Abstract
DR. WYCKOFF'S monograph on “The Structure of Crystals” has, in the second edition, been revised so drastically that it is in effect a new book, since, although the experience gained from the first edition has not been lost and many of the figures have been retained, the original text has been sacrificed almost in its entirety. A most praiseworthy sequel is that the main text is actually shorter by 27 pages, but the bibliography, which began with 7 entries for 1912 and included 112 entries for the year 1922, has now expanded to 367 entries for 1930 and occupies altogether nearly eighty pages in the new edition.

By Ralph W. G. Wyckoff. (American Chemical Society Monograph Series, No. 19.) Second edition. Pp. 497. (New York: The Chemical Catalog Co., Inc., 1931.) 7.50 dollars.
