Abstract
IT has been suggested to me that an account of “A New Mode of taking Casts,” reported in NATURE, May 2,1872, might convey the impression that I claimed any share in the invention. Modelling wax has been employed for this purpose in Franc by the late M. Edouard Lartet, and I have to thank Prof. Busk, F.R.S., for having first brought the use of the material before my notice. My sole object was to formulate the process according to my own experience of its utility, that it might be employed by others for the multiplication of type specimens, without any idea of claiming its invention.
