Abstract
[The intention of the article to which Prof. Lyman refers was to promote increased attention to acoustic research; and we regret that a phrase in it should be regarded by him as implying a lack of respect for the pioneer work done by the late Prof. Sabine. While readily admitting the value and completeness of Prof. Sabine's papers, the continued useful activities of his acoustic laboratory would seem to indicate that in the general sense intended the expression used in reference to the need for further investigation was justified. It may be true that rules have been worked out upon which a perfect acoustic building can be constructed; the practical problem presented to the architect, however, often takes the form of the provision of acoustic success with prescribed limitation in the matter of design, and it is in this direction that further knowledge is needed.—EDITOR, NATURE.]
