Extract

In previous communications* the author has discussed the recombination of gaseous ions, subsequently extending the theory to include large ions† and also to apply to the coagulation of colloids and of smokes‡. The predictions of the original theory were in excellent agreement with experiment, but discrepancies appeared when it was generalized. The author is now indebted to Dr F. J. W. Whipple for the discovery of a numerical error in the first paper, the correction of which leads on the whole to a much more satisfactory agreement with experiment.
