Abstract

0~ the Constitution of Atmosl~heric .Neon.449 Thus E= era 3~R~(1 --v ~ sin 2 Xl)~' I~i is the unit vector along eP', and tI = vE sin Xl.These results are of course well known, but I think it will be admitted that the above is a particularly easy way of obtaining them.By extension of the principle described to quaternionie operators it is evident tlmt the whole of the theory of .Relativity can be very conveniently expressed in this notation.In conclusion I should like to express my thanks to Dr. Silberstein for reading my paper and for his interest in it.XLIV.The CoJ~stitutio, of" Atmospheri,: zVeon.137] F.
