Abstract
IN the current number of the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society I have put forward a proposal for a name for a unit of acceleration, and shown how the introduction of such a unit leads up to the unit of potential which is required in the discussion of certain problems in aerodynamics. It has been suggested to me that as the proposal does not concern meteorologists alone it should be canvassed in a journal which is read by other physicists. I have written the following notes in the hope that you will be able to find room for them in NATURE.
