✦ Synopsis

A late number of Dingler's Polytechni.sches Journal (March, 1880, pp. 400-1) contains an approximate construction of the ratio of tile circumference of a circle to its diameter by L. Hajnis, of Prague. It is not so simple as Iny first method,* and the result (3"141738) give all excess of "000146 diam., which involves an error nineteen times as .~reat as that of my first construction, and more than 540 times as great -s that of my construction of tile ratio of Adrian Met ius.-~ A previous number of Di.ngle/s Jo~vnal (1879 282 182) gave an , ~(1. . .
