Abstract
MR. DONALD MURRAY'S letter (p. 125) deals with a subject which I have been attempting, now for more than a year, to attack experimentally. A similar experience to that which Mr. Murray describes as the experience of a lifetime occurred to me eighteen months ago in a visit to the gold mines of Western Australia. Since then my thoughts have been less concerned with the radio-elements than with those like gold, platinum, thallium, indium, &c., which resemble radium in the minuteness and approximate constancy of the proportion in which they occur in nature.
