* The data as to German guns are taken from the new work by Captain Wille, of the German Artillery, entitled “ Das deutsche Peld-Artillerie-Material von 1873,” 
(Berlin, 1876), which is, I understand, now being translated by Captain Ellis, R.A. 
f The M.Y. of the 8 C Austrian gun is taken from the “ Revue d’Artillerie,” October, 1876, as it is not given in the Austrian pamphlet mentioned. 
$ These grooves (termed p^ogressive) get narrower towards the muzzle, and the lands therefore proportionally wider.
