Abstract
THE issue of NATURE of March 17 gave a historical account of the British Association's work since 1888 in the calculation of Bessel functions and of the financial difficulties which have impeded publication. It was pointed out that unless funds were provided, there was a danger that all this labour would result merely in a manuscript locked up in a fireproof safe. We are glad to hear that the appeal for funds has been successful; the British Association has contributed £100 and the Boyal Society £50, and the publication of the tables is now assured. They will form vols. 6 and 7 of the Association's collection.
