Sir,
An unfortunate set of circumstances prevented certain improvements from being made to my paper “Basal water and high-pressure basal ice” (Journal of Glaciology, Vol. 32, No. 112, p. 455–63) before its publication. These improvements had been suggested by one of the reviewers, who pointed out that in unpublished work Charles F. Raymond had also considered the problem addressed in my paper. The purpose of this note is to draw attention to Raymond’s work which was not possible for me to do in my published paper.
