✦ Synopsis
A rapid method for the analysis of pyrethrum extract and pyrethrum formulations containing synergists and emulsifying agents has been developed. The pyrethrins are converted into their 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones and, wwithout chromatography, the optical density at 377 mp determined. The optical density is converted into pyrethrin concentration by using the value E = 28,000 for the molecular extinction coefficient of the pyrethrin dinitrophenylhydrazones.
' Allethrin 90% ' analysed at 87.5%. The sample was distilled and the middle fraction b.p. 16z0j6p collected ; this analysed at 94.9% allethrin by the rapid D.N.P. method.

A sensitive molecular absorption spectrophotometric (MAS) method has been developed for the estimation of silicon in iron and steel samples. The method is based on the typical property of silicon to form molybdosilicic acid in the acid medium in which 1 silicon atom binds 12 molybdenum atoms. The mo
