EXPERIMENTS ON THE FROUDE. 119 
VICE-PRESIDENT McFarLanp:—It is very evident, from the reading of the 
paper, and also the remarks of those here who are competent to judge, that this is 
a paper of unusual value, and I am sure you will all want to accord a hearty vote of 
thanks to Professor Peabody for his paper. 
We will now take up the paper entitled, ‘‘ The Effect of Waves Upon a Taffrail 
Log,” by Prof. Harold A. Everett, a Member of the Society. 
Professor Everett presented the paper.
