It is desirable that the following note by Mr. T. V. Holmes should appear 

 in the present number of the Transactions, while the subject referred to is fresh 

 in the minds of the readers of Mr. Kendall's paper. [Editor.] 



Dec. iSSs. 



28 Grooms Hill, Greenwich, 



November, 1885. 



Thanks for the sight of Mr. Kendall's remarks. Gonsidering the want of 

 available space in the Transactions this year, I am glad to find that there is no 

 urgent need to add anything to what I have already written. On the other 

 hand, I am soriy that Mr. Kendall has not enriched the Trans. Gurab. Assoc, 

 with the plate of sections given by him in Proc. N. Eng. Inst. Min. Eng., and 

 referred to by me in my paper last year, as it would have illustrated better than 

 many pages of writing the difference between our respective views.
