Abstract
THE fifty-third annual issue of this year-book maintains the high standing that its predecessors have achieved, thus making it an indispensable guide in scientific, technical and other libraries, laboratories, universities, research institutions, etc. The learned societies are classified under fifteen headings, and this, together with a very full index, makes reference a very easy task. Under each society, association, etc., are given the list of officers, details of membership, arrangements for meetings, titles of publications, etc. The fact that all this information is gleaned from official sources makes the volume authoritative and one which is almost unique among the annual publications of reference literature.
