Anhydraulic press may of course be employed in thisexperiment, but it is not necessary ; with the hammerand plug beautiful rings of ice are easily obtainedby the regelation of the crushed fragments. I have now to add the description of an experimentwhich suggested itself to my ingenious friend , when he saw the ice-rings just referred to,and which was actually executed by him yesterday(the 16th) in the laboratory of the Eoyal a quantity of plaster of paris into a propervessel,
