I HAVE been expecting to see some comment in NATURE upon Sir Oliver Lodge's suggestion under the above title in the issue of March 13, 1926, but none seems to have appeared. It is not my purpose to dwell upon the propriety of naming so insignificant and dense an object as the companion to Sirius for one whose contributions to science have been so large and brilliant. It is the suggestion regarding the companion to Algol that needs comment. Vogel's contributions to the art of measuring radial velocities put him in the first rank, but they do not include the discovery of the first spectroscopic binary. As this is an error that has often been repeated it may be well to set down the facts.
