Abstract
THERE is no published record in Great Britain from which one can obtain the scientific record of a particular individual, apart from those included in “Who's Who”. Attempts have been made to meet the need, but they have not persisted. North America is more fortunate. Since 1906 it has had “American Men of Science”, now in its seventh edition. It is a bulky volume, in spite of the large page used, but the type is admirably clear, as should be the case in any reference book.
