The original chapter on

the colon-typhoid-dysentery group has been completely re-written into four new chapters. The chapters on classification,morphology, chemistry, and metabolism of bacteria and thechapters on immunology and the viruses have been rewrittenand brought up to date.

Proper instrumentation is essential for efficient laboratory performan'ce.Yet only recently microscopes were so'cosdy thatmany laboratories operating on a restricted budgetwere forced to content themselves with outmoded in-su-nments of llimited effectiveness. Furthermore, themore speciafized types of microscopes were rarely tobe found in the average laboratory, and problems towhich they could contribute effectively had to be ap-proached by indirect and less efficient methods.The low cost of UNITRON MICROSCOPES has madeit--possible for even the laboratory, with I"mited re-

sources to- have t its disposal modern microscopes ofunsurpassed precision. Large organizations as weB as

small have been quick to recognize the outstandingvalue of UNITRON MICROSCOPES as well as theirunexceBed optical and mecham'eal performance. Wellknown usen include leading imniversities, industrialfirms, and research laboratories such as:

Paper Chromatography and Paper ElectrophoresisA Laboratory Manual

BY R. J. BLOCK, E. L DURRUM, AND GUNTER ZWEIG

Dec. 1954, about 400 pp., illus., approx. $7.00Paper chromatography and paper electrophoresis, two analytical tools of the research scientist, haveearned increasingly widespread recognition during the last decade. Qualitative and quantitative analy-ses of complex mixtures have been greatly facilitated by development of these methods.

The growing acceptance of these methods has brought about a corresponding increase in theliterature, and the time is therefore opportune to review paper chromatography and paper electro-phoresis in order to re-evaluate established techniques and to describe new methods and applicationsfor a variety of substances.

Detailed procedures are given for solvent development of paper chromatogram, application ofsample to chromatogram and electrophoresis strip, staining and spraying techniques, quantitative es-timation in chromatography and electrophoresis. Applications include the following classes of -com-pounds: amino acids, purines, pyrimidines, proteins, nucleic acids, sugars, organic acids, steroids,antibiotics, vitamins, porphyrins, tannins, drugs, and insecticides. A bibliography and index enhancethe usefulness of the new book.

Isotopic Gas Analysis for BiochemistsBY R. F. GLASCOCK

Oct. 1954, 247 pp., illus., $5.80The radioisotopes of carbon and hydrogen have assumed increasing importance as tools in biochemi-cal and physiological research. For many problems in these fields it is advantageous to assay theisotopes in the gas phase. This manual describes in detail- the various methods of assay. Completedetails of the design and operation of the necessary equipment are also given.

Biological Applications of Freezing and DryingEDITED BY R. J. C. HARRIS

Institute of Cancer Research, London1954, 415 pp., illus., $10.00

At the present time freeze-drying is widely used for the,preservation,- not only. of blood products andantibiotics, but also of food, including human milk; bacteria,.and bacterial and tissue cltulemedia;viruses; and in the preparation and preservation of tissues for morphological and histochemical studies,and of specimens for electron microscopy.

The aim of this book is to provide for the first time a comprehensive and authoritative treatiseon these aspects of freezing and freeze-drying. It will serve as a work of reference for all those engagedwith the techniques and as a guide to those who have yet to employ them.
