 tion to Sound and Light Waves)," Leipzig, Gerhard 

 Fleischer, 1825. The experiments of the Weber 

 brothers are described briefly and illustrated by

 Hydraulics," Chap. 7, Supplement to "La Houille

In the words of J. Scott Russell [Brit. Assn. 

 Rep. 1844, p. 332], "The work is distinguished by 

 more than the usual characteristics of German 

 industry in the collection of materials, and contains 

 nearly all that has ever been written on waves since 

 the time of Newton, and as a book of reference 

 alone is a valuable history of wave research."

 reflection is considered in this paper.

 CommitteeconsistingofMr.C. W. Merrificld,F.R.S., 

 Mr. G. P. Bidder, Captain Douglas Galton, F.R.S., 

 Mr. F. Galton, F.R.S., Professor Rankine, P.R.S., 

 and Mr. W. Froude. This Committee was appointed 

 to report on the state of existing knowledge of the 

 Stability, Propulsion, and Sea-going Qualities of 

 Ships, and as to the application which it may be 

 desirable to make to Her Majesty's Government 

 on these subjects. The findings of this Committee, 

 on page 38, listed as sources of information on 

 waves the references numbered (5) through (12) of 

 this bibliography plus a paper by Cialdi entitled 

 "Sul Moto ondoso del Mare" and some papers in 

 Liouville's Journal of 1866 by Caligny.
