Abstract
I WAS interested to read the comments of Gordon and his collaborators on the infra-red spectra of coal1. The spectral range of our earlier work2 was limited to 1,000–10,000 cm.−1, because our first thin sections were mounted on fluorite plates with a transmission limit of 1,000 cm.−1. Later work, as yet unpublished3, using the ‘Nujol’ dispersion technique4, extended the spectra of coals to 650 cm.−1, the limit of the rock-salt prism spectrometers used.
