Abstract
THE publication of a digest of the scientific papers which have appeared in the English language during even a limited period would entail serious difficulties. In the first place, the expense of printing would be considerable, and it would also be hardly possible to obtain the services of men competent to perform the task without paying them an adequate fee. In the second place, a satisfactory digest could not be published without the co-operation of the various scientific societies; and everybody who has had any experience as a member of the governing body of any club, society, or other institution is well aware of the difficulty of getting a dozen men, many of whom represent conflicting interests, to agree upon any definite scheme.
