constituted of electrons: arguments in favour of its being mainly so constituted. The equations relative to the convected material system; transformed back to the standard form: resulting correlation with same system stationary, but with a time-origin varying from point to point; includes the previous special investigations: in static distributions the charges and electric forces are the same in both systems to the first order, but not the aethereal displacements and magnetic forces.

Chapter XI Moving material system: approximation carried to the second order 173
Electrodynamic equations, taking account of individual electrons: referred to moving system: restored to standard form by change of scale in space and time: resulting correlation. Second-order shrinkage in an aethereally constituted system arising from convection. Optical propagation in moving matter: Earth's motion optically inoperative.; Null effect on structure of a molecule. Null effect on conductivity of the medium. Discussion_of null effect_to second order in Michelson's interference experiments. Are the linear equations of the aether exact? Inference as to structure from the definiteness of atomic masses: gravitation not involved with the present subject.
SECTION IV
Chapter XII On optical rotations magnetic and structural 194
Magneto-optic energy term: deduction of relation between polarization and electric force: the magnetic influence purely rotational. Equations of propagation: coefficient of rotation. A hypothesis as to relation of rotation to density: not experimentally verified. Physical explanation of the rotation. Theory of magneto-optic reflexion and the Kerr effect. Structural rotation: the equations: its kinetic origin. Chiral relations of ions. flotation produced by artificial twisted structure. See Appendix F.
Chapter XIII Influence op the earth's motion on rotational optical phenomena 211
Equations for moving rotational medium: influence of convection on velocity of propagation: the convective effect simply superposed. Verification of Mascart's null result as regards structural rotation: consistent with the electron theory. Null result as regards magnetic rotation.
