Abstract
REFERRING to the communication of Messrs. C. J. Smithells and H. P. Rooksby in NATURE of Aug. 13, p. 226, concerning their own and Mr. F. S. Tritton's observations on sub-grain boundaries in tungsten and iron, it may be of interest to record that we have observed a similar structure in nickel, as illustrated in the accompanying photomicrograph (Fig. 1.) This particular specimen was melted in an atmosphere of hydrogen, cooled rather slowly until below the solidification point and then somewhat more rapidly to room temperature.
