Absorption Spectra of d-2-Nitro-octane and the Sodium Salt of d-2-Nitro-octane.-The absorption spectra (Plate I) were determined in a K and E color analyzer which permitted measurements in the visible range only. A solution of 0.5191 g. of d-2-nitrooctane in 20 cc. of absolute alcohol was used for obtaining curve (A) and a sample of 0.5041 g. of 2-nitro-octane which was treated with one equivalent of sodium ethylate solution and diluted to 20 cc. was used to obtain curve (B). Summary 1. The preparation of (d) and (/) 2-nitro-octanes is described. 2. The sodium and potassium salts of d-2-nitro-octane were found to be optically active to the same extent.3. The d-2-nitro-octane regenerated from the sodium salt at -10°was optically active to the extent of 24.12% of the original

A powerful diabetogenic factor has been found in aqueous extracts of the eyestalks of crustaceans. The activity of the extracts is interspecific, heat stable, and effective over a wide dilution range. The sinus gland of Hanstro'm appears to contain most of the diabetogenic factor.
