Abstract
A SHORT paragraph in a recent number of NATURE (vol. xv., p. 244) on the nebulous star in the Pleiades appears to call for a few remarks. With reference to the supposed difficulty of seeing with very large instruments a faint nebulosity in close proximity to a bright star, I may say, that the words of my assistant, quoted in the paragraph referred to, viz., “The Merope nebula is never perceived with Lord Rosse's telescopes,” are perhaps a little too strong.
