Abstract
IN Nature of August 20, p. 320, a letter appeared giving details of experiments which indicated that falling drops, which strike the surface of water at their terminal velocity, do not produce vortex rings in the water. I have, however, recently performed experiments, on similar lines, which in no way agree with this result.
