MR. PAGE, the author of a work entitled ``New Light from Old Eclipses,'' which was noticed in NATURE last April, has forwarded the following communication on the subject of the eclipse of Thales. The views which Mr. Page entertains on the subject of these ancient eclipses are not those generally accepted; but he believes a crucial test of the superiority of his system is afforded by this particular eclipse; and the author of the notice referred to is therefore invited to furnish a parallel calculation, based upon the theories which have hitherto received general support. This invitation the writer must decline, simply because two far abler hanis than his have already investigated this problem on the lines which he would have pursued; and he could add nothing to the authority that accompanies the utterances of Dr. J. R. Hind, the Superintendent of the English ``Nautical Almanac,'' and. Prof. Simon Newcomb, the Superintendent of the American.
