Abstract
ALTHOUGH both these publications would fall within the category of what Lamb called “biblia abiblia” or “books which are not books”, yet each should prove very useful in its own sphere. In some respects they are superior to more pretentious volumes, for they contain no redundancies, every word pulling its weight; matter sought for can be easily found; and the published prices are well within the purchasing power of the scientific worker even in these times of financial stringency.
