KAYSING suggested recently1 that Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia, was a possible source area for the Australian group of tektites. This suggestion was based on extrapolation from the observation of McColl and Williams2 that the ``majority of australite localities in south central Australia are concentrated along a line extending northwestwards .... A second subparallel line may exist in the west of South Australia, separated from the main line by an extensive tract of australite-deficient country''. They consider that these lines represent primary distribution patterns, and Kaysing1 suggests that suitable assumptions about ejection angles and allowance for the Earth's rotation ``brings the intersection of the infall lines to Lake Toba''.
