Abstract
THE Agricultural History Society of America, referred to in NATURE of March 19, 1932, p. 432, has a German counterpart in the Gesellschaft für Geschichte und Literatur der Landwirtschaft. Membership of this society is open to all persons interested, the subscription for persons resident outside Germany being 4 RM. per annum. The society's inquiries are not confined to central Europe. Investigation of the history of prominent agriculturists and of farms that have been in long-continued ownership by one family are noteworthy aspects of its activity. It publishes a small quarterly (free to members) containing articles, reviews and a list of current books and papers. Recent issues have included articles on the measures devoted to the development of Chinese agriculture under the Mongols, the Swiss Peasant Association, and the use of marl in ancient and medieval times. Information regarding the society can be obtained from Prof. W. Seedorf, Gosslerstrasse 16, Göttingen, Germany.
