REFERRING to the article on the work of Prof. Michelson in NATURE of January 2, it is interesting to note that the first suggestion as to the application of interferential methods to the determination of the angular diameter of stars appears to have been made in 1868, being due to Fizeau, and that the method was actually put to the test in France-although with negative results-seventeen years before Prof. Michelson's paper of 1910 referred to by Sir Oliver Lodge. Pointing out a relation between the width of the interference bands and the dimensions of the source of light, Fizeau added this pregnant remark:
