Abstract
IN a previous communication in Nature1, it was pointed out that dielectric measurements on solid methyl palmitate, in the microwave region, showed features which were difficult to explain on the basis of a purely relaxation type of loss, and it was suggested that resonance absorption was occurring at some frequency in this region. This conclusion was criticized2, and it must be admitted that the evidence was not entirely convincing.
