Abstract
I POINTED out some time ago,1 that despite Pasteur's original statement, or at all events, the text-book version of it, optical enantiomers were possibly not completely identical. I followed this up with an investigation of the rotatory powers of the mandelic acids,2 in which at least preliminary evidence of non-identity was obtained. I am about to publish an account of a lengthy investigation of the camphoric acids, in which differences of the same kind have been observed.
