✦ Synopsis

Duck's recent finding (R. W. Duck, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 1994, 19, 525-529) that QDa and Md parameters derived from pipette and SediGraph analysis of sediments from Loch Tummel returned similar results can be interpreted in two ways. The observed consistency could result from (i) a general agreement between the methods (as is suggested by Duck) or (ii) from the use of inappropriate parameters (Md and QDa) to describe polymodal distributions.

Although it may be inappropriate to apply the QDa-Md method to grain-size distribution data of bimodal and polymodal sediments, the aim of the study (R. W. Duck, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 1994,19,525-529) was not to defend this methodology. It was to determine whether or not the modern
