Extract from the Preface 



In 1904 I published through the Cambridge University 

 Press a collected account of radio-active phenomena entitled 

 Radio-activity. This was followed a year later by a revised 

 and enlarged edition. In the seven years that have elapsed 

 since the latter publication there has been a steady and rapid 

 growth of our knowledge of the properties of the radiations 

 from active substances, and of the remarkable series of trans- 

 formations that occur in them. In the present work I have 

 endeavoured to give an accurate and concise account of the 

 whole subject as it stands to-day within the compass of a 

 single volume. A few pages from the earlier book have been 

 utilised, but, otherwise, the present volume is an entirely new 

 work.

 pedition to Torres Straits. By the members of the
