Abstract
IT would appear that these two volumes complete the author‘s survey of organic substances used in analysis. Volume 3 deals with heterocyclic nitrogen compounds, oxymes and acidic imino compounds, and volume 4 with a number of groups of compounds, including alkaloids, other natural substances and various classes of dyes. Among the more important sections in volume 3 are extensive reviews of the uses of dimethylglyoxime (60 pages), cupferron (41 pages), and dithizone (83 pages), with detailed discussions of the conditions for their use and the factors determining the stability of the complexes formed with metals. The bibliographies in these three sections alone contain some 670 references to the literature.
