Abstract
A new strategy for ascertaining the pigment composition of photosynthe tic specimens is proposed, and its advantages pointed out; it entails recording, on the same machine, the absorption spectrum of the pigment extract as well as the spectra of the cognate chromophores, and in us ing the latter for piecemeal reconstruction of the former.
