THE well-filled lectures on Solar Physics by Prof. Balfour Stewart, published in NATURE, vol. xxiv. pp. 114, 150, will undoubtedly promote the study and assist the understanding of those subjects; and if a single one of the many items alluded to was not quite correctly described, that is neither surprising in itself nor likely to do much harm amidst the wealth of information which was at the same time both correctly stated and neatly conveyed. I should not therefore think myself now called on to notice one exceptional paragraph, but that it contains a most singular mistake in attributing to me conclusions from my own Edinburgh observations that are the very opposite of what I have often published between 1869 and the present time. Nor do I propose to make any positive complaint; for I rather admire the honesty of the lecturer who, after arguing for the more spotted periods of the sun's disk being its occasions of strongest heat evolutions, yet stated voluntarily and against himself that a directly opposite conclusion to his had been deduced by me from the unrivalled collection of more than thirty years of rockthermometer observations on the Calton Hill. That is to fay, that a certain eleven-year heat-wave shown by those thermometers coincided with, not the maximum, but the minimum spotted state of the sun; subject however to what the lecturer termed ``a slight'', but in reality a two or three year ``lagging behind'' the visible solar phenomenon.
