Abstract
RECENTLY Mr. W. K. Slater has prepared glycogen in a high degree of purity, and has commented on the difficulty of obtaining the polysaccharide in an anhydrous form (J. Physiol. 58, 163, 1923; Biochem. J., 18, 621, 1924). This observation may be of significance in connexion with the molecular weight of the higher polysaccharides for a reason which I have not hitherto seen discussed, although it is probably familiar to some of your readers.
