The diffuse scattering of X-rays by crystals of NaClO3 has been studied and the form of the isodiffusion surfaces associated with the reciprocal lattice points {200} and {120} has been determined. The study is of special interest in the case of NaClO3 on account of the symmetry and structure of this substance (Zachariasen, 1929).
