@@ -31,12 +31,15 @@ There are two ways to use Neography:
 
 A thin ruby wrapper Neography::Rest which tries to mirror the Neo4j Rest API and returns JSON or Nil:
 
-  Neography::Rest.get_root                                   # Get the root node
-  Neography::Rest.create_node                                # Create an empty node
-  Neography::Rest.create_node("age" => 31, "name" => "Max")  # Create a node with some properties
-  Neography::Rest.get_node(id)                               # Get a node and its properties
-  Neography::Rest.set_node_properties(id, {"weight" => 200}) # Set a node's properties
-  Neography::Rest.get_node_properties(id)                    # Get just the properties
+  Neography::Rest.get_root                                     # Get the root node
+  Neography::Rest.create_node                                  # Create an empty node

+  Neography::Rest.get_node(id)                                 # Get a node and its properties
+  Neography::Rest.set_node_properties(id, {"weight" => 200})   # Set a node's properties
+  Neography::Rest.get_node_properties(id)                      # Get just the properties
+  Neography::Rest.remove_node_properties(id)                   # Remove all properties of a node
+  Neography::Rest.remove_node_properties(id, "weight")         # Remove one property of a node
+  Neography::Rest.remove_node_properties(id, ["weight","age"]) # Remove multiple properties of a node
 
 ... and a work in progress more rubyish layer that's not quite ready for use yet.
