Abstract
I SHOULD need Mr. Laughton's hint if I had ever supposed that the cause of the vertical circulation of the ocean could be determined by such an experiment as I suggested. The experiment was specially intended to throw light on the easterly and westerly oceanic movements. For this purpose it is only necessary that the rate of rotation of the shallow cylinder should be duly adjusted to the observed rate of the vertical motions. But even in this respect the experiment would afford but an illustration, not a demonstration.
