Abstract
AT various times since the appearance of Mr. W. E. Wilson's suggestion (NATURE, July 9) that the presence of radium in the sun might enter as an important factor in contributing to solar radiation, I had intended directing the attention of geologists to the direct application of this suggestion to the views entertained as to the extent of geological time. Absence from home led me to defer doing so.
