Abstract
IT was a source of satisfaction to me to read Dr. J. W. Evans's letter in NATURE of July 12, p. 49, and to note that he recognises the importance of a further study of earth tides. I quite agree with him in thinking that more earth-tide work is likely to be done if seismographic apparatus is adapted to that purpose than if observations are made only with an apparatus of the Michelson-Gale type, or with other apparatus equally refined and specialised. The results that can be obtained with seismographic instruments seem to me well worth having, even if the curves do not show the beautiful smoothness of those of the Michelson-Gale apparatus.
