Scientific paper

IN Dr. Tylor's recent review in NATURE (vol. xxiv. p. 529) of Mr. Dawson's work on the ``Folk-Lore of the Natives of Victoria,'' he refers to their tradition of ``the lost Pleiad,'' and assumes that it must have been borrowed by them from Europeans. The indefatigable Astronomer Royal for Scotland, conceiving that my researches as to the Pleiades, and especially as to traditions respecting those stars among the Australians, had been improperly ignored, wrote a letter to the Editor of NATURE, which, having been submitted to Dr. Tylor, was sent to my Canadian address, with his reply, by Prof. Piazzi Smyth, and has only reached me within the past week.
