Abstract
MY attention has been called to a review of Dr. Kidder's “Report on the Ornithology of Kerguelen Island,” in NATURE of the 10th instant (p. 317, supra). Will you kindly permit me to express regret that the reviewer should have alluded to priority of publication of the results of the American and English expeditions to that island? To many persons his remarks on this point will appear to be ungenerous and needlessly sarcastic to the foreign naturalists. The subject is a delicate one, and I am sorry to have occasion to mention it, especially as an Englishman should be the last to approach it.
