Abstract
SINCE it is no longer profitable to attempt to review progress along the whole chemical 'front' in a volume which is meant to be read, these annual reports have been deliberately restricted in scope, whereby surely their appeal has been widened. Each year a number of important topics are selected for detailed discussion, so that representative pictures of progress in various fields of investigation are presented as a kind of 'album'. Paper shortage has on this occasion prevented inclusion of sections on analytical chemistry and on radioactivity and sub-atomic phenomena ; but general and physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, crystallography, organic chemistry and biochemistry are well represented.
