Extract

This Paper contained the results of researches in hydrodynamics extending over a period of two years, and which the author is continuing to prosecute under the auspices of the British Association in conjunction with Mr Robison, the Secretary of this Society. The present paper contained the development of two new laws in hydrodynamics, which appeared of sufficient importance to form a paper by themselves.

These two laws are,

1. The Law of Emergence—as an Element of Resistance.

2. The Law of the Wave—as an Element of Resistance.
