We thank Makhluf J. Haddadin and Musa Z. Nazer for careful reading of the
page proof.
The expense of preparing the many Xerox copies of manuscript that went out
for prepublication review was defrayed by a grant from Research Corporation.
New biographies are included in both Parts I and II. An asterisk is appended
to the first entry in the book of the name of a chemist whose biography appears in
Advanced Organic Chemistry.
The author index provides a guide to biographies
