Abstract

THE general characters of the new issue of Allen's -L work have been described in the notices of earlier volumes reviewed in this journal (NATURE, vol. Ixxxv., pp. 37, 365). In this connection therefore it is only necessary to remark that the present volume is notable among its fellows for the rather large proportion of theoretical and descriptive chemistry which it contains.
