Abstract
I HAVE just found a short reference in the Bulletin Analytique to a preliminary note of P. G. Stevens1 on “American musk. II. A preliminary note on the scent glands of the beaver”, describing the isolation of benzene derivatives. I do not know if more detailed papers have been published since on that subject.
