Velocity of Sound. 271 TttE VARIOUS METHODS OF DETERMINIbIG THE VELO-CITY OF SOUND.i

The propagation of sound is a question with many bearings in the province of physics, and the researches of physicists in relation to it, though numerous, have left some points still under discussion. It is useful in the view of further inquiry to be furnished with a historical survey of what has been already done, and this is the object of a recent memoir by Dr. H. Benno-Mechlenburg, published in Berlin (a rdsumd of which to the following effect appears in the May number of the Journal de -Physique).

The author has adopted the following classification of the methods that have been employed for measuring the velocity of sound :--1. Methods requiring the measurement of a time and a course traversed.
