made use of for the examination of the purity of commer-
cial quinine, this is not found to be very effective. The

proportion between quinine and cinchonidine in the solu-

tion which is obtained according to tho pharmaeopceial

method is not the same as that in the sample itself. It
contains comparatively more cinchonidine, as owing to the

influence of the air more of the mixed crystals has changed

into a mixture of quinine and cinchonidine sulphate, and

in this form the latter is more easily soluble than as mixed

Acrystals. large portion of the cinchonidine sulphate,

however, does not pass into the solution when working

under the conditions indicated in the Pharmacopoeia.

About, 8.5 per cent, of the salt' is thus withdrawn from the

reaction, and this renders the test less sensitive. This fact

would not make the reaction unfit for use, however, but

as the balance between the solution and the crystals is not
stable, the reaction is so much more liable to change
through the influence of different circumstances. The test

must' be rejected as a. criterion for the purity of quinine
sulphate. According to Mr. Polak, the oolarimelricmethod

is the best for judging the purity of the commercial salt.

He remarks, however, that the specific rotation of mixtures

of the sulphates is not exactly an additive property,

although it lends itself fairly well for a determination of

the composition of these mixtures, the sensitiveness being

limited to about 5 per cent, of cinchonidine sulphate.

~Mr. P. W. Squire, F.C.S., F.L.S.. informs us that' new
editions of both Squire's "Pocket Companion" and
Squire's " Companion to the British Pharmacopoeia " are
in course of preparation. The smaller book (the " Pocket

Companion ") contains such items of information as are of

special interest to prescribers and dispensers ; it will be

brought into conformity with the British Pharmacopoeia,

1914, and will indicate the changes which have taken place

in the preparations. The chemical tests are not dealt
with. It is now in the press, and it is expected to be

ready some time in January. The larger volume, Squire's
" Companion to the British Pharmacopoeia," covers a

much wider field, and, although the method of revising it

is continuous and systematic, and greatly simplifies the
labour of dealing with the new issue of the official volume,
there are still many new developments which require

mature consideration before criticism can be included in a

book of such a standard nature. Besides the changes_ con-

sequent on the new official publication, the "Companion"

will contain much new matter, the result of investigations

carried out in the author's laboratories during the past six

years. It' is anticipated that the book will be ready later

in the year.
