plates, and we made a general statement that an electric field mechanism helps align the water molecules into ice-like clusters. Thus, our analysis does not involve the difference in energy between "ice" and "water" but is rather a comparison of the interaction energy of the polar substrate crystal with an ice nucleus (partially) proton-ordered along the hexagonal axis as against a nonpolar substrate with (completely) disordered ice nucleus. Model calculations (Table 1) imply that unless polar ice is introduced at the nucleation stage, there is no advantage of D,Lalanine over the L form. With polar ice we have in effect increased the dielectric constant of the intercalated ice medium. With regard to the last point raised by Wilen, our overall aim was to demonstrate the ice nucleating ability of polar crystals by unraveling the riddle of the difference in ice nucleating behavior of the racemic and
