 mans, Green and Co., 1913. 



Excellent discussion of the chemistry and biological significance of many 

 of the most important plant constituents. Besides extended treatment of carbo- 

 hydrates, lipins and proteins, chapters are devoted respectively to glucosides, 

 tannins, pigments, nitrogenous bases (alkaloids, ptomaines, purins), colloids and 

 enzymes. Methods of preparation, detection and quantitative determination are 

 numerous and well described. Good subject index. The most valuable recent 

 contribution of its kind to phyto-chemistry. Strongly recommended to biological 

 chemists generally — to botanists in particular. Gies.
