Abstract
THE annual reports for 1933 and 1934 of the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, both of which have recently been received, give details of the operations and expenditures during the sessioas in question (Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D.C. 1 dollar). In both volumes, reports are given summarising the year's activities, finances, grants, publications, library, etc. These are followed by detailed reports which include those of the Bureau of American Ethnology, National Zoological Park, Astrophysical Observatory, Division of Radiation and Organisms, International Catalogue of Scientific Literature and the International Exchange Service. The greater part of each volume is, however, used for the publication of articles and addresses by well-known men of science, most of which have already appeared in previous publications such as Philosophy, Technology Review, Geographical Journal, Scientific Monthly, Report of the British Association, Science Progress, NATURE, etc. This general appendix of well-chosen lectures, addresses and papers adds greatly to the value of these annual reports.
