PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 
Mr. Chapman, as they would otherwise have had a sufficient number of 
copies printed off to enable them to have published the whole series as 
a separate monograph. Those who only knew these contributions from 
the short resume which Mr. Chapman had given them of each could 
form little idea of the actual value of such a series, although they were 
no doubt aware that it did not always follow that the most interesting 
addresses were those which were the most important. 
Prof. Bell said they had received a paper from Mr. E. M. Nelson 
£C On Measuring the Refractive Indices of Various Media.” This com- 
munication was no doubt a very valuable contribution to the subject, 
and if Mr. Nelson had been able to be present, he would probably have 
explained the general purport of it to the meeting. He was, unfortu- 
nately, unable to be present, and therefore since the text consisted 
largely of mathematical formulae, he proposed to keep the paper back 
until their next meeting, in the hope that Mr. Nelson would then be 
with them.
