JI ERE is a new revision of a text well-known for its logical ar-rangement of material, its clear, simple style, its fine illustrations, andits fair balance between botany and zoology.

4?ENERALLY revised and brought up-to-date, the 4th editionis slightly shorter than its predecessor. There are many new illus-trations, and new sets of questions have been provided at the endsof the chapters. An interesting discussion of the work of von Frischon the Language of Bees is included in the chapter on Arthropods.

- MANUAL, Laboratory Exercises in General Biology, 4thEdition, has been prepared to conform with the new edition of thetext.

ACrIONA'flONPRO9LEMS?here's help for youTHIS tireless servant in your laboratory will automatically

collect any number (up to 200) of rigidly controlled samplesof predetermined fluid volumes. Each collected sample maycomprise any number of drops from one to four hundred. Aseach separate sampling is completed, the carriage automat-ically advances to repeat identical collections consecutivelyuntil the whole fractionation has been made.

All you have to do is to set it up for the- conditions of thechosen experiment, short or long, and then leave it alone.The machine will plod along without attention hour after hour,all day (and night) long. When the job's done, it will shutitself off.

The Technicon Fraction Collector has been thoroughlytested in actual laboratory installations, where it has proveninvaluable to busy research staffs. We shall be happy to sendyou details.

Ref. Chromatography of Amino Acids on Starch Columns-W. H. Stein and S. Moore, Jrnl. Biol. Chem. 176, 337,(1948)

It

&saves time and laborrelieves laboratory staff of the fretful and time-consuming chore of fraction-cutting: releases workersfor other duties.

triples work outputyou can run it twenty-four hours a day, continuously,to triple fractionation output as compared with an 8hour laboratory day.

gives greater resolutionby collecting a large number of small fractions,rather than a few gross ones, you'll get more datafrom a given fractionation, e.g. a chromatogram, ora fractional distillation.

assures accuracybecause the possibility of human error is automati-cally ruled out. Now fraction-collection becomes astraightforward mechanical procedufe..
