THE admirable article under the above title in the issue of NATURE for February 27 will be welcomed by all who cherish the belief that active development of chemical, study is vital to the welfare of the State, and modestly hope that public recognition of this fact, so long deferred, may be acknowledged before it is too late. I am convinced, however, that this recognition will not be accorded until the question of nomenclature, to which you refer, has been arranged satisfactorily.
