NOTATION<br />

All quantities are measured in electromagnetic C. G. S. units (emu). Electrical<br />

conductivity values are quoted occasionally in the M.K.S. unit (Qm)-l<br />

which is equivalent to 1O-1l emu. A convenient unit of the electric field is<br />

(mV /km) = I emu. The time factor of harmonic oscillations is always<br />

exp (+ iwt) and frequencies are given usually in cycles per hour = cph. The<br />

letters "u" and "v" identify as subscript or added in parenthesis the real and<br />

imaginary part of complex quantities, e. g., zp = zp(u) + i zp(v). Bold type<br />

characters indicate vectors.<br />
