Abstract
MAY I be permitted to make a correction of an error in Sir Richard Paget's obituary notice of my cousin, Dr. Frank Bottomley, in NATURE of February 16, p. 212? Sir Richard states that Frank Bottomley's stepmother was “the widowed sister of Lord Kelvin”. Frank Bottomley's father, being a son of Lord Kelvin's sister Anna, could not possibly have married another of the sisters. Lord Kelvin had three sisters, namely, Elizabeth, widow of the Rev. David King (she never remarried); Anna, Mrs. William Bottomley, who was Frank Bottomley's grandmother; and Margaret, who died in early childhood. As a matter of fact, Frank Bottomley's stepmother was a sister of Lord Kelvin's second wife.
