Mr. F. G. Baily. Hysteresis of

Further experiments with the tube placed horizontally so that the magnetic lines cut the cathode rays produced the usual deflection of the latter, but did not seem to have any appreciable effect on the internal resistance of the tube.

“The Hysteresis of Iron and Steel in a Rotating Magnetic Field.” By Francis G. Baily, M.A. Communicated by Professor Lodge, F.R.S. Received April 9,—Read June 4, 1896.

(Abstract.)

T hat the hysteresis of iron varies with the conditions of magnetic change has been ascertained in some instances, notably those in which the attractions between the molecular magnets of the Weber-Maxwell-Ewing theory are diminished by super-imposed vibrations in the
