Abstract
THE extensive programme of work on the extra reflexions caused by thermal motion of the crystal lattice, which has been carried out by Lonsdale and her colleagues at the Davy Faraday Laboratory, has shown that these occur, not rarely as was at first thought, but in all crystalline substances. The technique of experimental observation of these reflexions has been so developed that at the present time an adequate survey of any particular crystal can be made in a reasonable time, using standard laboratory equipment.
