Abstract
WE have received No. 63 (“Gums and Resins”) and No. 71 (“Foodstuffs”) of the “Colonial Reports: Miscellaneous,” comprising selected reports from the Scientific and Technical Department of the Imperial institute. They refer to products, from British possessions, examined at the institute with regard generally to the possibility of their profitable cultivation or preparation in the districts concerned. The first report is a useful little monograph on gums and resins from the commercial and analytical point of view, with particulars of the colonial specimens examined. The chief matter of scientific interest in the paper on foodstuffs, namely, a summary of the facts relating to cyanogenesis in plants, has already been published elsewhere.
