Abstract
THE most recent issue of this journal (3, No. 1, November 1936. A. L. Curtis, Westmoor Laboratory, P.O. Box 61, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, price 3s. 6d.) has been considerably enlarged and contains articles covering a wide range of subjects. Topics of economic importance dealt with in this number include nickel, silica sand as a basis for phosphate deficiency tests on lettuce, minerals of Brazil, titanium oxide in industry, boron, soils, industrial water supply, barytes in Greece, mining resources in Tanganyika, etc. The articles are written by authors actually engaged in research on the subject, thus making them authoritative. A contribution by A. L. Curtis on the history and activities of the Fuel Research Station at Greenwich makes interesting reading. The journal is attractively produced, and is an excellent source of information, especially for mineralogists, chemical engineers and other men of science and technology concerned particularly with the mineral resources of the British Empire.
