Abstract

We were surprised that James should criticize a test based on field data for not bearing some relation to physical reality, but infer that this comment relates to his later assertion that the polygonal fault systems concerned are inactive. We admit that we cannot prove the fault systems are active, but we think the available evidence strongly supports the assumption that they are.
