Abstract
IN the recent joint discussion of Sections A (Mathe matical and Physical Sciences) and B (Chemistry) on September 10, at the British Association meeting at Aberdeen, on heavy hydrogen, two points of some interest were referred to by those taking part. During the last two years, the experimental confirmation of the theoretical anticipations of the differences in behaviour, both physical and chemical, of the two hydrogen isotopes has proceeded at a remarkable speed. In the course of these investigations, in which both light and heavy hydrogen have been employed under similar conditions, it has been found possible to examine by isotopic labelling of the hydrogen atoms in a molecule a certain number of what may be termed exchange reactions.
