fields covered by " Organic Chemistry"; it does not claim
to be in any sense a complete survey. It should be of value
to honours students and to those contemplating research in
this branch of Chemistry.
General works on Organic Chemistry giving much greater
detail are:
1. Meyer and Jacobson, Lehrbuch der Organischen Chemie,
2nd Edition (Leipzig).
2. V. Grignard, Trait~ de Chimie Organiue (Paris, 1935-39).
3. H. Gilman (Editor), Organic Chemistry: an advanced
treatise (New York, 1938).
4. Heilbron, Dictionary of Organic Chemistry (London,
1934-37).
5. H. Meyer, Synthese der Kohlenstoff-Verbindungen.
6. H. Meyer, Analyse und Konstitutions Ermittlung Organi-
schen Verbindungen (Vienna, 1938).
In addition there are numerous treatises published in Eng-
lish and dealing with special subjects in this branch of
chemistry. References to many of these are given under each
chapter.
