Abstract
I WELCOME Miss Barrett's supplementary letter about her brother's work. It is unsafe for a writer of an obituary notice to usurp the functions of a lawcourt to decide questions of priority or completeness of invention. “Stalloy” was, I believe, a subject of controversy, but those who knew Barrett well may hold that any claim made by him must have been well founded. As to the initiation of the S.P.R., Miss Barrett will find a notice in a forthcoming number of the Proceedings of that Society, wherein full credit is given him, with first-hand knowledge, by Mrs. Henry Sidgwick.
