Abstract
A PAPER entitled βOn the Simplest Continuous Mani-foldness of Two Dimensions and of Finite Extent,β by Mr. F. W. Frankland, was read before the London Mathematical Society, December 14, 1876 (Proc., vol. viii. pp. 57β64), and was subsequently published in our columns (vol. xv. p. 515) This same paper, or one of similar character with identical title, appears to have given rise to a paper by Mr. Skey, which took the form of notes on Mr. Frankland's paper, and was read before the Wellington Philosophical Society on June 26, 1880 (published in the thirteenth volume of the Transactions of the New Zealand Institute). The pamphlet before us is an abridgment of a series of letters in which Mr. Frankland convincingly replies seriatim to the main points raised by Mr. Skey, and maintains his former ground by additional arguments.
