Mayer, Alfred Mars/tall. 23. Researches in 

 acoustics. No. 6. 1. The determination of the 

 law connecting the pitch of a sound with the 

 duration of its residual sensation. 2. The de- 

 termination of the numbers of beats, throughout 

 the musical scale, which produce the greatest 

 dissonances. 3. Application of the above laws 

 in a new method of sonorcms analysis, by means 

 of a perforated rotating disc. 4. Deductions 

 from these laws leading to new facts in the 

 physiology of audition. 5. Quantitative appli- 

 cations of the laws to the fundamental facts 

 of musical harmony. Amer. Journ. Sci., 8, 1874,

 lower than it in pitch. 3. On a proposed change 

 in the usual method of conducting orchestral 

 music, indicated by the above discoveries. 4. Ap- 

 plications of the interferences of sonorous sen-
