Abstract
THIs is a book which can be heartily recommended to all who are concerned with the chemical examination of the materials in question. It is, in fact, in many respects the best of all those dealing with the subject. The first 124 pages deal with the analysis of pigments, white, red, blue, yellow and brown, green and black; then follow two chapters dealing respectively with the analysis of mixed paints and with the examination of varnishes. Three appendices dealing with (a) specimen analyses, (b) a method for the determination of tung oil in paints and varnishes, and (c) distempers, together with index of subjects and index of names, complete the work.

(Oil and Colour Chemistry Monographs.) By Dr. J. J. Fox and T. H. Bowles. Pp. 179. (London: Ernest Benn, Ltd., 1927.) 16s. net.
