Extract

1. In the first part of this paper (Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin., vol. xxvi., 1905.-6, p. 130), a method was suggested by means of which it might be found possible to discriminate amongst certain oscillatory dynamical systems according as they did, or did not, follow the law of equipartition of energy in their respective vibratory freedoms.
