Abstract
A SHORT time ago (NATURE, May 25) I directed attention to a misconception which seemed to prevail among seismologists as to the behaviour of a spirit-level. It may perhaps be useful to point out another fallacy, also of an elementary hydro-mechanical nature, involved in some of the unsuccessful attempts to record vertical motion.
