The section of Gmelin's ‘Handbuch’ dealing with iron (Part A) is an ambitious work to which eight specialists have promised to contribute. The 224 pages now issued include a remarkable historical bibliography covering 59 pages, with nearly 2000 references, about 120 pages on the occurrence of iron, and in conclusion some 40 pages on the preparation of pure iron in various forms.
