The following paper is a description of the methods adopted, and of the results obtained, in a series of experiments on the specific resistance of glass. These experiments were performed in the Physical Laboratory of the Imperial College of Engineering, Tokio, Japan. An account of some preliminary experiments on this subject was communicated by the author of this paper to the “Philosophical Magazine” for October, 1880. In that paper attention was specially directed to the change of resistance with change of temperature, and to an apparently permanent change in electric quality which the glass underwent when subjected to a high temperature. Subsequent experiments have served to confirm the results there given, but show that if the glass be newly made very little, if any, permanent change is brought about by heating.

About a fortnight since I mentioned to Professor Forbes that the resistances of the simple metals to the passage of electricity seemed to be very nearly in proportion to their absolute temperature, this relation being especially manifest for those values of the resistances determined by M. Arndtsen.Professor Forbes informed me that this coincidence had already been observed by Professor Clausius, and that an abstract of his paper was given in the Philosophical Magazine for November last. On referring to Professor Clausius's original paper, it would seem that the coincidence had suggested itself to him as a remarkable similarity occurring between the rate of increase (due to temperature) of the electrical resistance of those metals, and that of the volume of a gas under constant pressure.
