✦ Synopsis

Thi8 paper Is an investigation of a problem in the kinetic theory of gases. Six arguments are given--all leading to the same conclusion: viz., That in a group of gas m01ecules of equal mass, in a steady state, at constant temperature, the molecular velocities are sensibly equal; and do not vary from zero to infinity, as is generally assumed by writers In the field of the kinetic theory of gases.--THE EDITOR.]
