Abstract

I would remind the members present, that many of the notes
in this short paper are intended to answer questions that have
arisen in various discussions which have taken place on the
preceding one on the same subject read in 1868.
These notes have been, for the most part, suggested by some
critical remarks, made on the subject by Sir John Herschel,
to which I shall presently refer.
