Abstract
IN a recent communication1 C. V. Raman and P. Nilakantan report the presence in Laue photographs of weak intensity maxima which cannot be interpreted as Laue spots. They suggest that the new maxima are due to lattice vibrations which cause stratifications of density with the same spacing as the lattice planes, but with an orientation variable between wide limits.
