Abstract
IN the Astronomical Column of the current number of NATURE a description is given from L'Astronomie, of M. Jarson's method of giving equatorial motion to a telescope mounted on an ordinary altazimuth stand. This method will be found figured and described by Lord Lindsay, now Earl Crawford, in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, xxxvii. I, Nov. 10, 1876. Moreover, in a note appended to the paper, Lord Lindsay says that since writing it his attention had been drawn to the fact that this principle of mounting had been described by Sir George Airy in Monthly Notices, xv.
