which is the usual form in which the results of these experi- 

 ments are interpreted. The sign, which cannot change 

 with 5, is in general agreement with that usually determined, 

 at least relative to the other coefficients. 



9. Discussion of the results obtained. 



Even if full allowance be made for the possibilities of the 

 present theory, it appears in the simple form quite incapable 

 of being verified even qualitatively by the experiments. It 

 is, however, possible by the introduction of certain plausible
