Obstet. 66, 289, see esp. p . 293 (1907))and many others were led astray because they had not kept nitrogen balances on their pregnancy cases. I they had done so, it would have been f apparent that the lowest percentage of urea nitrogen occurs simultaneously with greatest nitrogen retention by the product of conception. It took a novice to furnish the explanation of the so-called “functional derangement.” JOHN MURLIN, R. PH.D.

This factor which C. P. Kimball and J. R. Murlin called “glucagon” ( J . Biol. Chem. 68, 337 (1923)) recently has been separated from insulin by selective precipitation, and isolated in crystalline form (A. Staub, L. Sinn,
