Abstract
(1) THIS volume contains the general and A non-ferrous metallurgical abstracts which have already been published during 1932 in the monthly Journal. These abstracts not only provide the worker in physical metallurgy with an invaluable guide to the literature of the subject, but also constitute a very useful aid to the physicist or physical chemist whose interests lie in this direction. As usual, the literature has been surveyed accurately over a broad front, but whether the latter is rather too broad is open to question. The Institute's desire to cater for all types of its membership can be appreciated, but considerable space is taken up by abstracts of articles which are merely recapitulations of existing knowledge and practice. A noticeable omission is a list of the periodicals abstracted.
