Abstract
PROF. ALEXANDER JÓHANNESSON, whose article appeared in NATURE of February 5, is, I believe, the first philologist of high academic standing who has systematically studied the sounds of speech from the point of view of the gestures of articulation which produce them, and has thus discovered for himself the pantomimic structure of human speech. His conclusions coincide generally with my own, which were originally drawn from the acoustic study of speech sounds.
