Abstract
THE photograph of the “Leaning” Tower of Pisa in NATURE of August 4 shows clearly that the top tier is not square with the rest. From a rough alignment with the edge of a postcard, the photograph appears as if the tower was of the order of 25 mm./metre out of plumb when the top tier was put on presumably plumb.
