Abstract
I WAS aware of the highly speculative nature of the explanation of the apparent coincidence of the brightest part of the spectrum with the summit of the curve of radiant energy, plotted with wavelengths as abscissa, and I fully appreciate the validity of Mr. T. Smith's arguments. It is essentially a physical problem, and I am glad that my rash statement has aroused the attention of a physicist.
