MR. EVERSHED'S remarks in NATURE of May 11 cause me to think that possibly an essential difference in the method employed for reproducing original negatives for journalistic purposes might go far towards explaining the difference of definition and richness of detail in M. Deslandres' plates. Anyhow, we are now assured that the Kodaikánal negatives show in the main the same structures as those taken at Meudon. Yet if the former admittedly permit such a great amount of K2 radiation to mingle with K3, it seems to me risky to base certain reasonings on the appearance of the resulting spectroheliograms. Accepting Prof. Hale's interpretation, given now many years ago, that K3 represents the highest level and K2 an intermediate one, I submit that the Meudon plates are more likely to represent the true spectroheliographic aspect of the sun. It may be, as Mr. Evershed says, that the dark concentrations called fiocculi are entirely due to variations in the intensity of the narrow absorption line (or, in my opinion, rather the other way about); but is not this variation due, if not entirely, at least to a great extent, to the presence or absence or degree of intensity of the K2 radiations on either side of K3? A study of M. Deslandres' spectroheliograms taken on the sectional principle leads one irresistibly to think so. From the preceding remarks anyone can gather why I considered, and still do, the assumption of alternating appearance and disappearance of the large flocculus covering the range of prominences during March and April, 1910, rather unlikely.
