Abstract
IT seems almost absurd that a subject of such interest, and, as I think, importance, as that of Spectral Nomenclature should be discussed from opposite sides of the globe alone; so it may be hoped that it will not have been allowed to end with Prof. Young's remarks upon the one or two points in which he differs from me, but will have been taken up by others at a less distance. There is a great deal more to be said about it; but probably I should not have troubled you again just yet but for the obligation I feel to disclaim credit which he gives me for what is not mine. Doubtless it is not necessary, but the obligation is the same; and a mistake into which Prof. Young has fallen is open to others.
