and Surgeons, New York) 



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

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

 conveniently abbreviated or chemical symbols substituted; surnames of col- 

 laborators are connected by hyphens; most pimctuation marks are omitted — all 

 for the sake of condensation. Heavy faced Roman numerals indicate volumes; 

 heavy faced Arabic numerals designate numbers 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 numbered, 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 index (page 565) 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. 565). 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 oflf subdivisions 

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



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

 physiologische Chemie (Z. p. C), Journal of Biological Chemistry (J. B. C), 

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



Practical use of the bibliography. The bibliography is helpful from 

 several 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 (i. e., in this case, 35, 50, 56, 415). The abbreviated items thus 

 identified give the names of authors and suggest the nature of the correspond- 

 ing papers (four 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
