Abstracts
The present paper and the accompanying paper by Mr. Darwin deal with certain points in connection with the "nucleus'' theory of the atom which were purposely omitted in my first communication on that subject (Phil. Mag. May 1911). A brief account is given of the later investigations which have been made to test the theory and of the deductions which can be drawn from them. At the same time a brief statement is given of recent observations on the passage of particles through hydrogen, which throw important light on the dimension of the nucleus. (Extracted from the introductory part of the paper.).
