Abstract
MR. H. BLANFORD'S authority is so deservedly high, that I have had some hesitation in writing to controvert the conclusions he has adopted in the paper published in NATURE of July 7 (p. 227), entitled “The Eleven Year Periodical Fluctuation of the Carnatic Rainfall”; and to state my reasons for thinking that there is no real validity in the arguments he uses in favour of “the very high probability that the apparent undecennial fluctuation is no chance phenomenon.”
