crystals. The little bodies which he had found seemed to be 

 almost certainly formed from minute pieces of molten slag, 

 which have been whirled into the air and solidified during 

 their flight. Among them are several shapes closely approxi- 

 mating the hypothetical shapes which mathematicians have 

 assigned to liquids rotating freely in space. He announced 

 his intention of preparing a paper in which he hoped to deal 

 thoroughly with the resemblances in shape existing between 

 these bodies, Australites, volcanic bombs, and a hypothetical 

 freely-revolving liquid.
