Abstract
THE remarks by Mr. Oldham in NATURE of November 18, p. 665, relating to a suggested variation in gravity, are of great interest. As a result of measurements of g at Melbourne in 1913, a doubt as to the invariability of g relative to that at Potsdam was forcibly borne to mind. The report (Gravity Observations, British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–1913) which gives the results of the Melbourne measurements, has been delayed in the press, but it is felt that there is some evidence in this case of a lack of constancy in the value of g relative to Potsdam.
