Abstract
IN the Tilden Lecture delivered before the Chemical Society on January 18, Prof. J. M. Robertson outlined first the scope, limitations and possible future developments of the X-ray and electron diffraction methods, and then went on to consider the nature and lengths of bonds with particular reference to the results of recent diffraction studies. The emphasis throughout was on organic structures, as would be expected from one who has contributed more than any other single worker to our knowledge of the precise crystal structures of organic compounds.
