Abstract
(1) THIS small book is a comprehensive review of biochemical literature during the period 1924-1931? it is a continuation of Part I. (1914-1924). An index mentions 900 authors, and more than one thousand papers must have been referred to, so that little of importance has escaped. The size of the book has imposed considerable brevity (wave mechanics are treated in a single page)? hence it is scarcely a continuation of older textbooks, as the preface seems to suggest, but rather a valuable guide to the recent literature, which every biochemist should possess. There is even a useful final section on methods. Robinson on p. 14 should be Robison, and on p. 28 we are referred to a formula on p. 00 which does not seem to have been included anywhere.
