On Relativity and Electrodynamics.

To the Editors of the Philosophical Magazine.

DEAR SIRS, 27th April, 1918. AS S the result of some correspondence, Dr. G. A. Schott has detected an error of sign in my calculation of the transverse inertia of a "contracted conducting electron." In consequence of this the following numerical correction should be inserted in my recent paper on "Relativity and Electrodynamics." For a contracted conducting electron

There is a corresponding correction for a Bucherer electron,
