Abstract
THE recent communication by H. M. Powell1 on new procedures for resolution of racemic substances by means of perfectly symmetrical agents prompts me to describe my own researches on the same subject. A full account of our results, including experimental details, is to be published in the Anais Soc. Biol. Pernambuco2. Although the method outlined below is very simple, apparently it has not been mentioned in the literature3.
