Abstract
SMALLEY1 recently disagreed with an old paper of mine2. This paper was in fact a translation of a still older publication3 which was written originally in Norwegian. Smalley ignores the rather extensive Scandinavian literature on the problem since that time. A summary of these results can be found in a more recent publication4 in which the development from the first crude attempts in 1946 to modern colloidal-chemical viewpoints is stressed.
