W. T. (After Fidtz [22].) original paper [22] suggest that a study of the mechanics of these systems in as great quantitative detail as pos- sible will have real significance in suggesting working principles which would be apphcable to the earth's atmosphere. The opportunity will then exist to establish areas in the conditions of the experiment that give the closest resemblances to planetary cases. More or less data for comparison exist at least for atmospheric layers on the earth, the sun, Mars, and Jupiter. With the controllability conferred by the experiment, one can then compare these areas with conditions which do not give similarity and have some hope of separating out the way in which the essential factors are operating. For example, it would be of the greatest interest, if it should turn out to be possible to generate such motions, to compare conditions required for producing motions divided shai-ply into zones, like those of Jupiter, with the conditions mentioned above that give motions re- sembling to some extent those of the earth's atmosphere. In many respects the possibility of making measure- ments in an experiment is restricted by purely ins
