Abstract
WRITING with reference to the review of Hatch and Wells' "Petrology of Igneous Rocks", which appeared in NATURE of May 28, p. 952, Dr. A..K. Wells has directed attention to the second paragraph, which he believes suggests that he has been guilty of plagiarizing the scheme of classification of rocks put forward in the report of a research committee of the British Association. This was not the intention of the reviewer, who states that at no time has he entertained such an idea. He adds that considerations of space precluded mention of the fact, well known to him and to others interested, that Dr. Wells was the moving spirit of the committee in question. The main object of the review was to indicate the radical changes made in the new edition of Hatch and Wells' well-known text-book.
