Abstract
IT is fifteen years since the first edition of this work was published and the text has required drastic revision. The complete work will consist of two volumes, each divided into three parts of about 200 pages. The present part contains accounts of the chemistry of the proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and also of the blood and lymph. The treatment of the more purely chemical side of materials of physiological significance appears full, yet concise and up-to-date. The chapter on blood serum is considerably condensed, especially on the subject of the hydrogen ion concentration, but fuller treatment can, of course, be obtained from special monographs. The account of the gases of the blood is reserved for a later part. There are copious references to the literature, structural formuLx are given in detail, and the paper and printing are of the best. Altogether the volume is a most useful work on this branch of chemistry.
