Abstract
IN a recent communication, Fernandez-Alonso and Domingo1 have reported some numerical disagreements in their para-localization energy calculation with those of Basu2. In Fernandez-Alonso and Domingo's calculation the box dimension for ethylene was taken as equal to one bond-length (as well as half bond-length) more at each end. In Basu's calculation the box dimension was taken to be equal to the length of C—C double bond.
