Abstract
THE charge can no longer be made against Government departments that official statistics are hidden in departmental publications of which only the initiated are aware. This valuable volume, issued at a nominal price, is a complete guide to all official statistics published during the past year. It consists of two parts, a subject index and a list of publications arranged under the headings of the departments of issue. The subject index is full and well supplied with cross references. No worker in need of Government statistics should have any difficulty in tracing what is available by the help of this volume. It is a work of reference which deserves a wide circulation.
