A new method of computing residual anomalies for gravity prospecting data from a Bouguer gravity map has been evolved. In arriving at the proposed method, we have at first examined the behavior of the regional gravity field from an analytical point of view. With the concepts acquired therefrom in mind, we consider the case of square grids with such separation of stations that in an elementary area, formed by joining the four nearest stations around a central station, the regional field may be represented by a linear function of the Cartesian coordinates in the horizontal surface of observation. Making use of the formal relationship between the residual, regional, and Bouguer gravity values, we have been able to formulate in this case a set of simultaneous linear equations—one for each station of observation—with the residual values at the grid corners as the unknowns in the left hand sides of these equations and some linear function of the Bouger values at the grid corners as the known quantities in the right hand sides. With some plausible estimates of the residual values at the stations on the boundaries at hand, these equations can be solved efficiently with the aid of the relaxation technique as has been exemplified in the cases of theoretical model as well as field data.

Dr. M. K. Paul suggests that further investigation of this method may be necessary. The theoretical basis for this method is that [Formula: see text] i.e., that the regional gravity field obeys Laplace’s equation in two dimensions over the plane of observation.

On page 711 the author, after reference to previous users of the least‐squares method for estimating residuals in a Bouguer gravity map, states, “All of them have used the method for estimating the residual field over the entire area under consideration, while in this case the method will be applied to obtain the same on the boundaries only.” He then proceeds to compute residuals on the boundaries from the second degree polynomial [Formula: see text], (10) representing the regional field over the entire region. However, by this procedure the residuals on the boundaries are influenced by all the gravity observations inside the region, as implied by equation (16) where the vector A is a function of the Bouguer map values over the whole area. In fact, equation (12) could be solved for the vector b, and the condition [Formula: see text] arising from [Formula: see text] (A) could be introduced. The following expression for the regional over the entire area results: [Formula: see text], and there is no need for additional computations by the relaxation technique described.

ABSTRACT A new method for the measurement of total serum thyroxine (T4) by saturation analysis is presented along with technical details. Its main advantage over previously published methods is its sensitivity of 0.3 picomoles T4 (corresponding to 0.23 ng T4 or 152 pg iodine). It thus allows the measurement of serum thyroxine in very small volumes of human serum (7 μl) and, for the first time, in mouse serum. The use of Sephadex to extract thyroxine from the plasma gives more reproducible results and avoids the need to evaporate the extract to dryness, as in current methods. A high speed digital computer was used for handling data processing. A new statistical algorithm was built into a code called REGSAT which is extensively described. This procedure allowed unskewed predictions of thyroxine levels in the samples and an estimate of the standard curves resolving power.

Dr. M. K. Paul has presented a very interesting method of separating the residual and regional fields from a Bouguer gravity map. In essence, his method is the estimation of the residual field along a closed curve enclosing, but away from, the anomaly by the usual least‐squares technique. Next he extrapolates the residual field on the boundary curve into the anomaly region by a relaxation technique.
