Abstract
I TRUST that you will afford me a little space for a few remarks upon some passages in Prof. Wyville-Thomson's book, the “Depths of the Sea,” which, owing to many engagements, has only just come into my hands. So earnest a labourer in the wide field of truth will not, I hope, deem me discourteous if I point out one corner where his feet have slipped; and if it be objected that, after all, it is only in a small spot, the learned Professor will, I am sure, agree with the answer that, even in the smallest steps towards truth, attainable accuracy is important.
