THE suggestion that the primitive atmosphere was highly reducing and consisted mainly of methane, ammonia and water vapour1 is supported by Miller's observation that amino-acids are formed by electrical discharges through such a mixture2 and the synthesis of various biomolecules under presumed primitive Earth atmospheres containing ammonia3. Bada and Miller4 point out that an ammonium ion concentration of 10-2 to 10-3 M is necessary for the synthesis of these biomolecules while Rasool and McGovern5 suggest that a methane-ammonia atmosphere could have been maintained for 109 years by a low leakage rate of hydrogen.
