Abstract
DURING recent years X-ray analysis has been successfully applied to the investigation of long-chain organic compounds. The method seems especially adapted to the study of polymorphism of such substances (Piper, Malkin, and Austin, Jour. Chem. Soc., 1926; 2310. G. M. de Boer, NATURE, Jan. 8, 1927. J. Thibaud, C.R., 184, 24, 96; 1927).
