Abstract
WE have recently developed a new method of resolving a racemic compound by selective adsorption, and the results we have obtained, already published in the Praktika of the Academy of Athens (April 1938), agree in the main with similar experiments of G. M. Henderson and Dr. H. Gordon Rule1.
