Abstract
Graphite is made up of plane layers of carbon atoms placed at the corners of regular hexagons. Lipson and Stokes1 have shown by means of powder X-ray analysis that in most of the crystals the successive layers have the position...ababa..., although about 15 per cent show the arrangement...abcabcabc... (Fig. 1).
