Abstract

WHEN your letter of November 23, 1914, enclosing a note by Mr. George Abbott on the silicified structures described in Memoir No. 28 of the Geological Survey of Canada as Atikokania lawsoni, reached me on December 8, I had on my table a copy of NATURE of January 29, 1914, containing the note on “Zonal Structure in Colloids,” by Mr. Abbott. Prior to meeting with this article, I did not know of the remarkable structure of the Sunderland Magnesian Limestone, or I should have certainly directed attention to it.
