Abstract

THE very important and fundamental experiments described by Profs. E. Rutherford and H. T. Barnes in NATURE of October 29 will have been read with the greatest interest. Owing to the importance of the subject, I should like to direct the authors' attention to some points in their comment and explanation which do not appear to me to be quite clear, and if I can draw from them some more detailed discussion this letter will have served its purpose.
