Abstract

IN a letter to NATURE of September 22, p. 435, under this heading, L. F. Bates and J. Stanley Rogers suggest that the H-particles found by us (NATURE, September 15, p. 394) to become expelled from the atoms of Be, Mg, and Si, probably also of Li, by -particles, are really identical with the long-range -particles which these authors have obtained from radium C deposited on a brass disc. Highly interesting as their communication is, it does not, however, seem to have any direct bearing on our results.
