DR. L. J. SPENCER'S contribution to NATURE of January 28, on the ``Origin of Tektites'', has interested me greatly, especially for the reason that his views tend to support that of the late Prof. J. W. Gregory and my own, as to the terrestrial origin of the australites. Dr. Spencer's explanation, however, does not appear to account for the occurrences and shapes of these australites, for the bomb-shaped ones have undoubtedly received their form by a spinning action, and not by a mere fusion of the sand covering the continental duricrust. Moreover, the australites are found in every State of Australia, and where they are abundant there is at present no evidence of meteoritic falls.
