Abstract
VOLUME 2 of the "Recent Progress in Hormone Research", is in effect the Proceedings of the Laurentien Hormone Conference for 1946. This meeting has become a very successful affair and, is widely attended by workers connected with this field. The Volume at present under consideration is largely concerned with the metabolism of hormones. It is divided into five parts, and each paper is followed by a summary of the discussion, with the names of those taking part and their comments given in considerable detail. As a rule, discussion reported long afterwards makes poor scientific reading ; but it must be stated that in this volume the editors have obviously gone to great trouble to cut out the monosyllabic inanities that so frequently disfigure this type of discussion.
