gation were several which gave a smaller value for the
diameter of the sun ; and as I am not aware that any
sensible difference has ever been observed between the
polar and equatorial diameters, this result seemed ad-
verse to the theory of a connection between the pyramid
measures and the diameters of the three bodies, until it
occurred to me that probably one diameter referred to
the photosphere, and the other to the comparatively dark
and solid or liquid body of the sun. This latter diameter
is 853,718 pyramid miles, or 2,220 miles less than that
of the photosphere, and the following equations, in
which it is represented by the Greek letter σ, will show
its connection with the pyramid measures :—

The length of the earth's polar axis is assumed by
pyramidists to be 500,000,000 pyramid inches, or 7,891 '41
pyramid miles of 63,360 pyramid inches to the mile, or
7,899-30 English miles, while the value derived by Col.
