Scientific paper

IN your number of November 8 (p. 46), you gave an account of a lecture by Mr. S. M. Russell, of Pekin, on the instruments in the old Observatory there. May I mention that the late Alex. Wylie, about nine or ten years ago, published a full account of them (with illustrations) in the ``Travaux de la 3me Session du Congrès International des Orientalistes,'' vol. ii. Having had my attention drawn to them by some photographs kindly sent me by Mr. Russell, I pointed out the scientific interest of Ko Show-King's instruments (which anticipated the ideas of Tycho Brahe by three hundred years), in a paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, vol. iii., 1881, and in Copernicus, vol. i.
