Abstract
THE changes which have been made in the new edition of this valuable manual of constants are mostly matters of detail. All the chemical data have been recalculated on the basis of the international atomic weights, and, with the co-operation of Dr. E. Griffiths, of the National Physical Laboratory, a revision of the heat tables has been attempted. Tables of atomic numbers, spark-gap voltages, X-ray wave-lengths, and terrestrial magnetic constants also find a place in the new edition, and more extended tables of the relative value of the acceleration of gravity have been added. The first edition received detailed notice in NATURE of February 8, 1912.
