Experimental

Our crystals of p-aminobenzoic acid were obtained by evaporation of aequeous ethanol and methanol solu- tions. They grow in the form of long, fibrous needles similar to modification I found by KWTY; we have not obtained the other forms reported by them, nor that reported by Prasad, Kapadia & Thakar (1937) and, more recently, by All‚aume, Salas-Ciminago & Decap (1966). Since the crystals shatter when cut with a razor blade, all photographs were taken with crystals mounted along the needle (b) axis. [...] Table 2.
