Abstract
DR. N. ERNEST DORSEY (Jour. Franklin Inst.201, pp. 485-496, April 1926) in America, and Dr. G.C.Simpson (Proc. Roy. Soc., A, vol. in, No. 757, May 1926) in England, have recently published papers in which they have discussed from theoretical considerations the start and progress of a lightning flash, and in a recent number of NATURE (August 7, p. 190) these two authors discuss the question again, and even if they do not arrive at opposite conclusions they, nevertheless, are not by any means in accord.
