Abstract
I HAVE read, with no small surprise, a paragraph in NATURE of November 11 (p. 36), giving a summary of a letter from Prof. John Milne, with reference to an article by me on the seismographs now manufactured by the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company. Prof. Milne is represented as saying that, “with the exception of one or two which have been modified, a set of instruments like those recommended by Prof. Ewing are, so far as Japan is concerned, quite obsolete.” His letter is not published, and it is possible that the paragraph inadvertently does him an injustice in making him assert what has absolutely no foundation in fact.
