Abstract
ON p. 413 of NATURE (March 5) Prof. Schott attempts to show that there is an irreconcilable inconsistency between Drude's dispersion formula and Balmer's formula for the lines in the hydrogen spectrum. I imagined that someone who could speak with greater authority than myself would make the obvious reply, but since no such reply has been forthcoming, and the arguments have been re-published in another journal, I venture to ask for space to point out why they appear to me fallacious.
