Abstract
WITH reference to the passage of Tacitus, “Germ.” 45, quoted in NATURE, vol. xxiii. p. 459, I would suggest that the reading equorum, proposed by some commentators, is far happier than deorum. “It is believed that a sound is heard, that the forms of the horses and rays from a head are seen.”
