Abstract
I HAVE recently seen a paper, read before the Physical Society by the Hon. Ralph Abercromby, which apparently shatters an explanation proposed by me to the same Society of the phenomena of the shadow of Adam's Peak in Ceylon. Whilst not anxious to support my own theory, if one more consistent with the phenomena has been discovered, I venture to think that there are certain considerations which militate against the new theory, and render it incomplete; and, with your permission, I will enumerate them.
