Abstract
ONCE again there has been demonstrated in striking fashion the impetus which organic chemistry gains from biology, and how a field of organic research, formerly of purely academic interest, enters on a fresh phase of development in virtue of a new correlation with biological problems. The field in question is that of the sterols and the poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
