Abstract

In my paper of January 18th (anté, p 537) I had assumed all directions of the line of centres at impact to be equally probable. The introduction of the true condition affects the average value of

by a numerical factor only; so that the proof of Maxwell's Theorem remains valid. The expressions for the separate average values of u2 and of uv, however, are altered more profoundly.
