Abstract
PRESENTING his first report as Government Chemist, Dr. J. J. Fox* refers to the considerable increase in volume and complexity of the work carried out in the Government Laboratory under the direction of his predecessor, Sir Robert Robertson, who held office from March 1921 until April 1936. During this period, the number of samples examined annually rose from about 300,000 to nearly 550,000, whilst the literature of chemistry has been enriched by many accounts of investigations arising out of fiscal and technical developments.
