Abstract
ALLOW me a few final words on this curious case. I spoke of the Trans. C. P. S., 1849–54, in which Stokes' papers were “buried,” as “almost inaccessible.” This expression was challenged by the ex-Secretary of the Society, and I replied that the question could be decided by statistics alone. I indicated what statistics were required, and waited some weeks for them. The present Secretary then gave me the less essential part of the desired information, and I proceeded to make the best I could of it. Now I am told that I misunderstood his object, and that he practically admits what his predecessor challenged.
