Abstract
IN a letter to NATURE of June 24 (p. 516) Dr. J. R. Ashworth has pointed out a possible origin of the diamagnetism of hydrogen by assuming oscillations or rotations of Bohr's paramagnetic hydrogen atom or molecule. Granted that such motions tend towards a diamagnetic effect, it is important to examine the plausibility of such a view in the light of recent experimental data. We know that:
