Abstract
EACH year, when new volumes in these two series of annual reports on the progress of pure and applied chemistry are published, we realize that their appearance is an occasion of considerable moment; to chemists because they provide an opportunity for appreciating the significance of contemporary advances in fields abutting on those already under the worker's constant survey, and to others of scientific interests because they offer brief but authoritative reviews of very many important subjects now engaging the attention of researchers in chemistry and its intimately related sciences.
