the tables which are based on them not only reliable and comprehensive, but also compact. But as these rules are liable to occasional amendments, the tables may also have to be revised from time to time. These rules and tables are preceded by a short chapter on Design,' in which such hints have been given as will, it is hoped, facilitate drawing-office work. It has not been thought advisable to reproduce any drawings of complete boilers, but a long list has been compiled of publications where they can be looked up, together with their principal dimensions, their performances, and the builders' names. These and the other references to publications were found to be so numerous that it was necessary to abridge their titles to a few initial letters, which have been rearranged in alphabetical order in the following list, together with the necessary particulars for easily finding the required volume. It was at first intended to quote only such papers or books as had been printed in the English language; but many of these turned out to be translations, and it soon became evident that they could not always be relied upon. Not only were the misprints sometimes of the most serious nature, but in several instances it was found impossible to trace the original paper, because of the date, volume, or page being wrongly given. The plan had therefore to be adopted of mentioning only the original notice of experiments on investigation, no matter in what language they were first described. LITERATURE.
