398 JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS polarography, nuclear magnetic res- onance, Raman spectroscopy, gas chromatography, luminescence spec- trophotometry, spectropolarimetry, etc. In an excellent introductory article, Dr. Ralph M/iller may have indicated its future course •vhen he says, "An astonishingly small number of people are engaged in instrumenta{ion. There are tens of thousands of users of instrumentation." It appears that the present emphasis of the journal is to the former group it may have to aim at the latter group to be success- ful. And don't we have too many journals in this field already? I think perhaps we do! However, it would do well for the researcher in instrumentation to look dosely at Chemical Instrumentation. If the quality of succeeding numbers is equal to that of this first issue, this may be the journal, albeit expensive, he should choose over others--R. F. ScH•JBm•T--The Toni Co.
