Abstract
WE have read with great interest the letter of Messrs. Sheppard and Keenan in NATURE of June 23 (p. 982). Some recent experiments we have made with monomolecular films of the elastic jelly of vulcanised triolein lend support to the second of their two suggestions to account for the very low values for the film thickness of cellulose esters spread on mercury. They suggest that the low value of the thickness represents the thickness of a polymeric chain or sheet.
