research council. But it may yet be sorry.

These two articles are the latest round In exchanges over the charge
that Professor VJ. Gupta is responsible for corruption of the palaeontological
literature on the Himalayas. Gupta (p. 307) responds to the allegations of four
co-authors of papers with him. Professor J.B. Waterhouse, another co-author,
comments below both on those allegations and on the articles by Dr John Talent
in which the issue was raised originally. Talent will reply in next
week'sNature.
