Abstract
IN looking through the “Dialoghi delle Nuove Scienze” of Galileo, I came unexpectedly on a passage* containing two remarkable discoveries in acoustics, which I should have confidently referrred to a much later age. For the sake of such of your readers as may share the same erroneous impression, I hope you will allow me to give, in NATURE, a short account of these results.
