Abstract
IN a recent communication in Nature1, Mrs. Lonsdale has questioned the statement made by Sir C. V. Raman2 that the X-ray data leave the question whether diamond possesses tetrahedral or octahedral symmetry of structure entirely open. The present communication is a reply to some of the specific points raised in her letter.
