Abstract
CRYSTALS of fatty acids and similar long chain compounds are difficult to obtain in sizes large enough to give good “single crystal” X-ray photographs. Mr. W. B. Saville has succeeded in growing fairly large and thick crystals of stearic acid. They were obtained from a saturated solution of stearic acid in carbon bisulphide.
