Abstract
AT the place referred to by Mr. Thompson in NATURE (No. 150, p. 393) I merely followed Sir John Herschel; expressing myself, it is true, not very accurately, in my anxiety to save space in NATURE at the end of a letter already too long. If Mr. Thompson refers to Sir John's “Meteorology,” sections 219 to 224. and still thinks the point requires fuller elucidation, he may possibly supply the deficiency by devising an experiment to prove that the width of the fringes does not vary inversely as the diameter of the drops.
