Abstract
PROF. GATENBY says (NATURE, Mar. 24): “Prof. Walker's original position was that both categories of the cytoplasmic inclusions [mitochondria and Golgi bodies] are artefacts. In his printed paper he merely claims that the Golgi bodies alone are artefacts.” My “position ” was, continued to be in my “printed paper,” and still is, that some of the bodies claimed as mitochondria in fixed material are artefacts; and that those among the appearances claimed as Golgi apparatus, the presence of which in the cell cannot be accounted for without assuming the existence of this peculiar “organella,” as Prof. Gatenby calls it, are artefacts. Thus it would seem that either he has not read what I have written, or that he is misquoting what he has read.
