Transmission electron microscopic studies were made of foils made from cold-rolled thorium sheet. Tangled dislocations forming a crude cell structure were observed, but no fringes characteristic of stacking faults were visible. No example of cross-slip was observed. The results suggest that thorium has an intermediate stacking fault energy. The interpretation of stacking fault probability as deduced from x-ray line shifts is discussed. (D.L.C.)
