Abstract
THE fused-ring structure for the sydnones is as unacceptable to Prof. Wilson Baker and his colleague1 as to Mr. Eade and myself. They suggest that since a reasonable structure of the classical type cannot be assigned to these substances, they are probably hybrids of some of the possible extreme dipolar structures, but they give no experimental evidence. The subject having been raised, it might be as well to indicate the lines on which we have done further experimental work.
