MR. PROCTOR entirely misunderstands me if he thinks that my criticism on his account of the solar parallax had reference to any failure on his part to give prominence to the discussion between Mr. Stone and myself, or to correctly apprehend that discussion. To point out all the imperfections and inaccuracies in his account would take a whole column of NATURE, and I have neither the time nor the disposition to make such a display of the accidental errors of a fellow-worker in the astronomical field. But, if Mr. Proctor desires it, I will constitute him judge in his own case in form and manner as follows: I will send him privately the list of specifications on which my criticism was founded. If, in his opinion, this list fails completely to sustain the proposition that his history of recent researches on the solar parallax is ``imperfect and inaccurate in a remarkable degree,'' he is to publish it with any defence he chooses to make. Otherwise he may keep it for his own private use in case he brings out a second edition of his work. The kind spirit in which he has taken my remarks is highly appreciated, and I shall be happy to hear from him privately on the subject.
