This unique and masterly treatise presents in easily accessible form a vast amount of essential data on the constitution, physical constants, structures, and functions of all the known pigments and related substances. Many of these, such as vitamins A and K, the carotenoids, anthracenes, chlorophyll, riboflavin, hemin, and the flavones are in the forefront of modern biological research. The basic information, extensively documented, which is provided in this volume will therefore be of t h e greatest interest to bio-chemists, dye technologists, and students of organic structure. Fully discussed also, are such well-known coloring matters as indigo, alizarin, and t h e anthocyanins, and also t h e insect dyes and the pigments of fungi, molds, rare woods, and other materials. . . .
