of Miss Mary Earthy, Miss Harkness, Miss Richards, and Miss Seymour, and in January of 

 Miss Goode. The members of the Staff, upon whom now devolves the task of the final 

 stage of editing the remaining slips for the press and of proof-reading, are Miss Vagner, 

 Miss Barnard, and Miss Chapman. The Committee gratefully acknowledges the zeal and 

 ability alike of those assistants who have ceased to belong to the Staff and of those that 

 remain to carry out the final stages of the undertaking. 



The Committee desires also to put on record its indebtedness to the Syndics of the 

 Cambridge University Press, who have continued, in spite of the inevitable difficulties 

 experienced throughout the period of war, to carry forward the onerous task which they 

 have freely accepted of the j)rinting and publication of the Catalogue. Though the rate of 

 printing the sheets has necessarily been largely reduced, owing to the depletion of their 

 staff, the Press has continued the work without intermission to the present date, and 

 without abatement of efficiency or of care. It was with great regret that the Committee 

 recently heard of the decease of Mr. John Clay, M.A., who as University Printer had been 

 from the first closely associated with the production of this final series of the Catalogue.
