Abstract
A LIST of terms in the main European languages and in Latin denoting the various communicable diseases has recently been published ("Lexique Polyglotte des Maladies Contagieuses" (Polyglot Glossary of Communicable Diseases). By Dr. Yves Biraud. (London: Allen and Unwin: League of Nations Publications Dept., 1944. Pp. 354. 4s.). The author states in his introduction that circumstances did not allow of the sending of questionnaires to medical authorities of the various countries or of submitting proofs of the Glossary to them. This is quite obvious, and anyone looking for an accurate guide of this type will be well advised to await the appearance of a heavily amended second edition.
