Abstract
THE diagram on the following page gives the curve of eccen• tricity as found in Croll's work, and also in Stockwell's.The former was computed with a view of explaining the climate of past time; the latter, in examining the moon's mean motion.It will be seen that the curves have the same general form, dif• fering in the value of the ordinates, more than in the position of the maximum and minimum points.I have recomputed the values by Le Verrier's old fOl'mulre, and find Croll's figures correct in most cases, and not in error to the amount 0[' '001 except in one instance.My work extends over 1,100,000 years, and is for points nearer together than Croll's.Stockwell's is doubtless nearer correct than the other, but there is substantial agreement.The two curves for the last 40,000 years, and for the next 30,000, are almost identical; so nearly is this the case, that only one Ene is drawn in the figure for those periods.Curve of eccentricity of the Earth's Orbit.The upper line Croll's;
