HERMOELECTRI CITY and the galvano-and thermomagnetic effects in metals have beenthe subjects of countless theoretical and experimen-tal investigations during the past half century. In spite of the tremendous amount of work done in these fields, a satisfactoryexplanation of these phe-nomena has been lacking up to the past few years, when the electron theory of metals (especially as developed by Lorentz) was given new life by the application of the Fermi-Diracstatistics. The main theme of thisreport will be a more or less detailed development of the new electron theory in its application to the above mentioned subjects. We shall assume that thereader is familiar with thearticle" Statistical Theories of Matter, Radiation and Electricity" which Dr. KK Darrow has written for this journal. For the sake of completeness, it will be unavoidable to prevent a certain repetition of what is already presented in Dr. Darrow's report. We shall tryto keep a repetition to a necessary minimum.
