Explanation of abbreviations, arrangement, notation, etc. Bibliography. 

 Titles of papers are freely shortened, minor words ignored, common terms con- 

 veniently abbreviated or chemical symbols substituted; surnames of coUaborators 

 are connected by hyphens ; most punctuation marks are omitted — all for the sake 

 of condensation. Heavy faced Roman numerals indicate volumes; heavy faced 

 Arabic numerals designate numhers and dates of issue (slanting lines separate 

 numerals for months and days). Bibliographie items begin with em dashes. 

 When two or more papers by the same author occur together, they are duly num- 

 bered, and separated by semicolons, but follow the same em dash. Numerals 

 preceding italicized names of authors indicate sequence in the bibliography 

 (index numerals) ; numerals preceded by commas, at the ends of items, indicate 

 initial pages of the corresponding papers. 



Index (subjects). The numerals in the indices (pp. 480, 487) correspond 

 •with the numbered items in the bibliography. Pages are not indicated. Numerals 

 held in groups by hyphens are piain abbreviations in accord with the indications 

 of the first numeral of each such series (see footnote, p. 480). Abbreviations 

 of words in the index are similar to those in the bibliography. Each group of 

 index references is terminated by a semicolon ; commas mark off subdivisions 

 of a general index subject. Names of authors are not indexed. 



Journals included: Biochemische Zeitschrift (B.Z.), Zeitschrift für physi- 

 ologische Chemie (Z.p.C), Journal of Biological Chemistry (J.B.C.), Biochem- 

 ical Journal (B.J.), Biochemical Bulletin (B.B.). 



Practical use of the bibliography. The bibliography is helpful from sev- 

 eral Standpoints. Thus, if it is desired to ascertain whether the Journals included 

 in the bibliography contain any papers (during the given quarter) on a particular 

 subject, e. g., lipins, find the key word in its alphabetical place in the index and 

 turn to the items in the bibliographic sequence indicated by the index numerals 

 [in this case in the first index, page 480, 20, 64, (lipoprotein) 25, 26, 27]. The 

 abbreviated items thus identified give the names of authors and suggest thenature 

 of the corresponding papers (ten papers in the case selected for illustration), and 

 help the reader to decide whether to examine the original publications. When 

 the index gives a negative answer to an inquiry, a large mass of literature is 

 removed from further consideration. During the intervals between publication 

 of the Indexes of Journals, Zentralblätter and year books, this running bibliog- 

 raphy directs the reader to most of the main tracks through current literature 

 on the leading biochemical subjects.
