Abstract
ILL-HEALTH has hitherto prevented my making the comments which seemed called for by Lord Kelvin's friendly article of March 7, in reply to my communication of January 3. Perhaps I may be allowed not merely to restrict my remarks to this article, but to deal more generally with the subject, in the hope of clearing away the misapprehensions which exist between modern geologists and palæontologists, who are no longer uniformitarians, and physicists who are represented by Lord Kelvin.
