Abstract
IN reply to Prof. Eddington's letter in NATURE for June 6 (vol. 115, p.870), it will be enough to state that the type of ether motion alluded to in my first letter on this subject is, in spite of appearances, strictly irrotational. For all details and the literature of the subject the reader may be referred to my paper on “Stokes-Planck's Aether” in the Phil. Mag. for February 1920, p. 161. The irrotationality of Lorentz's solution to which the said motion corresponds is there sufficiently emphasised.
