Abstract
WHILE in no way attempting to dispute the authority of the writer of the article on gun-cotton in NATURE of July 1, I should like to take the opportunity of expressing my surprise at the conclusions there reached. On general grounds one would anticipate that plant-products, such as cellulose and alcohols, could be prepared in any country, so long as plants grew; they stand in sharp distinction from metals and petrol, which are not of universal occurrence.
