INA review of fluorescent analysis as applied to inorganic material appearing in this journal in 1939 (117), several books devoted to this subject were mentioned. Some of these have been revised and serve as excellent references. Danckwortt's book (20) which is specifically concerned with analysis in ultraviolet light, was revised in 1940 and has appeared in this country in lithoprinted form. This contains 1583 references.Feigl (29) gives many fluorometric applications for organic as well as inorganic compounds. Radley and Grant (92) also have an enlarged third edition; Chapter 8 which is on inorganic analysis has 123 references. Texts dealing with colorimetric analysis almost invariably give a discussion of fluorometric techniques. Sandell (100) gives methods for several elements and the Snells (107) in Chapter 15 of their third edition cover some general principles and apparatus for fluorescent analysis. Because of the listing of thq fluorescent color of many substancesfor example, 2896 organic compounds-the analyst will be interested in DeMent's book ( 22); how'ever, the review' by Fonda (33) should be read in connection with this. From a theoretical standpoint the Cornell symposium papers on solid luminescent materials edited by Fonda and Seitz (84), and the paper by Kasha (55) are of interest.
