Electrical Oscillations in Wires. By H. C. Pocklington. 



I am indebted to Prof. Orr for pointing out to me that there 

 is an error in § 3 of my paper on "Electrical Oscillations in Wires " 

 (Proc. Vol. IX. p. 324), the force tangential to the cross-section 

 being of order log e, and not, as stated, finite. In § 4 we must 

 now shift the curve formed by the Hertzian elements through a 

 distance of order e 2 log e, but the reasoning still holds good. The 

 result of 5 3 can now be obtained from that of 5 2.
