SCIENTIFIC SERIALS. 



American Journal of Science, July. — The viscosity of steel 

 and its relations to temperature, by Carl Barus. In this paper 

 the author's studies are mainly restricted to a discussion of the 

 relation between torsional viscosity and temperature as observed 

 with steel in different states of hardness. Reference is also 

 made to the effect of stress on the amount of viscous motion in 

 solids, and to a more general method by which the instantaneous 

 deformation and the gradual deformation produced by stress 

 may be co-ordinated. It is shown that imperceptible grada- 

 tions lead from the purely viscous deformation which follows 

 strains within the elastic limits to the sudden permanent set 

 which follows strains beyond those limits. — Kilauea in 1880, by 

 William T. Brigham. A detailed account is given of the re- 

 sults of the outbreak of May i, 1880, with a description of the 

 changes that had taken place since the author's previous visit in 

 1865. The trigonometrical survey then made was found to be 

 already antiquated, the whole boundary perceptibly changed, 

 and Kilauea apparently 5 per cent, larger than eighteen years 

 previously. — Recent explorations in the Wappinger Valley lime 

 stone of Dutchess County, New York (continued), by W. B.
