THE VALUE OP THE WORK OP THE RESEARCH LABORATORY. The work of the Research Laboratory in Animal Nutrition has received much notice from investigators the world over, and the results obtained have been widely and frequently quoted. That this is true may be seen from the following partial list of quotations. Professor Lafayette B. Mendel, of Yale University in Science of April 9, 1909, says: "The evidence now seems conclusive that creatinine is not present performed in the muscular tissues (Grindley and Woods;, Mellandy, 1909; Mendel and Leavenworth). This same author also refers to two publications from our Research Laboratory as follows: Emmett and Grindley, Jour. Biol. Chem., 1907, Vol. 3, p. 491; Grindley and Woods, Jour. Biol. Chem., 1907, Vol. 2, p 309. > Dr. P. C. Cook, of the Laboratory of Animal Physiology, Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, in the Journal of Biol. Chem., Vol. 6, p. XXIV, refers to the method of Grindley and Woods used for the determination of creatine and creatinine in meat extracts. W. D. Richardson and Erwin Scherubel in the Jour. Chem. Soc, Vol. 30, p. 1526, say: "In general the methods of Konig, of Grindley, of Winton, of Bigelow and Cook were freely used and in some instances modified in the interest of simplicity, speed, and accuracy. In particular the cold water extract of Grindley," etc., etc. These authors quote six papers published from this Research Laboratory of Animal Nutrition. Drs. W. D. Bigelow and P. C. Cook in Bulletin 114, p. 40, Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, quote as follows: "Grindley and Woods have determined separately the kreatin and kreatinine content of several extracts of meat and found both present in varying amounts. It is necessary, therefore, to determine these two bodies separately when a careful study of the nitrogenous bodies o4f meat extract is made. Johh Phillip Street, Report of the Conn. Agric. Ex. Station, Pood Products, 1908, quotes the work of the Research Laboratory as follows: "The characteristic salts of true meat extracts are potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and potassium monohydrogen phosphate, the former predominating, Trowbridge and Grindley Journ. Amer. Chem. Soc, 1906, 28, p. 471. "As already stated, the chief acid phosphates of meat are potassium dihdrogen and potassium monohydrogen phosphate. The former is acid to phenolphthalein, while the latter is neutral to this Indicator, Trowbridge and Grindley, Jour. Amer. Chem. Soc, 1906, 28, p. 471." "Trowbridge and Grindley have shown that all the proteins thus far obtained from flesh react acid to phenolphthalein. The determination of the true acidity of a meat extract is therefore a matter of much difficulty." "Emmett and Grindley, in their extended study of the phosphorus content of flesh, found that phosphorus
