Beyond an explanation of the derivation Of the last term in the Hazen and Williams formula, the changes are con fined to that part of the book devoted to the flow Of water over weirs, where some new matter relating to submerged weirs is pre sented in the text, and where the table Of discharge by Bazin's formula has been extended to cover variations of head by of afoot from zero to 6 feet, making in all a table Of thirty pages instead of the two pages in the former edition. A table Of discharge of high weirs 10, 20, and 30 feet, under heads from 6 to 20 feet has been added and a new title page has been written, giving a, more correct description of the scope of the book, and the table of con tents has been extended.
