We survey results on infinitesimal deformations ("Jacobi fields") of harmonic maps, concentrating on (i) when they are integrable, i.e., arise from genuine deformations, and what this tells us, (ii) their relation with harmonic morphisms — maps which preserve Laplace's equation.

In the 'Proceedings' of the Society, vol. 87, p. 109, Mr. Jeffery obtains a general solution of Laplace’s equation in a form suitable for physical problems in connection with two spheres. As an illustration he applies his solution to the problem of finding the capacity coefficients of two equal spheres, obtaining a result which he shows to be equivalent to one of Maxwell’s series formulæ. He then computes a table of the numerical values of these coefficients.
