Abstract
IN the letter which appeared in NATURE of September 15, p. 394, under this heading, by Dr. Kirsch and myself, there are two errors which obscure the sense of our communication. The maximum range of the H-particles expelled from silicon should read 12 cm., the corresponding number for beryllium being 18 cm., instead of vice versa. The last sentence should read: “Our results seem to indicate that an expellable H-nucleus is a more common constituent of the lighter atoms than one has hitherto been inclined to believe,” the word in italics being omitted in the printing.
