The nucleations which eventually are not quite doubled in the new results, as compared with the older, are therefore at first enormously in excess. In fig. 20 the results of table 10 are given in full, the old results (table 7) in broken lines, and the same method is pursued in the other cases. 700 600 500 400 300 BOO 100. 18 ZO ZZ Z4 Z6 Z8 30 32 34 36 38 40 4Z Fig. 2i.—Efficient nucleation (N) in dust-free air corresponding to fig. 19. Table 10. 24. The same. Action of X=rays.—Remarks to the same effect may be made with reference to the old and the new data for X-ray ionization when D = $o (broken and full lines in fig. 20). Initially the old curve is even below the present curve for radium, but it eventually intersects the new data for dust-free air at about dp = 35. The mean nucleations have not been quite doubled. The maxima in cases of D = 50 and D = 12 lie above the interval of large variation for dust-free air. Finally, the breaks in the curves at dp = 22 are again quite apparent. 25. Remarks on the A=curves.—With regard to the iV-curves, fig. 21, one need merely note that the maxima have in most cases been defi- nitely wiped out, and that the nucleation available for condensation, if it be supposed that removal of nuclei is more rapid than the reproduction, increases continually with the supersaturation up to the highest Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearanc
