The attention of geologists was first called by M. Adhémar, and afterwards more fully by Mr. James Croll, to the possible importance of these long inequalities in climate, in explaining the climates of geological periods, which differ considerably from those of the present time in the same places; but, so far as I know, no one has written, down these inequalities in a mathematical form, or calculated numerically the effects upon climate they are capable of producing. I shall attempt to do so in the present note.
