Abstract
THE present section of this work deals with animal and plant physiology and biochemistry, and consists of tables extracted from papers published during the years 1917–1922, arranged under appropriate headings. Very varied information may be found within its pages. Thus weight-relationships, the chemical composition of organisms and their organs and tissue fluids, and the toxicities of drugs are all included. The greater part deals with plant physiology and chemistry, but data on enzymes and the biochemistry of vegetable products are frequently of use to animal physiologists. The data are given in French, but the table of contents is also given in English, German, and Italian. They are compiled from a selected list of about sixty different journals. The work should be useful for quick reference on any particular subject.
