Abstract
IN the last paragraph of my letter to NATURE (Dec. 31, p. 197), I stated that those who, having investigated the question of the influence of coal-dust in colliery explosions, had come to the conclusion that coal-dust is not, as a rule, the principal agent in an explosion occurring in a dry and dusty mine, appear to have omitted to take one important element of the case into consideration; and in saying so I implied that, if they had not made this omission, their conclusions in this respect would probably have been more in accordance with my own.
