Abstract
MANY will sympathise with Dr. Norman Campbell in his desire that the Royal Society should ever exercise that leadership which is its right; all will regret that he should have supported his views by such misleading statements as are contained in his letter in NATURE of March 5.

No such list is ever asked for by the Society; no evidence is demanded from the candidate himself.
