Abstract
MY chief reason for desiring to reply to Prof. Howe's letter on this subject in NATURE of March 13 is that the last paragraph of the letter gives the impression, inadvertently I presume, that the implications of the adoption of Ampère's theory of magnetism had been considered fully by the International Committee when they made the recommendation that B and H were to be considered respectively in the roles of effect and cause, and their ratio therefore as an entity having physical dimensions. This is not the case.
