Some Notes on Leander longirostris M. Edwards, and other British Prawns

Some Notes on British Bats

reed warbler here and never an icterine, a bird whose notes are firmly fixed in my head. The Norfolk coast, in addition to furnishing breeding grounds for some large colonies of terns, is a good place to see migrants, many of which find temporary shelter in the low growth on the saltings and sandhills. Sometimes, especially in foggy weather, a hold-up of migrants occurs. This autumn, for instan...

Notes by Dave Edwards Discrete Probability

Monte Carlo integration is a powerful method for computing the value of complex integrals using probabilistic techniques. This document explains the math involved in Monte Carlo integration. First I give an overview of discrete random variables. Then I show how concepts from discrete random variables can be combined with calculus to reason about continuous random variables. Finally, with a know...

Some notes on distributions

Formally, distributions are usually defined as continuous linear functions on a certain topological vector space of “test functions”. However, it is not surprising that useful mathematical objects such as distributions also have a natural, concrete description. We shall start from this viewpoint, and later explain the abstraction to topological vector spaces, and explain why the latter is impor...

Some Notes on Novarsenobillon

During my service i;n the Voluntary Venereal Hospital, Alipore, I had occasion to make many injections of novarsenobillon. I have kept notes of this work, and as I have now left that institution, I am summarising the practical points in the hope that my experience may be of interest to those who have less frequent opportunities of using" this drug". I have already published in the Indian Medica...
