What is here printed contains merely a list of the memoirs and treatises that may perhaps be found useful for one who wishes to trace the progress of the mathematical theory of heat beyond the stage at which Fourier left it. As discussions of the Fourier series and integrals occur in almost every treatise on the Integral Calculus, I have omitted reference to these. Similar considerations have led me to omit references to the discussion of differential equations, except where these specially dealt with the problem of the conduction of heat.
