Abstract
THE quantitative studies of Dallemagne and Mélon1 on the optical properties of ox bone (already described in part in Nature2), and their deductions concerning the relations between the organic and the inorganic fractions of the bone, have led me to a series of analogous, independent researches on human bone.
