We believe that the different density and isospin dependence [5] of the spin[minus]orbit term is responsible for differences in shell effects found in the RMF theory as compared to the Skyrme approach. The importance of the spin[minus]orbit contribution in the RMF theory has been underlined in the successful description [6] of anomalous isotope shifts in Pb nuclei in the RMF theory as against the Skyrme theory which is unable to do so.
