iv above.In the final Chapter methods and results are compared and analysed.The main lines of the Thesis have been published in two papers in the Philosophical Magazine*.It is from these that the printed figures used here have been taken.The theory developed is original, and it has always been stated to what extent it depends on the work of others.The methods were devised by myself, although, as is stated in the text, they are to some extent adaptations of old methods to a new technique.On the other hand, investig ations on dielectrics at these frequencies werevvery few, and the wave guide technique had not hitherto been used.Attention may be drawn to the methods described in sections 18 and 19.ihes^fa.renew and importan^methods, dependent upon an interesting mathematical resultjwhich I obtained in the theoretical-study described in chapter III.The preliminary theoretical treatment of the parallel wire line 1 section 14) seemed also to clear up some anomalies which became apparent in the works of some experimenters on dielectric constants.The apparatus was designed and assembled, and the experiments performed, by myself.In conclusion, thanks are due to u t .R. W. 8loane for the original idea for the work, to Prof. E. Taylor Jones for helpful guidance and liberal facilities, and to Dr. J. Thomson for constant valuable advice and discussion.
