(Concluded from page 533.) 
HE soutnern ends of the three prototypic segments in 
Ps were not all moved away from Ps. The reflux of 
the excess of water round Ps tending in the deep 
towards the most attracting meridian, Pr of the nucleus 
traversed it with increased velocity, and produced gradually 
the greatest condensation and pressure of the envelope, and 
therefore the greatest accumulation of water round Ps V 
and its flow in the direction V Pr, to the point of greatest 
gravity in the equator. The opposite preflux from west to 
■east, through the interval in the south of segment Pr, deve- 
loped itself superficially by reaction. Segment Pr was 
therefore not only moved north ; its portion south of 55 0 8' 
was moved towards Ps and beyond, and is divided into 
two sub-seCtions, of which the long axis extends through 
46 0 56'4-3 0 52 , , the diameter of the polar circle plus a northern 
reaction wave. 
This end of segment Pr, cut off in 55 0 48' S. lat., is all the 
Antarctic land there is. The segments Ap and Af have been 
wholly moved away from Ps by the reflux developing itself 
from the direction of segment Pr, south of 55 0 48' S. lat. on 
to long. 90° E. or meridian Af, with increasing velocity, and 
with a quantity regionally massed by the advance of the 
Antarctic land over Ps towards Ap. 
The 1-11*56 of segment Pr thus cut off is less than 
1-29*78 of all land, as 1 : 1*08, which should be the equiva- 
lent of elastic reaction north to south generated in the inter- 
stratum by heat produced through the falling advance of 
1-29*78 of all the sea from south to north. 
Suppose the south polar zone all sea, and plunge into it 
with Ps as centre a disk equal to 1*29*78 of all land ; the 
disk has a radius of ro° 44', and a series of oscillations of 
this width will arise in the sea all round, readied upon and 
modified by oscillations 3 0 52' wide, over-reaching from the 
other hemisphere : 3 0 52' are to io° 44' as 1 : 2*73 as all 
southern to all northern land. We thus have modifications
