Abstract
We would like to call attention to a point of considerable practical importance which is neglected in this interesting and ingenious paper on the computation of the second derivative. This is the fact that gravity field data inevitably contain errors so that the second derivative values computed by coefficients from this gravity data also will contain errors, which may be of such magnitude as to mask the real effects caused by geologic structure, the finding of which was the purpose of the gravity survey.
