Etch figure studies especially have not always led to conclusions that were in agreement with certain properties known to characterize some crystals. It is significant, however, that inconsistencies of this sort have arisen in some cases because of insufficient data or misinterpretation of the evidence at hand. In recent years, some attention has been given to the methods of crystal etching involving the use of optically active solvents, and, although published accounts of such investigations are scarce, the etch figure data thus far considered seem to have an important bearing on the problem of dual symmetry of crystals.
