Abstract
I DO not deserve the reproaches of Prof. Coleman (NATURE, June 17, p. 775). My molten earth did not, in point of fact, owe its thermal energy to primitive condensation, but to accumulated radioactive heat, as the concluding part of my lecture might have shown. I am committed neither to the nebular theory nor to the planetesimal theory.
