activity, devices, and techniques are oonsidered in a single assignment in Part V.--A. TTT
The final section on organic chemistry consists of three assignments. One is of a qualitative nature; another gives same representative preparations, and the third introduces some biological applications of organic chemistry. I n all assignments there are mite-in spaces; the pages are punched and perforated so that thereports may be rcmoved from the manual.

A quick glance a t the jacket and cover of this new publication suggests that it may be comparable to Delahay's recent rnonogra.ph. Not until the title page is i t revealed to be the Proceedings of the I.U.P.A.C. Symposium an Elret,rachemieal Methods of Analysis. An identical compilation in less elegant cover can, of course, be found as issue Nos. 1 and 2 of Anal. Chim. Acta (1958). As a unit, t h e papers are of extreme interest to specialists in modern electroanalyticd techniques. I n some eases, e.g., the excellent report on fused-salt chronopotentiometry by Laitinen and Gaur, some degree of background introduction is included with the experimental work. I n others, only token reports are given since the work was puhli~hedpreviously elsewhere. The inclusion of discussions a t t h e end of each paper is stimulating. In short, this edition would sppesr t o he of value only t o those who neither suhscribe to Analytiea Chimica Acta nor believe in reprint request cards. RALPH N.
