Abstract
IN NATURE of Feb. 4 (p. 173), Dr. Jeans has given an attractive exposition of his new theory of stellar evolution involving ‘liquid’ stars. With all goodwill towards innovations which might help to remove present difficulties of the evolutionary theory, I cannot follow Dr. Jeans's lead because I find myself in disagreement with him on two preliminary and essential points. These points, discussed separately below, have already been the subject of careful investigation, and even in Dr. Jeans's fuller papers on his theory I find no new considerations which would modify the conclusions formed.
