The Semi-annval Report of Schimmel 

 and Company (Leipsic and New York), 

 though primarily a business document, 

 furnishes much information about the 

 industries in essential oils and fine chem- 

 icals, and concerning progress in the 



departments of chemical science relat- 

 ing to these. The report for October, 

 1898, speaks of much research and many 

 valuable studies as having been carried 

 on during the preceding six months in 

 the domain of the essential oils and their 

 constiUition, and of ample material for 

 scientific reports as having been gath- 

 ered.
