Comments on the relationship between the plane of the earth's orbit and the obliquity of the ecliptic.
Comments on some of CL's writings; further argues that a canal at Suez and/or Darien would have a major effect on European climate due to the effect of ocean currents coming through such canals.
Some minor suggestions regarding CL's proofs [see CL's 1866-10-19].
