  • The composition of New Zealand beeswax 
    Cunningham, Ira James (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1928)
    Esters which occur in plants may be divided into two classes, fixed oils and waxes. Fixed oils are esters of glycerol with saturated and unsaturated fatty acids whereas the waxes are derived from monohydric alcohols. Both ...
  • Halogen addition to unsaturated hydrocarbons 
    Heyes, John Kenneth (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1928)
    The classical picture of halogen addition to olefins postulated a simultaneous addition of both atoms in the halogen molecule. This view was disproved by McKenzie (Proc. Chem. Soc. 1911, 150) and Frankland (J.C.S. 1912, ...
  • The distribution method for determining the hydration of strong electrolytes 
    Cottier, William (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1928)
    The work presented in the following paper was instigated by a report in the Journal of the Chemical Society, of an investigation into the hydration of strong electrolytes by J. N. Sugden (Sugden (J.1926, 175)). Before ...
  • An investigation of the nature of p-azophenol 
    Chamberlain, Edward Edinborough (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1928)
    The isomerism of p-azophenol was first studied in detail by R. Willstätter and M. Benz (Ber. 1906, 39, 3492; 1907, 40, 1578). They found that azophenol obtained directly by the alkali fusion of p-nitrophenol differed from ...
  • The Life and Work of John Ballance 
    Dighton, John Lyell (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1929)
    There is no biography of John Ballance, nor is there a very satisfactory account of the work performed by the Ballance Ministry. This is doubtless due to the fact that the seven years following his death, bring into being ...
  • Partition coefficients in the system, amyl alcohol-water 
    Arthur, Ivy Ellen Juston (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1929)
    It has been thought advisable to give a summary of previous work on partition coefficients. Nernst (1) stated that the partition coefficient was independent of the concentration of the distributed substance, if the molecular ...
  • Some psychological aspects of revolution 
    Riske, M. (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1929)
    A survey of the History of Society shows clearly that progress has taken place at varying rates, that for long periods there has been comparatively little change or advancement, and that, at other times, a few years have ...

    A Commission to enquire into the working of the Department of Native Affairs was established by the New Zealand Parliament as a result of certain charges made against the Native Minister, Sir Apirana Ngata in 1933. In its ...
  • Studies on the distribution ratio 
    Dennehy, Moira Whitley (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1929)
    This work was undertaken in continuation of a previous series of experiments on distribution in system consisting of water and some non-miscible organic liquid. In these experiments was studied the effect on the distribution ...
  • Study of the Lactone Systems in Picrotoxin Chemistry: A Contribution to the Chemistry of Tutin 
    Brewerton, H. V. (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1929)
    Picrotoxin is the astringent and poisonous principle in the berries of East Indian plants of the cocculus species (Menisperum cocculus, Anamirta cocculus) and was first isolated by the French apothecary, P. Boullay (Bl. ...
  • The Structure and Life History of the Mosquito, Opifex Fuscus, Hutton 
    Wood, Nigel Neale. (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1929)
    This species was first described by Hutton (1902, P.188) who placed it among the Tipulids. Dr. David l filler ( 1920 ) when carrying out an investigation into the mosquitoes of New Zealand found a common species which bred ...
  • Causality 
    Hutchings, Patrick A. E (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1929)
    A preface is one of the few ways there are of having the past over again. When you have finished writing you re-read the piece - "What is this fellow trying to say?" - and devise some sort of justification for it; but other ...

    Si peu qu’on lise les ouvrages de Boileau et de Pope, il est toujours impossible de ne pas remarquer les ressemblances qui existent entre les deux poètes. Tout le monde est d’accord sur cela, et personne ne s’en est rendu ...
  • The Melting Points and Relative Stability of the Meta and Para Nitranilides of the Higher Fatty Acids 
    Waters, Desmond Frederick (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1929)
    Between members of an homologous series there exists a definite resemblance and gradation in chemical and in physical properties. In order to correlate these variations with change in constitution, comparative figures must ...

    Johns, R.B (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1930)
    Picrotoxinin C15H16O6, a nitrogen-free, physiologically active body, together with the physiologically inactive Picrotin C15H18O7 form a "molecular" compound Picrotoxin which is easily decomposed into its constituents. ...
