The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of vitreous silica has been calculated in the temperature range 0.1 to 100 K using an energy-independent density of states for the tunneling states. In contrast to a recent suggestion, it appears that this model cannot explain the "plateau" seen in the thermal conductivity between 4 and 20 K.
