Abstract
Scrutton (this Volume) and Lambeck (1978a) have independently reviewed the bivalve, coral, and stromatolite evidence for changes in the length of day and length of month.
1. The number Ni of solar days per year
2. The number N2 of solar days per synodic month, and
3. The number N3 of synodic months per year.
