Abstract
IN reply to the letter of Prof. Kerr Grant in NATURE of April 16, similar phenomena to those which he describes have been found to occur with minute motile organisms in water, and with sediments of various kinds in water and other liquids. I have given an account of some of these appearances in my paper on the effect of gravity on the movements of microorganisms in the Transactions of the Royal Society, scries B, vol. cci., pp. 333–390. I have also obtained similar groupings with the fine sediment which is formed in a hypo-alum bath, used for toning and fixing P.O.P. prints. If a small quantity of this is poured into a shallow vessel, the particles which are at first evenly distributed through the liquid soon become aggregated into groups similar to those described by Prof. Grant.
