Abstract
1. A survey of the literature onLicania rigida has been made and the more important chemical contributions briefly reviewed. Attempt has been made to include a complete bibliography with this paper. 2. It appears from the experimental evidence obtained in this work that licanic acid possesses no apparent energy value and that under the conditions described is slightly deleterious to the growth of young rats. 3. Licanic acid has some efficiency in the animal. It is capable, in the rat, of assisting in the utilization of lactose in milk as indicated by its prophylactic action in preventing sugar loss via the urine.
