Abstract
Two recent communications on electromagnetism1,2 exemplify the two basic approaches to the problem. It is possible to regard E, D, H and B as labels identifying different properties which it is convenient to distinguish, and in the main this is the approach taken by Rosser1. On the other hand, it is possible to look for physical realities corresponding to each of these terms and to examine various relationships to see whether these correspond with “reality”. This is basically the approach of Stopes-Roe2.
