First appearance (together with the 2 pp. extract in "Proceedings") of Thomsons first paper on the electrostatic unit of electricity."In 1884 Lord Rayleigh,....resigned the Cavendish Professorship of Experimental Physics. Thomson had by then completed a few imperfect bits of laboratory work, including a determination, at Rayleigh's suggestion, of the ratio of the electrostatic to the electromagnetic units of electricity (the paper offered). Rayleigh had intended to collaborate in this work which, apart from its imperfection, was typical of the Cavendish during this area; but Thomson, unaware of many of the pitfalls, ran away with the project, published hastily, and gave his collegues, including the Professor, to doubt that he had any future in experimental physics. With these credits and his mathematics, he competed for the chair; much to his surprise, and to the great annoyance of some of his competitors, who included Fitzgerald, Glazenbrook, Larmor, reynolds, and Schuster, he was elected."(DSB XIII, p. 365).

First printing of two historical papers in the development of the diffrential calculus."Saurin’s two papers (1709) on curves of quickest descent represent a solution of a problem first posed by Jakob I Bernoulli - to find which of the infinitely many cycloids linking a given point as origin to a given line is the curve of quickest descent from the point to the line - and then an extension of the problem to any family of similar curves. Saurin followed the differential methods of Johann I Bernoulli, although he studiously avoided taking a position in the brothers’famous quarrel."(DSB).

Yet her own investigations on the radioelements produced by the irradiation of uranium with neutrons were sufficiently important to secure her a position among the great modern scientists."(DSB).

Jónsson was Tarski's first student in the US and together they developed the important Jónsson-Tarski theorem (1951).Tarski (1901-1983) has contributed seminally to the fields of mathematics and logic in a number of ways, and together with Frege, Russell and Gödel, he now ranks as the most important contributor to the field of logic.
