Abstract
As the result of my letter on “Continents and Oceans”, which appeared in NATURE for Nov. 30, several correspondents have directed my attention to Lothian Green's ‘tetrahedral hypothesis’. This hypothesis was devised to explain why the continents have oceans at their antipodes, and Prof. J. W. Gregory has given an excellent account of it in his little book entitled “The Making of the Earth”, published in 1912.
