IN NATURE for September 8 last (vol. 108, p. 69), at the end of ``Our Astronomical Column,'' attention is directed to the naming by Dr. Max Wolf of two of his asteroids in Astronomische Nachrichten, No. 5116. They are No. 834, Burnhamia, and No. 907, Barnardiana. In commenting on these asteroids NATURE infers that they were named after two American astronomers. While it is true that Prof. Burnham's memory is thus honoured, Barnardiana was not named after me, but in memory of Mrs. Rhoda Calvert Barnard, who died on May 25, 1921. This is evident from the following quotation from a letter to me by Dr. Wolf on the subject:-
