The items which concern more directly the history of science ( as we understand 

 it) have been marked with an asterisk; there are 13 of them out of 24. Some of 

 these thirteen works were translated into English or into French; many were re- 

 printed. These thirteen works belong to the general literature of our field. 



For books dealing with the history of science in special countries, it will be con- 

 venient to list them in alphabetical order of these countries. It should be noted that 

 the largest of those histories ( as for example the French one ) are also of international 

 interest. This is unavoidable. It is always worth while to consult the history of 

 science of a special nation ( as well as national bibliographies, encyclopaedias, atlases 

 and gazetteers) whenever one has to investigate persons or events concerning that 

 particular nation.

For pre-Columbian America, see in the Critical Bibliographies of Isis the section 

 entitled Ethnology (Primitive and popular science) and (beginning with the 60th 

 Critical Bibliography in vol. 33, 1941) the section entitled America (part 2, IV A).
