Chapter I. remains generally as before, the alterations being comparatively small; in the portion devoted to Sections of Flow, the quotation from Neville's work has been expunged, and that subject has been newly treated; in the portion devoted to Distribution of Velocity in Section, full advantage has been taken of the deductions made by Major Allan Cunningham, and these have been inserted with his consent, but also with some modification for which he is not responsible; the references to Box's work and to Stoddard and Dwyer's works have been entirely expunged; and the whole chapter has been revised. In Chapter II., a summary of the methods of gauging and of the operations of Major Allan Cunningham in his recent experiments on the Ganges Canal, has been added.
