Abstract
THE Society of Biological Chemists, India, now in its third year, publishes annually “Biochemical and Allied Research in India”; the number for 1932 has recently been issued. This publication takes the form of a review of research work published during the year, by Indians and other workers in that country, usually in Indian journals. The subject matter is dealt with under the following headings,;enzymes, agricultural chemistry, food and nutrition of farm animals, dairy chemistry, general microbiology, vegetable physiology, phytopathology, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, nutrition and vitamins, and the chemistry of sanitation with special reference to sewage and to water. The journal is edited for the Society by a committee and the names of the reviewers are appended at the end of each section. Upwards of three hundred papers are referred to, indicating the vitality of research into biochemical problems in India. Although many of the results obtained are chiefly applicable to conditions in that country, much of the work is of a wider interest and must be taken into consideration by workers on similar problems in other parts of the world. This journal forms a ready means of keeping in touch with biochemical research in India.
