Abstract
I AM surprised to observe, in the article which Prof. Sollas has written on this subject in your issue of the 4th inst., p. 533, that he speaks with approval of Dr. A. R. Wallace's method of calculating the earth's age. About two years ago (I have only this week's number of NATURE at hand) I wrote to you on this subject, and was under the impression that I had proved the complete fallacy of Dr. Wallace's method of calculation.
