Abstract
I AM obliged to Mr. Lynn for pointing out that the statement by “P. S.” was contradicted. I had not been aware of this. It never occurred to me to doubt either the authorship or the authenticity of the statement. I cannot tell how it chanced that “W. T. L.'s” response escaped my attention. Perhaps I never saw the January number of the Astronomical Register; or perhaps, a variety of other reasons which would not interest your readers.
