It is evident that mathe- matical calculations founded upon such uncertain data cannot yield trustworthy results. But this is by no means the only case in which the data employed in this paper are of uncertain value. Everywhere we meet with figures of somewh...at doubtful accuracy. Here we have somebody's ' estimate ' quoted, there another person's * observation/ and these are adopted without further remark and used in the various calculations leading to the result above quoted.

There is however one curious oversight which 52 IS MARS HABITABLE?
