Abstract
I SHOULD like to direct attention to an approach to the problem of the relation between mesons and nucleons, which, although speculative, seems to give a reasonable account of the main features of our present knowledge, including the fundamental work recently carried out at Bristol. The main assumptions., some of which have already been discussed by other physicists, are given below. We use the nomenclature employed by the Bristol observers for the different categories of mesons observed in photographic plates.
