300,000). The mean curve as far as the middle gbp 

 corona is to be separately constructed with the ordinates (nucleations n, while 

 the abscissas are apertures, s) enlarged 10 times. The lower periodicity must be 

 ignored from the crowded condition of coronas here; the upper periodicity 

 preferably presented as a discontinuity of the ctir\'e. 



The graph so obtained was used for all the reductions of the nucleation of 

 Chapter IX and elsewhere. From it table 14 was constnicted. The nucleation 

 n may finally be reduced to air at normal pressure and temperature.

Note. — The photographs of i;g 15-21 were made from fog particles condensed (as stated) on persistent 

 nuclei. No attempt was made to photograph the fog particles condensed on ions or fleeting nuclei, because 

 the high exhaustions needed would have endangered the large condensation chamber. I shall therefore 

 return to the subject elsewhere with a modification of apparatus and W'th this specific point in view.
