Abstract
SINCE publishing the paper in the Astronomische Nachrichten (No. 3992), the investigations there outlined have been considerably extended, and lead to some remarkable results. My only purpose in this letter is to direct attention more particularly to the physical cause of the earth's rigidity. This seems to have remained rather obscure, and I am not aware that any definite theory has been adopted to account for the remarkable fact established by the researches of Lord Kelvin and Prof. G. H. Darwin.
