Abstract
PROF. H. TER MEULEN, of Delft, continues his studies on the distribution of molybdenum in the organic world, with the help of Miss H. J. Ravens-waay (K. Akad. Wet. Amsterdam, Proc., 38, i; 1935; see also NATURE, 130, 966; 1932). Finding in various samples of Dutch East Indian tobacco no less than 0.5-0.7 mgm. of molybdenum per kgm., he went on to determine the molybdenum content of the soil in a number of tobacco plantations. In some the amount was small, 0.01-0.07 mgm. per kgm.; in others it was ten times as much, 0.12-0.3 mgm.; and the latter were always the best plantations, growing the best tobacco.
