Abstract
INTRODUCTION. IN the course of the researches upon gaseous combustion which for many years past have been carried out in my laboratories, it became necessary to study the subject under much higher pressures than those heretofore employed. As this aspect of the work has recently assumed greater importance from the point of view of the mechanism of combustion than was at one time foreseen, an outline of it may be of interest. Before, however, explaining what our new observations have been, something should be said about the apparatus and methods employed for such work. For they must obviously differ from those used for experiments at atmospheric pressure, where the conditions are much less severe.
