DEAR SIR, May I point out an unfortunate oversight made by me on. pages 153 and 252 of Elements of Psychology edited from the lectures of the late George Groom Robertson ? The review there quoted from contained in the pages of this journal and signed " Editor," was by the present Editor and not by Robertson, who had before then resigned. To the former I offer my sincere apologies. Neither Mr. Charles Robert- son nor Mr. Whittaker is responsible for this mistake, the notes quoting from the review having been inserted after they had seen the proofs. Believe me, Yours faithfully, C. A. F. RHYS DAVIDS.
