Abstract
IT should be remembered, in connexion with the work to which Mr. Thorne Baker refers, that the first communication upon this subject was published in NATURE of July 12, 1877 (16, p. 218) under the title ” The Influence of Light upon the Development of Bacteria”. The authors were Dr. (now Sir Arthur) Downes and T. P. Blunt, and a paper by them entitled ” The Influence of Light upon Bioplasm” was read before the Royal Society in the following year. The experiments described were chiefly concerned with the effect of visible light upon various organisms.—Editor, NATURE.
