Abstract
IN reply to Mr. James Foulds's inquiry in NATURE (March 15, p. 464) whether the prismatic forms of ice such as he has recently observed in Lancashire have been observed elsewhere, it may suffice to refer him to previous volumes of NATURE, more particularly to vols. xxxi. and xlvii., for letters from Messrs. Woodd-Smyth and McGee, also from myself. In the latter volume is an account by me of a more extended series of observations on these “crystallites” than previous observers appear to have made. Friability of soils is due to interstitial water.
