Abstract
THIS is a very unusual book and therefore somewhat difficult to review in a short notice. It comprises a collection of miscellaneous notes and conclusions in both geometry and arithmetic. As the author points out, a roving investigator accumulates a considerable amount of original material; but gleanings here and there do not necessarily provide the ingredients for a connected thesis. The apt title of the volume gives some clue to its contents, in so far that no single theme is systematically developed.
