represents the largest and most comprehensive collection of critical review articles yet published in AXALYTICAL CHEMISTRY’S annual series. The trend for increased coverage has continued since rthe inception of the reviews in 1949. By 1953 the extent of coverage was large enough to require division into two parts, to cover fundamental developments and applications in alternate years. Once again the scientific community is indebted to the authors for the painstaking work that has gone into the preparation of these review articles. This year makes the last review on Analytical Distillation for reasons that are very well explained by Frederick E. Williams in his review. Also this year, several of the reviews have been presented in a different fashioni.e., Nucleonics and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance. The editors invite your comments on these changes. The Laboratory Guide t o Instruments, Equipment, and Research Chemicals which used to be issued as a portion of the April Review issue will appear again this year as a separate issue in July.
