Gives account of observations on lunar radiation, including detailed description of experiments.
Apologizes for not having seen JH's paper on spectra of colored flames and thus having overlooked JH's prior claims [see JH's 1861-7-21]. Will try to make amends.
Clarifies that JT does not believe moon radiates cold itself, but effects are 'as if' it did. Relates this to atmosphere.

Finds JT's work on thermotics 'highly interesting,' although criticizes measurements of 'tenuity' of vapor, and explanation of scattering of sunlight and formation of corona around moon during eclipse.
Reply to JT's 'Remarks on Radiation and Absorption.' Calls non-absorption of air and vapor key to understanding meteorological phenomena. Remarks on 'radiant heat' from moon.
Thanks for and comments on paper and lectures on 'diathermancy &c' of gases, scientific teaching, and solar chemistry. Regrets that JT mentioned all names connected with light research except JH's. Remarks on absorption of light, molecular vibrations.
Does not believe surface of moon can radiate cold; perhaps new moon can. Explains this geometrically.
