In the present paper an attempt is made to correlate the cosfficient of absorption of a substance, measured at some particular wave-lelJgth and expressed as a function of the angle oi incidence, with the coefficient of absorption determined by Sabine's reverberation method for the same wave-length.The coefficient measured by Sabine's toothed will be called the" reverberation coefficient of absorption" and denoted by at. The coefficient of absorption for waves incident at an anglo O will be denoted by a (O). The theory of reverberation as developed by Sabine, Jiiger, and others is a departure from classical methods in theorei, ical acoustics, and involves certain assmnptions regarding the distribution and behaviour of sound-energy in an enclosed space in which reverberation is occurring. Accounts of the theory and of the assumptions made have been given in recent years by EA Eckhardt* and E. Buckingham J'. The question of the validity of the assu, nptions involved will not be discussed here, but attention will be confined to examining the result of introducing the coefficient a (0) into the theory of reverberation with the object of finding a relation between~(~) and at. Tile rate at which sound-energy strikes the walls of a room in which reverberation is occurring is found as follows:~. Let dS be an element of area of the wall of a room in which the acoustical energy-density p is uniform, and let dV be an element of volume at a distance r from dS in a direction making an angle 0 with the normal n to dS (fig. 1). Of the energy pdV contained within dV at any instant, that portion will ultimately strike dS which is moving within directions included within the solid angle
