IN a recent letter1 we showed that the diffuse X-ray reflections from single crystals of alkali metals are related to the elastic constants in just the way predicted by the Waller theory2, as interpreted and applied by Jahn3. We are now able to give data for sodium which will illustrate this more conclusively.
