Abstract
IN view of the numerous and important researches which have been carried out in the infra-red region of the spectrum, it might appear surprising that until now there should have been no book in English dealing exclusively with this branch of spectroscopy. The methods employed have been most ingenious and diverse, and the results will assuredly contribute as much to the solution of molecular problems as photographic spectroscopy has contributed to those of atomic structure. Yet the experimental difficulties have so greatly restricted work in this field that there has been little demand for a book of this kind. Now that the significance of such researches is being realised, whilst at the same time standard methods have been to some extent developed, it is most desirable that the knowledge which has been acquired with so much labour and difficulty should be made more easily accessible to the student and prospective worker in this field.
