528 JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS warrant its own section. In fact the nearest that a cosmetic product approaches such importance is in the section on Soaps and Detergents. Such neglect of the industry, however, does not detract from the value of this volume to the cosmetic analyst for although the products and materials of the so-called heavy industries are well covered, there is an overlap of cosmetic materials in other products. Such treatment makes for interesting reading and may well germinate new ideas in a harassed analyst. Apart from products, the section dealing with techniques and methods provides a large field from which to reap a rich harvest. T.J. BOWDITCH.
