eases indicate that there is a marked difference
in the number and size of the protein molecules
of the two bloods. This fact may have important
clinical applications. These questions will be
studied at the Lister Institute in London, where
a Svedberg centrifuge has been built under partial
support of the medical sciences division of
The Rockefeller Foundation.
The sum of $55,000, or as much thereof as
may be necessary to purchase a maximum of
185,000 Swedish crowns, has been appropriated
to the University of Uppsala, Sweden, for support
of the research of Professor Svedberg
on the physical-chemical properties of proteins
and other heavy molecules during the five-year
period January 1,1936, to December 31,1940, the
amount to be available annually not to exceed
37,000 Swedish crowns.

The sum of $5,800 has been appropriated to
the Technical Institute, Graz, for rese§rch
in biophysical chemistry at the Physical Institute
under the direction of Professor F. Kohlrausch
during the two-year period beginning
January 1, 1936. When the molecules of a substance
are illumined by an intense beam of light
they emit, at right angles to the incident beam, a
