Abstract
THE second volume of Bomskov's work on the methods used in research on hormones deals with the sex glands and the anterior lobe of the pituitary. A third volume dealing with the posterior lobe of the pituitary, the anti-pernicious anæmia factor and vasodilator substances is in preparation. This second volume has been produced in a year and a half, and it is easy to believe the author when he says in his preface that it has meant a great sacrifice of personal freedom. The book sets out to describe all the surgical, histological, biological and chemical methods used in the study of hormones. The details are usually given in the form of a direct translation from the original description, so that it is often unnecessary to refer to the original work. There are about 3,000 references, 274 beautifully reproduced figures and 276 tables.
