THE arguments detailed by Mr. Poole (NATURE, April 3) relative to the astronomical tests of the suggestion that radiation passes only between bodies are essentially those I had in mind in remarking on the difficulties with ``the ultimate trend of planetary temperatures.'' The ways of getting around these difficulties to me seem too artificial to make the ``solidangle'' hypothesis a reasonable one astronomically, even though it may be the ``rather preferable'' type of selective radiation from the point of view of a corpuscular theory. The difficulties, however, might be removed, or at least much lessened, if only a diminution of radiation in the empty angle is postulated, for the diminution would probably be a function of temperature.
