Abstract
The first issue of the newly established monthly journal, South African Science (Suid-Afrikaanse Wetenskap), has just been published (Vol. 1, No. 1, August 1947). This is the bulletin of the South African Association for the Advancement of Science and is available free to members, but may be obtained also by non-members (15s. a year, including postage, Kelvin House, H/v Marshall and Hollard-straat, Johannesburg). The journal is similar to Nature in format and make up. There are two valuable main articles: “Scientific Research, in South Africa”, by Dr. B. F. J. Schonland, president of the South African Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, and “The World View of the Physicist”, by Prof. H. H. Paine. Letters to the Editor and Notes and News are given reasonable space, and there is a further article, “The Control of Reverberation in Theatres and Concert Halls”, by Prof. P. R. Kirby. An account of the Oudtshoorn meeting of the South African Association completes the number. The editor of South African Science is Dr. H. B. S. Cooke, of the Department of Geology, University of the Witwatersrand, who is to be congratulated on the first number of a journal which is clearly needed in such a rapidly developing area as South Africa.
