Abstract
HAVING been responsible for the final values of g derived from the pendulum observations made in the Antarctic in 1902β3 by Commander Bernacchi and his associate Engineer-Commander Skelton, I wish to direct attention to a point which has apparently escaped your reviewer when making the following statements (NATURE, vol. 111, p. 898): βThe mean value of g from the three pendulums used in 1912 [by Capt. C. S. Wright] at Cape Evans was 983.003 from the July series and 983.004 from the August series. Commander Bernacchi obtained the values 982.970, 982.979,and 983.025. These values may be compared with the standard value 981.292 at Potsdam.β
