Abstract
IT is unfortunate that Dr. Yü is not more easily accessible to direct correspondence about his new synthesis of X-ray data for the determination of crystal structures1. If the method is what he claims it to be, it is certainly an important advance ; the details he gives, however, are not self-explanatory, and physical reasoning would suggest that the advantages he claims cannot possibly be obtained from the X-ray data given by any actual crystal.
