In the original observations by this method such excellent agreement was found between the values of e derived from different measurements.(1. c., p. g84) that it was evident that ifappreciable errors existed they must be looked for in the constant factors entering into the final formula rather than in inaccuracies in the readings or irregularities in the behavior of the drops. Accordingly a systematic redetermination of all these constants was begun some three years ago. The relative importance of the various factors may be seen from the following review. As is now well known the oil-drop method rested originally upon the assumption of Stokes's law and gave the charge e on a given drop through the equation4 i'9a'~
