    facts which have thus been elicited respecting the nature of the compounds in question, it is not deemed desirable that distinctive names should be perpetuated for them, but that they should receive some collective designation, and it is therefore proposed that they be termed ■phytosterolins. The future examination of compounds of this type, when available in sufficient amounts, would appear to be most suitably directed to the characterisation of the phytosterols which they yield on hydrolysis, and also, when possible, to that of the sugar produced. It may finally be noted that some recent experiments, conducted by one of us, have led to tne synthesis of sitosterol-cf-glucoside, which has been found to possess properties agreeing with those of the substance designated as ipuranol. The details of these experiments will form the subject of a further communication. The Wellcome Chemical Research Laboratories, London, E.C. B.
