Abstract
IN NATURE, vol. xxxiii. p. 367, is an article by Mr. G. H. Darwin, defending his theory of tidal evolution, and dealing with what I have written respecting that theory. Space will here prevent my replying at length to the above; but as the author of it seems to think that my inquiry has been confined too much to the mode of origin of the moon, I have pushed it out in other directions, when important results have been obtained. I purpose here chiefly devoting my space to these, which can be put in a comparatively short and simple form.
