Abstract
SINCE the publication in Nature of July 14, 1945, of my letter about the South African restrictions on the collection of vertebrate fossils, I have received letters from two South African palæontologists, one of whom supports, while the other opposes, the Act in question ; but both agree that its intention was to prevent the collection of such materials by South African amateurs. I am extremely glad to learn that there is no intention of interfering with the activities of visiting men of science.
