The experiments described in this paper have been performed in the physiological laboratories of the University of London, and my best thanks are due to Dr. Augustus Waller, the Director, and to Mr. E. Legge Symes, the Demonstrator in Physiology, for the many facilities that were kindly placed at my service. Especially would I like to add my testimony to the value of the Dubois chloroform apparatus as a means of easily and safely administering chloroform to animals. The cost of these experiments has been defrayed from a grant of the Government Grant Committee of the Royal Society.

The paper gives an account of investigations on gaseous combustion under high pressures carried out in the Fuel Department of the University of Deeds during the years 1906-12, with a special installation of apparatus, the cost of which was defrayed out of grants made from time to time by the Government Grant Committee. Experiments in which mixtures of methane with less than its own volume of oxygen were exploded in steel bombs at initial pressures of between 8 and 32 atmospheres have given results in harmony with the "hydroxylation" theory of hydrocarbon combustion put forward some years ago by Prof. Bone. The influence of various secondary reactions upon the products of the primary oxidation whilst the gases are cooling down after the attainment of maximum pressure is discussed in the light of the experimental results.

The Cost

The investigation, of which the results are given in the following pages, was undertaken by a Committee of the Royal Meteorological Society appointed in the spring of 1901, with the co-operation of a Committee appointed by the British Association at Glasgow. Towards the cost of the experiments £75 was contributed by the Government Grant Committee of the Royal Society, £75 by the British Association, and £25 anonymously by a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society. The remainder of the cost, amounting to £106, was defrayed by that Society. The Meteorological Council lent the instruments required for a base station at Crinan, and defrayed the cost of maintaining the station. The Council have afforded further assistance to the investigation by undertaking the tabulation of the curves and the preparation of the necessary diagrams. This work has been carried out in the Observatory branch of the Meteorological Office.

This paper contains a further record of experiments which were begun at the same time as those recorded in my first paper. The method of interpreting results in the present paper is the same as that used in the first one, and is based upon the same working hypothesis, i. e. , Bateson and Punnett’s “Presence and Absence” hypothesis and Cuénot’s theory of colour. The cost of these experiments has been defrayed by a grant from the Government Grant Committee of the Royal Society. The Experimental Matings. (1) (a) Cr 4 × Cr 4 = Albino × Albino . Twenty pairs of albinoes were mated. There was a total offspring of 174 individuals, all albinoes. Some of these albinoes had a near albino ancestry, while others had a pigmented one. The details of the ancestry made be seen upon reference to the Table of Ancestry, pp. 390—391.

Sea Area

The fjord-like inlets or sea-lochs which form so conspicuous a feature in the scenery of the west of Scotland stand in marked contrast to the shallow, low-shored firths of the east coast. When Dr John Murray decided to extend the physical and biological work of the Scottish Marine Station to the west coast he foresaw that many interesting conclusions were likely to be derived from the study of these isolated sea-basins. Various papers, published by him and other workers, contain preliminary discussions of many of the phenomena observed, fully justifying the anticipations which had been formed.For one year my work, as described in this paper, was carried out under the provisions of an Elective Fellowship in Experimental Physics of the University of Edinburgh, to which I had been elected in 1886; and subsequently by a personal grant from the Government Grant Committee for Scientific Research. The Committee also devoted several sums of money in payment of expenses in compiling this discussion. The Scottish Marine Station throughout gave the use of the steam-yacht “Medusa,” and the necessary apparatus.

It is my pleasant duty to welcome you all most warmly to this meeting, which is one of the many events stimulated by the advisory committee of the William and Mary Trust on Science and Technology and Medicine, under the Chairmanship of Sir Arnold Burgen, the immediate past Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society. This is a joint meeting of the Royal Society and the British Academy, whose President, Sir Randolph Quirk, will be Chairman this afternoon, and it covers Science and Civilization under William and Mary, presumably with the intention that the Society would cover Science if the Academy would cover Civilization. The meeting has been organized by Professor Rupert Hall, a Fellow of the Academy and also well known to the Society, who is now Emeritus Professor of the History of Science and Technology at Imperial College in the University of London; and Mr Norman Robinson, who retired in 1988 as Librarian to the Royal Society after 40 years service to the Society.

Century Science

The development of government participation in the support of research is one of the most significant characteristics of nineteenth-century science. As public money became available for science, the social framework of research underwent a profound transformation. This process of transformation is not easy to define, but the response of scientific societies and institutions sometimes provides significant clues.

As a result of an investigation covering the Midland area, and especially from a study of the Upper Keuper of Leicestershire, the author, who has been aided in this research by a grant from the Government Grant Committee of the Royal Society, has arrived at the conclusion that, in so far as Great Britain is concerned, the Trias was laid down under delta conditions, during which, as in the Nile area to-day, æolian action took place, but was not responsible for deposition except locally on a small scale, and following the prevalent wind course.

In the course of the year 1872, Mr. R. H. Scott, F. R. S., suggested to the Meteorological Committee the desirability of carrying out a series of experiments on anemometers of different patterns. This suggestion was approved by the Committee, and in the course of same year a grant was obtained by Mr. Scott from the Government Grant administered by the Royal Society, for the purpose of defraying .the expenses of the investigation. The experiments were not, however, carried out by Mr. Scott himself, but were entrusted to Mr. Samuel Jeffery, then Superintendent of the Kew Observatory and Mr. G. M. Whipple, then First Assistant, the present Superintendent. The results have never hitherto been published, and I was not aware of their nature till on making a suggestion that an anemometer of the Kew standard pattern should be whirled in the open air, with a view of trying that mode of determining its proper factor, Mr Scott informed me of what had already been done, and wrote to Mr. Whipple requesting him to place in my hands the results of the most complete of the experiments, namely, those carried on at the Crystal Palace which I accordingly obtained from him. The progress of the enquiry may be gathered from the following extract from Mr. Scott's report in returning the unexpended balance of the grant.

The expedition to which this report refers was one of those organised by the Joint Permanent Eclipse Committee of the Royal Society and the Royal Astronomical Society; it was supported by a grant made by the Government Grant Committee. Guelma was chosen for the site of the observations, as being an inland station between Sfax, which was selected for an expedition from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, and Philippeville, which it was at first expected Sir Norman Lockyer would occupy. Guelma is 58 kilometres from Bona, 65 kilometres from Philippeville, 55 kilometres from the nearest coast of the Mediterranean Sea; it lies at a height of about 1200 feet above sea-level on the south side of the Valley of the Seybouze, amongst hills which range in height from about 3100 feet at 13 kilometres to the north, to about 4700 feet at 11 kilometres on the south, where lies the celebrated mountain, Mahouna, “the sleeping lady,” so called from the resemblance of its silhouette to the form of a woman. (For the position of the observing hut, see p. 59.)
