Combined Meeting with Members of South African

CHAIRMAN: It is with very great pleasure that we welcome here tonight, members of the South African Chemical Institute. It is a great pleasure to us to be associated in this way with the Durban section of the Chemical Institute. The research consciousness that we spoke about yesterday, of the Industry which we hope to develop in the future, will assist in our many probIems.and render our Association muchmore interesting to outside Chemists. Tonight, we have a paper by Mr. Beater, on the "Determination of Phosphorus by the Coeruleo Molybdate Reaction." At first, I thought this paper did not cover sufficient field for an adequate discussion, but I think if we open the discussion on Phosphorus in general, both in its relation to soils and to the Sugar Industry, we should have a very interesting discussion. I will now ask Mr. Beater to re~Q his paper.
