ABSTRACT DR. ELSNER has undertaken the formidable task of reviewing the literature on carbohydrates to the end of 1933, and compressing the material into one volume. This has involved the


curtailment or omission of many important topics, such as the glycosides, the biochemical transformations of sugars and technical processes, all ox which have been dealt with by experts in


recent monographs. The number of compounds described is so great that relatively little space has been available for the critical examination of theories. Nevertheless, properties or


reactions which are known to be of fundamental importance in the elucidation of molecular structure have been discussed in considerable detail, and the text has been amply supported by


references to original papers at the foot of each page. Tollens—Elsnes Kurzes Handbuch der Kohlenhydrate. Vierte, völlig neubearbeitete Auflage, von Dr. Horst Elsner. Pp. xxii + 627.
