Abstract
PROF. BOYCOTT'S statement is rather surprising; but I cannot think that the explanation is to be found in the larger amount of domestic smoke in Manchester. One would rather expect the reverse, and I can only suppose that the difference between Manchester and London dirt is due to the larger amount of dust not arising from smoke, as Prof. Boycott suggests. Any difference in the quality of coal used in Manchester and London would scarcely have the effect he describes.
