Abstract
THE notice in NATURE (vol. xxii. p. 207) of the experimental researches of Professors Haughton and E. Reynolds on the coefficient of friction of water upon water, having concluded with the statement that “the authors of this research point out that these results tend to negative the theory of Dr. Carpenter that the phenomena of ocean-circulation are due to the greater height of the water at the equator as compared with that at the poles,” I must be allowed to protest against being credited (or rather discredited) with a doctrine which is neither expressed nor implied in anything I have written on the subject.
