Abstract
HARKINS and Stone, in a letter under the above title in NATURE of September 19, state that they have found the atomic weight of meteoritic chlorine identical with that of chlorine as found on earth, within the limits of their experimental error. The question of the constancy of isotopic composition of chlorine has already proved of interest to several investigators, and one may recall the work of Curie in 1921 and of Gleditsch and others in 1922 and 1923, on the chlorine from certain ancient minerals. Their results are now confirmed by Harkins and Stone.
