UPON my return to London yesterday, I received the two last numbers of NATURE (May 11 and 18), in both of which I find communications on this subject. In the first of these, by Archdeacon Pratt, that gentleman inserts a quotation from a lecture delivered by me, on January 29, this year, ``On the Nature of the Earth's Interior'' (vide NATURE, February 9, 1871), to the effect that the recent experimental researches of the eminent astronomer and mathematician, M. Delaunay, had destroyed the basis upon which the late Mr. Hopkins's reasonings, as to the solidity of the earth's interior, were founded, and asks the lecturer, i.e., me, ``I wonder why he has taken no notice of my letter in reply to M. Delaunay, which was printed in your journal for July 1870, six months before the lecture was delivered, and which also appeared about the same time in the Philosophical Magazine and the Geological Magazine. In this I showed that M. Delaunay had evidently misconceived the problem, and that Mr. Hopkins's method is altogether unaffected by his remarks.''
