Abstract
I AM not completely certain that Dr. Michie is discussing quite the same problem as that investigated by my co-workers and me. Although we used the term ‘copper-cellulose complex’ in some of our papers, we were consciously using the term ‘cellulose’ as defined by two of us in another connexion1 as a family of polysaccharides built into microfibrils of a substance which, by virtue of the extraction procedure by which it is obtained and of certain physical properties, is normally called cellulose; we were therefore not discussing those rare products—which we term ‘eucellulose’1—which yield glucose only on hydrolysis.
