Abstract
WILL you allow me to correct an unfortunate slip of the pen in my article on “The Silver Streak and the Channel Tunnel” in the current number of the Contemporary Review? The rate of the progress of the French Channel Tunnel from the little village of Sangatte towards the English shores was, in November last, 18 yards per day and not “per week.” At the present time the Beaumont and English boring machine is cutting the 7-foot driftway at the rate of more than 20 metres per day, and has not arrived at the limit of its capacity.
