Abstract
I AM grateful to Dr. Croll for noticing my letter. But I continue to think that if what seems to me to be the fundamental proposition of his theory, and which I quoted at the beginning of my former letter, be correct, and if the manner in which he and his reviewer have applied it be likewise correct, then we ought to find those differences in the air temperatures which my equations indicate. I say air-temperatures, because in Dr. Croll's theory changes of climate are referred to the varying distance of the sun, and climate depends on the temperature of the air.
