Not illustrated. 1912 Excerpt: ...the modified cellulose; but the'process of mercerisation is a joint reaction of combination with alkali and water, the alkali-cellulose having a very high hydration capacity. The hydrates of cellulose are the most widely distributed of 'natural' substances, and upon this material foundation the activities of the plant world depend in a very important sense.

We prefer to adapt our terminology to the facts of widest significance, because we hold that the significance of these facts must be very much deeper than the science and terminology of to-day which confessedly fails' to give any adequate account of these forms of matter. CELLULOSE AND FORMIC ACID. The interaction of cellulose and formic acid, as a theoretical problem, suggest many complicating factors arising out of their individual characteristics. These have been rather overlooked in these earlier stages of development of a new group of derivatives which also offer many features of technical interest. Having investigated ourselves certain of these products, we were impressed with the alternative view, that these points of technical interest were rather overshadowed by the purely scientific interest of the facts disclosed by our investigations, even though only of a superficial and preliminary order. An account of these preliminary studies is embodied in a communication which being mainly a record of experimental numbers we reproduce in extenso. THE INTERACTION OF FORMIC ACID AND C. F. Cross and E. J. Bevan ('Chem. Soc. J., ' 1911, 99, 1450).
