Abstract
IN view of Dr. A. E. Oxley's remarks in NATURE of March 25, I should like to point out that the object of my letter was to inquire whether the supposition of stationary electrons is essential to Langmuir's theory. Langmuir himself expressed the hope that it would be possible to reconcile his theory with that of Bohr, “which has had such marked success in explaining, and even in predicting, new facts.” I ventured to suggest that electrons revolving round the nucleus could form stable groups as required by Langmuir without needing to be stationary.
