Abstract
THE general character of the contents of these excellent volumes was described in the review of the 1916 issue published in NATURE for June 15 last (vol. xcvii., p. 320). In the present edition, in addition to general revision, the sections on gas analysis, sulphuric acid, oils and fats, fuels and illuminants, and photography have been thoroughly revised; and that on textile fibres has been rewritten. New sections have been added on the analysis of essential oils, the efficiency of boiler plant, cement, and paints and pigments. It is hoped in next year's issue. of the Year Book to include articles on ceramics, lubricants, and metallurgy and metallography, which had unavoidably to be held over this year.
