Abstract
IN the issue of NATURE for May 9, p. 726, a short account is given of an investigation by Dr. A. E. H. Tutton of the length of the yard in terms of the wave-length of light. This being the first occasion on which the value of the yard in wave-lengths has been directly determined, considerable interest naturally attaches to the result.
