SUMMARY

In this paper the problems of establishing the identity of a compound isolated from biological material with a steroid are outlined and discussed. The nature of evidence required for identification and some techniques for obtaining this are briefly considered. The importance of establishing the specificity of a method for the quantitative measurement of a steroid in a biological extract is emphasized.
