Abstract
SINCE the Duke of Argyll's references to myself have been interpreted in a manner likely to convey an erroneous impression to the readers of NATURE, it seems to me to be now necessary to give some explanation of the facts in which I am concerned. I intend, however, to go no further than to establish the position his Grace has taken up as regards myself. Such a step, savouring somewhat of presumption on my part, would not have been taken if Prof. Judd had admitted that, although no paper of mine was ever before the Council of the Geological Society, an offer to present such a paper was, doubtless for sufficient reasons, at once declined.
