Abstract
IT is well known that many of the trace elements of coal are enriched in certain of the waste products, such as flue dusts, resulting from the utilization of the coal. Crawley1, and Forrest, Smith and Ward2 have recently commented on the value of products of this type as raw materials for the recovery of germanium. In the course of work on the behaviour of germanium and other trace elements during the utilization of coal, we have obtained results suggesting conclusions rather different from some of the concepts implied in the note of Forrest et al.
