The tubes which he used had a mouth-piece A B 0 D, Fig. 4011, presenting nearly the form ofthe contracted vein ; A B = • 1332 ft., and C D= -1109 ft. ; the body of the tube C DFE variedin length and flare, the flare being measured bythe angle comprised between the sides E C andFD sufficiently prolonged. These tubes werefitted to a reservoir kept constantly full of water ;the flowing took place under a constant head of2 - 8873 ft., and the time necessary to fill a vessel of4-8384 cub. ft. was counted as in the experimentsof the same author which we have already men-tioned. DAubuisson gives, in the following Table, the result of the principal observations, after havingremarked that the time corresponding to the theoretic velocity was 25 - 49. Discharge.

Venturi concluded from his experiments, that the tube of the greatest discharge ought to havea length nine times the diameter of the smaller base, and a flare of 5° 6 ; Fig. 4011 represents it ;it would give, adds the author, a discharge 2 • 4 times greater than the orifice in a thin side, and1 • 46 times greater than the theoretic discharge. Moreover, he observes, that the dimens
