A general account has already been given of this interesting paper—interesting as regards the subject, and interesting as being the author's first prentice effort. All that remains to be noticed here is what may be called Cayley's series of vanishing axisymmetric determinants.

The subject of the exploits of Theseus as seen on Greek vase-paintings has recently been treated by Professor Milani in a long and interesting paper in the Museo Italiano di antichità classica (iii. 1, p. 236). I propose therefore to set aside all general consideration of the myth and its typography, and to confine myself to the discussion and elucidation of two hitherto unpublished vases (plates I., II.), one of them included in Professor Milani's list, one entirely unknown to him, and both, as I hope to show, having strong claims on the attention of archaeologists. They are (1) a red-figured vase, which for convenience sake I shall call from its owner the Tricoupi cylix; (2) the fragments of a red-figured cylix from the De Luynes collection in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.1. The Tricoupi cylix, plate I. When I was in Athens in the spring of 1888, Miss Tricoupi with her accustomed kindness, so familiar to all visitors to Athens, allowed me to examine at my leisure her brother's collection of antiquities. I found to my surprise that it contained a vase which I have reason to believe is from the hand of Duris, and of which, so far as I am aware, no mention has been made in the numerous discussions of vases dealing with the exploits of Theseus, and which therefore, I suppose to be entirely unknown. I record here my grateful thanks to Miss Tricoupi for her kind permission to publish the vase, and for her goodness in facilitating its exact reproduction. The drawing from which plate I. is facsimiled was made for me by M. Gilliéron under my own personal supervision, and I can therefore vouch for its perfect accuracy. I was specially anxious to secure its.immediate publication as, though the vase is at present in such safe hands, the security of antiquities in private collections is always precarious.

It is with considerable diffidence that I submit this paper to the Institute seeing that there are many members who are far better qualified to deal with the subject.However, it was suggested that a paper of this character would be acceptable, and I have endeavoured to make it as complete as possible without transgressing reasonable limits of space.In the first place I have given a general account of the law of bankruptcy, following, in the main, the general arrangement of the subject adopted by Ringwood in “The Principles of Bankruptcy”, and I hope sufficiently full to make the paper useful to Students for Part IV of the examination syllabus. This has inevitably made it somewhat long and formal.

As I believe I was the first to draw public attention to the absence of all contemporaneous authority for the derivation of the badge and motto of the Prince of Wales from the personal insignia of John King of Bohemia, slain at the battle of Cressy, and to express my doubts in consequence respecting such an origin, I read with much pleasure the interesting paper of Sir N. Harris Nicolas, in the last published part of the Archæologia, and now venture to offer a few remarks in further illustration of the subject.

High Seas

The appalling loss of life and property resulting from the sinking of the Titanic served to direct public attention both here and abroad not only to the laws which should provide the safeguards of navigation, but also to the incidence of liability for accidents upon the high seas. The former subject has been dealt with in an interesting paper published in this Journal. We here propose to discuss the application to foreign ships, of the United States rule of the limitation of the shipowner’s liability, the foreign law upon the subject and the significance of the international movement for reform through identic legislation in many countries.

The subject of the following communication is a phenomenon unexpected and peculiar; it presents analogies to the phenomena of magnetism and electricity, in so much as it is an exhibition of repulsion; but it is distinguished from these by the absence of attraction, or what is called polarity. So far as I am aware, it is the only known example of repulsion exhibited independently of magnetic or electric excitement, and seems to open up an entirely new field for physical research. On these accounts I was exceedingly desirous to have it brought without delay to the notice of scientific men, and I have to thank our Secretary for-giving me the present opportunity, although at the inconvenience to him of it having to accompany a long and interesting paper on another subject.

A year since, the publication of Dr. Tyndall’s interesting paper on the abundance of germ-life in the atmosphere, and the difficulty of destroying this life, as well as other papers published by eminent men of science, suggested the inquiry if the germs existing or produced in a liquid in a state of fermentation or of putrefaction could be conveyed to a liquid suscep­tible of entering into these states ; and although at the present time the results of this inquiry are not sufficiently complete for publication, still I have observed some facts arising out of the subject of protoplasmic life which I wish now to lay before the Royal Society.

The experiments described in the following paper were undertaken in continuation of those made by Dr. Main in the winter 1886-87, and described by him in a paper read before the Royal Society the following summer. The investigation is by no means complete, but the results hitherto obtained seem to us sufficiently novel and prosecute the subject further next winter. We shall first give a general account of our results, and then describe the experiments in more full detail.

The Subject

Though the conspicuous volcanic phenomena of the Fifeshire coast-line have for long attracted the attention of petrologists, the igneous geology of the interior has not been studied in any detail. The petrological sections of the relative Geological Survey Memoirs, together with Geikie's Ancient Volcanoes, describe numerous inland vents and intrusions, while a large number of the doleritic sills has recently been made the subject of a most interesting paper by Mr D. Balsillie, but a belt of country stretching from St Andrews to Loch Leven proved to be practically virgin ground from the point of view of the igneous geologist. It is the intrusions of this area, together with a few pyroclastic deposits, which form the subject of the present communication. Only rocks which have hitherto been undescribed are treated petrologically, though in the case of several better known intrusions alterations of the published maps have been found necessary.

In a recent excursion the Liverpool Geological Society visited Norber Brow, near Austwick, to inspect the celebrated perched blocks of Silurian rock lying upon the Carboniferous limestone plateau. The visit was made in very appropriate weather during a storm of hail which added a weird element to the scene and heightened by contrast the blackness of the Silurian blocks. Since returning home I have re-read Prof. McKenny Hughes' interesting paper on the subject, and find that generally speaking my notes and measurements are in accord with his. The angularity of the perched blocks, so different to the rounded and striated erratics of the Boulder Clay Plains of Lancashire and Cheshire, and the absence of Boulder Clay, is very striking, and inevitably suggests their transportal by glacier ice probably at the last phase of the glacial period.

In the concluding pages of No. IIl paper, now in the hands of the Royal Society, I described an apparatus the essential parts of which consist of a wooden gallery about 126 feet long by 2 feet square, and a sheet iron cylinder about 6 feet long by 2 feet in diameter; and, at the same time, I gave a short general account of the experiments that had been made with it up to that date, intending to resume the subject on some future occasion.
