Abstract
RECENTLY Mr. W. K. Slater has prepared glycogen in a high degree of purity, and has commented on the difficulty of obtaining the polysaccharide in an anhydrous form (J.

This observation may be of significance in connexion with the molecular weight of the higher polysaccharides for a reason which I have not hitherto seen discussed, although it is probably familiar to some of your readers.
