Abstract
IN his anniversary address to the Royal Society, the President, referring to the great catalogue of scientific papers, used these words:—“ The utility of the work would obviously be much increased if it could be furnished with some sort of key, enabling persons to find what had been written on particular subjects. I am not without hopes that this very desirable object may yet be accomplished, notwithstanding the magnitude of any such undertaking.” Almost everyone engaged in scientific research must have felt the want of such a key, and will join in the President's hopes. My present object is to suggest a scheme for supplying the want at comparatively little trouble and expense.
