Abstract
IT seems to have been implied, in recent discussions, that the Stokes-Planck ether theory, while correlating the facts of astronomical aberration and other first order phenomena having to do with the earth's motion, is also in harmony with Prof. Miller's recent experiments in which he concludes that there is an ether drift relative to the earth, amounting to zero at the earth's surface and to something of the order of 10 kilometres per second at the altitude of Mount Wilson. It would appear that this conclusion cannot be substantiated.
