Abstract
PROF. E. A. DOISY informs us that in the preparation of the abstract of a paper of his under this title which was used in NATURE of November 9, p. 624, a serious error was made. Prof. Carl Bachman, of the University of Pennsylvania, has made importart contributions to endocrinology, but the synthesis of equilenin was accomplished by Prof. Werner E. Bachmann, of the University of Michigan. Actually Werner E. Bachmann did not synthesize theelin, but Marker had already shown that equilenin can be converted into theelin so, consequently, it was unnecessary for Bachmann to carry his work further than the synthesis of equilenin.
