Cheyne. — Works by C. H. H. CHEYNE, M.A., F.R.A.S.
AN ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON THE PLANETARY

THEORY. With a Collection of Problems. Second Edition.

Crown 8vo. cloth. 6s. 6d.

In this volume an attempt has been made to produce a treatise on the Planetary theory, which, being elementary in character, should be so far complete as to contain all that is usually required by students in the University of Cambridge. In the New Edition the work has been carefully revised. The stability of the Planetary System has been more fully treated, and an elegant geometrical explanation of the formulœ for the secular variation of the node and inclination has been introduced.

THE EARTH'S MOTION OF ROTATION. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d.

The first part of this work consists of an application of the method of the variation of elements to the general problem of rotation. In the second part the general rotation formula are applied to the particular case of the earth.

Childe. — THE SINGULAR PROPERTIES OF THE ELLIP­SOID

AND ASSOCIATED SURFACES OF THE Nth DEGREE. By the Rev. G. F. Childe, M.A., Author of

“Ray Surfaces,” “Related Caustics,” &c. 8vo. 10s. 6d.

The object of this volume is to develop peculiarities in the Ellipsoid; and, further, to establish analogous properties in the unlimited congeneric series of which this remarkable surface is a constituent.

Christie. — A COLLECTION OF ELEMENTARY TEST-

QUESTIONS IN PURE AND MIXED MATHEMATICS; with Answers and Appendices on Synthetic Division, and on the Solution of Numerical Equations by Homer's Method. By James R. Christie, F.R.S., late First Mathematical Master at the

Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. Crown 8vo. cloth. 8s. 6d.

This series of Mathematical Exercises is collected from those which the author has, from time to time, proposed for solution by his pupils during
