On the Thermal Emissivity of a Green Leaf in Still and Moving Air. By HORACE T. BROWN, LL.D., F.R.S., and W. E. WILSON, D.Sc., F.R.S. These papers, which formed the basis of the Bakerian Lecture, delivered by Dr. Horace T. Brown, on March 23, 1905, are published in Series B of 'Proceedings,' April, 1905.

In an appendix to a paper on the static diffusion of gases, communicated to the Society in 1900, it was shown that when a current of air containing a constant proportion of carbon dioxide is caused to move in a turbulent stream over the free surface of a solution of caustic alkali, the rate of absorption of that gas increases with the velocity of the air-current up to a certain optimal speed, beyond which no further increase in the speed of the current influences the rate of absorption. It was further shown that when the optimal velocity of the air-current has been reached, and the temperature is maintained practically constant, the rate of absorption then varies directly as the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide in the air. In other words, if under the above conditions the rate of absorption per unit of area of the liquid surface is a for a partial pressure of carbon dioxide represented by and is for a partial pressure of p' , then at similar temperatures, a / p = a' / p' . A suggestion was also made that this principle might be found applicable to a determination of the carbon dioxide in air, and that if the method were found to be a practical one it would have the manifest advantage of not requiring any measurement of the air from which the gas was absorbed.

Abstract A gas-solid chromatographic method is described for the separation and determination of 5 medicinal gases at ambient temperature, using 2 gas chromatographic columns, Porapak Q and Molecular Sieve 13X, operated in series with a 6-port thermal conductivity detector and I recorder. An electronic digital integrator is used for calculating peak areas. Data on retention time, linearity, reproducibility of injection, and comparison with absorption methods are presented. Analytical results for oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ethylene, and nitrous oxide are attainable within 1.0% without the use of an internal standard.

Abstract A method for starch gel electrophoresis of hemoglobins is presented in which a modified Lintner starch is used for the preparation of the gel. A discontinuous buffer system of tris-EDTA-borate/barbital is used as the electrolyte medium because of its superior resolving power. Hemoglobin A2 values, obtained with this method, of healthy individuals, patients with thalassemia, and those with various anemias of nonthalassemic origin are presented.

The method of Da Schio (1) for the determination of lanital in lanital-wool mixtures has been tried and found to be unreliable. A new and satisfactory method has been developed. This method makes use of the difference in the specific gravities of wool and lanital to separate the fibres by means of a liquid of intermediate specific gravity. The Herzog-Skinkle method has been found to give results that are a little high. The method devised by the author is also applicable to wool-cotton and wool-staple rayon mixtures. Results of tests carried out on various mixtures and by various methods are given.
