Abstract
IN NATURE of April 2, Dr. A. B. Searle refers at some length to a discourse on clay which I gave at the Royal Institution a few months ago. Dr. Searle is too generous to me in his account of our present knowledge of clay structure. The application of the X-ray methods to this difficult but most interesting problem was, in the first place, based on the silicate investigations at Manchester, and has been made by many workers, especially by Pauling and his collaborators in the United States, and by Nagelschmidt and others in Germany and Great Britain. My discourse was a brief summary and comment on the work done and doing by others than myself.
