Abstract
MR. EDWARD ROBERTS' letter in NATURE for April 14 contains statements giving an erroneous view of the origin of the tide predicter. Any one who feels sufficient interest in the subject to derive full information will find it in my paper on βThe Tide-Gauge, Tidal Harmonic Analyser, and Tide-Predicter,β read before the Institution of Civil Engineers on March 1 and in the abstract of the discussion which followed it, to be published in the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution (vol. lxv. sess. 1880β81, part iii.), and he will see that my letter in NATURE of March 31 is correct.
