In the first part of this paper the results of experiments are recorded on the emission of radiation during explosion and subsequent cooling of inflammable mixtures of hydrogen and air contained in a closed vessel; and in the second part of the paper some experiments bearing on the transparency of the hot gaseous mixtures after explosion are described. The results of a similar investigation in connection with inflammable mixtures of coal-gas and air have already been published. The laws governing the emission of radiation in the hydrogen mixtures would appear to be similar in many ways to those governing the emission in the coal-gas mixtures; but in one or two respects there are important differences, which are of considerable interest in their bearing upon gaseous combustion.
