Abstract
AT the conference of the International Union of Chemistry, held in April 1934 in Madrid, it was recommended that a substantial part of the funds at the disposal of the Union should be transferred to the International Committee of Annual Tables of Constants, in order to assist in the publication of these valuable tables. This recommendation was passed unanimously by the Union's executive in Paris in last October and confirmed by the national organisations representing the various countries adhering to the Union, such as Verband Deutscher Chemischer Vereine representing Germany, Comité National Beige de Chimie representing Belgium, National Research Council, Division of Chemistry, representing the United States, and so on. The sum thus put at the disposal of the Committee of the Annual Tables is 150,000 francs; the amount indicates the importance which international chemical circles attach to the continuation of the Annual Tables. This sum will be used up for printing the index of the second series (vol. 6-10, 1923-1930), which is now ready. In return for this gift, the Committee of the Annual Tables is going to put at the disposal of the chemical organisations adhering to the Union a certain number of complete sets of the Tables.
