budget ofCCl. if the yield from •Cl 4 were as high •s 10% (see Table 2 Yung et al., 1975). Their suggestion complements the discussion presented in our earlier paper, though definite conclusions are still premature. We note that Mathias et al. (1974) did not find any CCl 4 in the oxidation of C2Cl 4. We were unaware of the remarks presented at the conference in Silver Spring in November 1974. We did not, and have not, had access to the letter by Singh et al. which is scheduled, we note, to appear in Env. Letters. Our primary point, that bleaching of paper pulp may provide a significant source of atmospheric halocarbons, is unaffected by the remarks presented above.
