    Water Solble Indicatorsfor pH DeterminationsThe indicators listed below are now available as

    the sodium salts and are designated W.S. (watersoluble). The older technique of using these indi-cators involved the use of insoluble indicators (freeacid compounds) and effecting solution by the ad-dition of definite amounts of standard sodium hy-droxide solution. The use of the water solubleindicator eliminates the difficulties encountered inthe older procedure. The label upon the packagecarries information regarding the amount of theindicator to be used to prepare a solution orre-sponding to a 0.04% or 0.02% solution of therespective acid indicator.

    Laboratory Explorationsin General Zoology

    Revised EditionBy Karl A. Stiles

    This revision of a popular manual follows the same general plan of the first edition,with some changes in the order of the material and several new additions. Thebook has been revised throughout, now offering a wider range of material butretaining the flexibility of the first edition. Published June 28. $3.25

    General Chemistry-A Systematic ApproachBy Sisler, VanderWerf and Davidson

    A text for general chemistry courses, this new book emphasizes the modern princi-ples of atomic structure and the nature. of the chemical bond. An abundance ofdescriptive, factual material is provided, organized in terms of the theoreticalprinciples involved. Designed for use in all but the most elementary freshmanchemistry courses, it is particularly well adapted for chemistry majors, engineers,pre-medical, pre-pharmacal. and other technical students. To be published inSeptekmber. $5.00 (probable)

    College BotanyBy Hylander and Stanley

    This new text is designed for a full-year course in general botany. Part I dis-cusses the individual plant and its life problems, using a woody green plant tointroduce the student to the basic facts of plant morphology, histology, and-cIstructure and function; Part II deals with plants as groups in our large vegeta-tion complex. To be published in 4ugust. $6.00 (probable)

    The Supersensitivity of Denervated StructuresExperimental Biology Monographs By Cannon and RosenbluethThis monograph is an examination of the data which lead to the inference thatdirectly or remotely denervated structures become sensitive to the excitatory aswell as to the inhibitory actions of sundry chemical substances and of impingingnerve impulses. Many physiological and clinical implications of the law are dis-cussed. Published June 28. $5.50

    [-THE RICKETTSIAL DISEASES OF MAN IThis symposium volume is a comprehensive survey of the general field of Riekettsial

    diseases in man. Among the contributors appear the names of many of the foremostAmerican authorities on this important and relatively new field of medicine.

    The first group of papers includes discussions of the taxonomy, biology, isolation, andidentification of vectors, and reservoirs of infection of the Rickettsial diseases of man.The second group of papers is devoted to discussions of serological reactions, the Weil-Felix reaction, the complement-fixation and agglutination reactions, and the preparationand standardization of Rickettla vaccines. The final group of papers treats- ofinsecticides, methods of their application, and mite controls.

    Many of the 27 contributors to this volume during World War II were on the battlefronts in Africa, Italy, France and Germany, protecting our troops and the local popu-lations wherever Rickettsial diseases prevailed. Rarely, if ever, have the authors of amedical book had so wide and so successful practical experience in the very subjects onwhich they have written.
