Scientific paper

Prof. E. A. Owen and R. W. Williams1 have recently advanced a theory in which they account for the Widmanstätten figures in meteorites on the basis of their X-ray studies of iron-nickel alloys, natural and artificial. Their conclusions have been criticized by Prof. S. W. J. Smith and J. Young2 on the grounds that only the surface of the meteorites is heated by passage through the earth's atmosphere. This criticism must not be allowed to detract from the merits of the experimental evidence given by-Owen and Williams, which to a large extent receives confirmation from an investigation I have recently carried out with Mr. Goldschmidt.
