Albert SaUveur, Cambridge, Mass. (communication to the Secretary*):—On close examination I think it will be found that the evidence by which Mr. Corson claims to have shown the inaccuracy of a statement I made a few years ago, is far from convincing. This statement is: "Hot work as such has no influence upon the structure of the metal. Indirectly, however, by retarding crystallization until a lower temperature is reached, it may influence its structure most decidedly ; but the same results could be accomplished by heat treatment alone, i.e., by re-heating the unworked metal to the temperature from which the worked piece was allowed to cool undisturbedly." The Melallographist, vol. ii., p. 267 (under the head of "Changes of Structure Brought About by Work"). Of the two pieces of steel tested by Mr. Corson, one was worked and finished at a a cherry-red" and the other reheated to a cherry-red, and the assumption was made that in both cases the temperature was about 715' C., although no pyrometric device was used to record it. The possibility of considerable difference in temperature alone is so great as to invalidate Mr. Corson's inferences. The apparent temperature,

ARTHUR L. PEARSE, London, Eng. (written discussion*).-In the last paragraph Professor Baskerville correctly sums up an important position. The paper was probably written some months ago, as is indicated; if it were written today he would have further emphasized these conclusions. The oil-shale is a great industry, has been for many

THE CHAIRMAN (J. W. RICHARDS, South Bethlehem, Pa.)-The first point on which I wish to speak is that sufficient attention has not been given to the quality of the ores, in estimating the reserves. I made this same criticism of the work on the iron-ore resources of the world issued by

EUGENE WESLEY SHAW, ? Washington, D. C.- (Written discussion?).-Paraffin earth is of especial interest because of the apparent difficulty of determining its chemical nature. I have submitted specimens to three chemists at different times with suggestions as to special tests that might he made. The results are indicated in the following reports:

One of the major problems confronting coal producers in this highly competitive era is whether or not the potential profit to be made from the products of coal flotation would warrant the capital investment required for the necessary equipment. The author supplies two theoretical cases to illustrate methods for computing such costs.

This paper discusses exploration objectives and requirements for a nuclear repository in the U.S.A. The importance of designing the exploration program to meet the system performance objectives is emphasized and some examples of the extent of exploration required before the License Application for Construction Authorization is granted are also discussed.

The volume of data resulting from an intensive search for new coalfields necessitated the establishment of a computer based processing system for coalfield data. The development of this system over the past seven years is described, with particular reference to the problems encountered in both the design and operation of the data base.

Cyclone thickeners have emerged from the development stage and now can be accepted as useful tools for the recovery of fine coal from a preparation plant circulating water. As primary thickeners in a closed water circuit operation, their advantages over conventional thickening methods are twofold-the lower initial investment and reduced area requirements.

An analysis is made of three different types of section production units that represent the manner in which most of the nation's bituminous coal is produced. The general delays and production characteristics of these sections are presented along with a method for evaluating section performance based on actual and theoretical production characteristics.

The majority of the world's known and anticipated reserves of nickel ores are lateritic deposits At present, there are several different process alternatives for recovering nickel and other desired metal values from laterite ores An overview is given of the selective reduction roast/ammoniacal leach process, one of the processes in commercial operation.

Using an improved maximum bubble pressure technique, the densities of iron silicates at 1400°C have been measured under nitrogen. At the wiistite composition the density has been measured by bubble-blowing experments with both argon and nitrogen and calculated from the measured volume of a known mass of melt under nitrogen. The densities under nitrogen are significantly different from those measured under argon for melts containing less than 28 wt pct SiO2. THE constitution of liquid slags is not well understood, largely because no single property or parameter can be measured which gives conclusive evi- dence of the types and packing of the ions present. Of the many property measurements which can provide information leading to a picture of the constitution of slags, density gives the most direct evidence and has been studied extensively. The work reported here is part of a program of study of densities in multicomponent melts in which the iron oxide-silica system is the solvent. These melts are important as they are fundamental to basic steelmaking, and they allow the study of basic silicate compositions which have hitherto been largely neglected. As considerable disparity exists
