Abstract
THE second volume of this important work follows the general plan already described in NATURE (November 17, 1934, p. 751). The range of the selected compounds has been extended, particularly in the direction of biochemistry, and somewhat more space has been allocated to the data and literature references: consequently, the second volume exceeds the first by some 140 pages. The literature has been surveyed up to the end of 1934, and in some instances the references extend into 1935. This volume is particularly useful, since it includes the entries under “methyl” (229 pp.) and “hydroxy” (133 pp.); these, together with “iso” (70 pp.) and “ethyl” (40 pp.), constitute, in fact, slightly more than half the volume.
