Abstract
I WOULD beg permission to add a brief correction to my remarks relative to the quotation from Helmholtz given by Sir Thomas Wrightson, since I may have been guilty of some misunderstanding. Sir Joseph Larmor has been kind enough to explain to me how the relation between the wave-length of the vibrations set up in a closed volume of liquid by a vibrating body immersed in it and the dimensions of this body is of importance in the case of the cochlea.
