• The values here quoted apply when the duration of charge lies between 0.25 and 0.00005 of a second. J. J. 

 Thomson has obtained the value 2.7 when the duration of the charge is about i /2s X 10" of a second ; and this is 

 confirmed by Blondlot, who obtained for a similar duration 2.8. 



t The lower values were obtained by electric oscillations of duration of charge about 0.0006 second. The larger 

 values were obtained when duration of charge was about 0.02 second.
