Scientific paper

IN the name of scientific accuracy and fair criticism I protest against Mr. Murphy's letter in NATURE, vol. xix. p. 197. His. remarks proceed on the perfectly gratuitous assumption that all eagles have blue eyes. As this is not a fact (the only live ones I have examined had both of them green eyes), I have no hesitation in asserting that when Shakespeare wrote ``An eagle, madam, hath not so green, so quick, so fine an eye as Paris hath'', he did so, after having seen an eagle or eagles, and that when he said green he ``evidently'' meant green, and hot blue.
