page 170 note 1 Phil. Mag., 01, 1904, p. 14.Google Scholar According to an anonymous review recently published in Nature of 02 27 (p. 704),Google Scholar Col. Burrard is said to have overlooked this paper by Mr. Fisher. He, however, answered it in the same volume of the Phil. Mag. (p. 292)Google Scholar; but the Editor of Nature, although he is aware that Col. Burrard is in India and cannot thus reply for some weeks, has refused to correct his statement on the grounds that the remark “applies with perfect correctness to the memoir reviewed”. In other words, the reviewer is able to distinguish between the knowledge possessed by Col. Burrard and that possessed by the writer of Col. Burrard's memoir! The existence of this uncanny ability suggests a clue to the origin of the legend that the Editor of Nature sometimes appears to confuse himself with the Author of it.
