| Title | Paper, 'On the stability of a rotating spheroid of perfect liquid' by G H [George Hartley] Bryan |
| Date | 1890 |
| Description | Bryan writes: 'In my communication on “The Waves on a Rotating Liquid Spheroid of Finite Ellipticity” [see Philosophical Transactions A, volume 180], I stated that it did not appear possible to give a complete investigation of the criteria of stability of Maclaurin's spheroid when the liquid forming it is free from all traces of viscosity, and equilibrium is liable to be broken by a disturbance of a perfectly general character.'
