Scientific paper

IN a recent communication1, Prof. E. A. Owen advances a theory to account for the Widmanstätten figures in meteorites. He suggests that the meteorite is heated to a high temperature in its passage through the earth's atmosphere and is then suddenly, cooled on coming to rest in the earth and that in consequence a distorted body-centred lattice, in metastable equilibrium at ordinary temperatures, is produced. He supposes further that the Widmanstätten figures grow by ``prolonged annealing'' at ordinary temperatures in the earth.
