Abstract
THE issue of the two index numbers of vols. 39 of Science Abstracts for 1936 enables a comparison to be made with previous volumes. The physics volume includes 5,716 abstracts covering 1,332 pages, with a subject index of nearly 260 and an author index of more than 80 pages. The electrical engineering volume has 3,525 abstracts in 820 pages, with subject index 120 and the author index 55 pages. The former volume is about six per cent larger than last year's and the latter about eleven per cent. The average length of the abstracts is slightly less than last year. The subject index in the physics volume has a key to it which facilitates its use. Each volume of Science Abstracts is a valuable time-saving device for those who wish to keep abreast of research or look up past progress in the subject with which it deals.
