J. I have just learned that Mr. Levy has very recently taken up this subject, and has mea- sured and determined with a view to publica- tion, the forms of many of the artificial crys- tals, without being aware of my having previously occupied myself in a similar manner. He has proceeded mathematically, and will probably still give his results to the public ; and there can be no doubt that he will confer an additional interest on the inquiry. Article X.
