in agreement with equations (13), (18) of my former paper when allowance is made for the different suppositions with respect to ^} as may be effected by expressing both results in terms of a, the coefficient of cos x, instead of a.
The next step is the further development of the pressure equation (2), so as to include terms of the order a7. Where /9, 7, etc. occur as factors, the expression for y to the third order, as in (5), suffices; but a more accurate value is required in ct2e~22/. Expanding the exponentials and replacing products of cosines by cosines of sums and differences, we find in the first place

From the terms in cos a? we now eliminate cos x by means of
a cos a? = y (1 - fa2) + £a2 + |a2 cos 20 f,
thus altering those terras of (12) which are constant, and which contain y and cos 2#. Thus modified, (12) becomes

t Since terms of order a7 are retained, the term -•= a3 cos Bx should be added to the expression for a cos a;., W. P. S.]
