Extract

§ 1. In a paper published in the present volume of the Transactions of the Society (p. 659, 3rd July 1905), one of the authors of this communication has given a Hydrodynamical Theory of Seiches, and deduced formulae with a view to particular applications. The object of the present paper is to give some account of a series of calculations on which we have been occupied for some time, with a view to work out, a priori, from the Bathymetric Data of the Lake Survey, the Seiche Constants for the three seiches of lowest nodality in Lochs Earn and Treig.

§ 2. As this is the first time that any attempt has been made to solve completely a problem of the kind, we naturally selected lakes having as simple a configuration as possible. A general idea of the shape of the two lakes, and also of the nature of the data from which we have worked, will be obtained from the 3-in. maps reproduced in figures (3) and (4).
