THE cellular arrangement of convection currents in emulsions, described by Prof. Kerr Grant in NATURE of April 16, was first recorded by E. H. Weber in 1855, with gamboge suspended in a mixture of alcohol and water. It is discussed in O. Lehmann's ``Molekularphysik.'' The structure is most conveniently seen in molten wax or spermaceti, and in this form was discovered by H. Bénard. Many papers by Bénard, Dauzère, and others have appeared on the subject in the Comptes rendus and Journal de Physique since 1901, and the possible bearing of the phenomenon on geological and astronomical problems has been discussed. A paper by James Thomson on cellular structure due to convection, originally published in 1882, is included in his collected works. In this case soapy water was the liquid used. An account of the phenomenon, with references, is given in the present writer's report to the Beilby Prize Committee, read at the March meeting of the Institute of Metals.
