Scientific paper

IN a letter in NATURE (Jan. 20, 1921; vol. 106, p. 661) I took occasion to point out that the year of Ramanujan's birth was given in some notices as 1887 and in others as 1888. I wrote at the time to Prof. Seshu Aiyar, of Madras, but my letter miscarried, and the question has only recently been put to him. He writes explicitly and emphatically, under date Feb. 20, 1924: ``The correct date of Ramanujan's birth as given in his horoscope preserved in his family is the 9th day of Margasirsha in the Samvat Sarvajit, answering to the English date of 22nd December, 1887''.
