Abstract
UNDER the above heading, Prof. A. W. Duff, in NATURE of January 12, describes the character of the periodic tides, or secondary tidal undulations, on the eastern coasts of Canada, and offers an explanation for these based upon observations in the Bay of Fundy. Without entering into any discussion of the explanation suggested, I wish to point out that the basis of fact upon which he rests his descriptions for most of the places named, is so meagre and insufficient as to render these dsscriptions quite misleading.
