It therefore appears that, even in this extremely rapid deformatioUj we mayhave to attribute the plasticity and quasi-fluidity of the metal to the same slip along surfaces of cleavagewithin the crystals of the material, which Professor EwiNC4 and Mr. EoSENHAiNf have shown to takeplace when the deformation is much more slowly effected.—(Note, October 8, 1899.) t Roy.
