The recent synthesis of a true glucose (“Acrose”) by Fischer and Tafel, and additions to our knowledge of the structure of dextrose and kevulose by Kiliani, &c., seem to render desirable fresh experiments on the synthetical production of carbohydrate in green plants from sources other than CO3 (i. e ., from organic compounds in which C is already combined with H and O). Papers have been published by A. Meyer and E. Laurent* dealing with this question.
