Abstract
THE summary of constants and data relating to the combustion and detonation of gases contained in vols. 7, 8 and 10 of the "Tables Annuelles Internationales de Constantes et Données Numériques"has been brought up to date by Prof. Lafitte in vol. 14, which covers the years 1931-36. This period is noteworthy for many important advances in the subject, inspired to a large extent by Semenoff's development of the chain-reaction theory. Chain mechanisms of hydrocarbon combustion have been suggested by Egerton, Norrish and Lewis, and new phenomena indicative of chain processes have been discovered in relation to ignition, the limits of inflammability and detonation ; in addition, there has been a general revision and extension of existing data.
