This second volume of section 48 of the International Encyclopedia of Pharmacology and Therapeutics is composed of 11 chapters by eight eminent contributors. It has accomplished, very completely, in a rather limited amount of space, what it was supposed to do—namely, provide a thorough review of the synthetic progestational drugs that will serve the purpose of a wide variety of basic and applied scientists.
