Reports on H. G. Hennessey's paper [R.S.L. Proceedings, 13, 312-] on synchronous distribution of temperature over earth's surface. Feels bewildered by paper, and believes it could be condensed.
Reports on William Parson's paper [see RSPT, 130 (1840), 503-] on large mirrors for reflecting telescopes. Suggests omitting comments on William Herschel's mode of polishing, but recommends paper for publication.
Reports on and suggests improvements in but recommends publication of a paper [see RSPT, 130 (1840), 325-] by Robert Hunt on iodine's effect in rendering 'argentine paper' sensitive to light and thus useful for photographic purposes.
Formally reports on paper by Baden Powell on theory of dark bands found in solar spectrum. G. B. Airy agrees with JH's report.
Reports on and recommends for publication experiments in paper [see RSPT, 137 (1847), 253-] by [A. F. J.] Claudet on effect of solar radiation on silver plate's mercury deposit, but questions conclusion about triplicity of photographic action.
Reports on a paper by Baden Powell read at the R.S. L. and relating to the wave theory of light and to a paper by Henry Brougham.
Reports on and deems fit for publication [William] Hopkins's paper [R.S.P.T., 153, 677-] on theory of motion of glaciers.
Reports on G. B. Airy's analysis [R.S.P.T., 153,. 617-] of 177 magnetic storms.
Reports on G. G. Stokes's 'most remarkable and important' paper on refrangibility of light, recommending highly its publication in full. Notes in postscript that JH's experimental results had come close to those of Stokes.
Reports on and recommends for publication [William?] Baxter's paper detailing experiments 'on living and recently dead animals' to determine signs of current electricity manifested during 'organic process of secretion.'
Reports on paper by William Thomson on mathematical theory of magnetism. Approves paper, but believes JH lacks expertise to report properly on it.
Is returning C. P. Smyth's paper ['Report on the Teneriffe Astronomical Experiment of 1856,' [R.S.P.T., 148, 165-], believing it now 'unobjectionable for publication.'
Reports on and believes fit for publication paper [R.S.P.T., 153, 309-] by G. B. Airy on diurnal irregularities of terrestrial magnetism.
Reports on and enthusiastically recommends for publication G. B. Airy's paper on light polarity [see RSPT, 130 (1840), 225-], which JH believes contains true explanation for phenomenon of spectra bands.
