In 1905, Burgess and Holt observed that fusing mixtures of boric oxide B 2 O 3 and sodium carbonate Na 2 CO 3 yielded on cooling two crystalline compounds with definite compositions, consistent with anhydrous borax Na 2 B 4 O 7 (which can be written Na 2 O·2B 2 O 3) and sodium octaborate Na 2 B 8 O 13 (which can be written Na 2 O·4B 2 O 3).

Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is with compounds with very complex names, is a repository for some names that may be considered unusual. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the ...
The book is a collection of Holt's previous 25 essays on such diverse themes as science, philosophy, the nature of time, eugenics, quantum physics, string theory, relativity, the future of the universe, and the foundation of mathematics; Holt also explores the works of such scientists as Alan Turing, Benoit Mandelbrot, Emmy Noether, and others.
On 10 December 1897, Dampier married Catherine Durning Holt, a daughter of Robert Durning Holt, of a Liverpool shipowning family.
