Abstract
I THINK it is only right that attention should bedirected to certain facts concerning the communication from A. Malabotti, published in Nature of December 14, 1946, under this title. The work described there, far from being recent, was carried out at the Biological Research Institute of the Academy of Science in Vienna more than ten years ago, when I was director of the Institute. Malabotti was one of my students, and the work was done at my suggestion and under my supervision to supplement my own experimental work on the same subject. Accounts of the work have already been published by Malabotti1 and myself2,3. A comparison of Mr. Malabotti's communication in Nature with my paper of 1937 shows that it is an almost literal translation of the latter, with the addition of two photographs and their explanations.
