Journals and Serials 195 



Many of the journals published in or after 1912 have been analyzed in the Critical 

 Bibliographies of Isis. It is possible that those Bibliographies include occasional 

 references to other journals which might have been listed below but were accidentally 

 omitted. 



References to Isis have been added to many items; when no such reference occurs 

 it does not by any means follow that the item has not been reviewed or listed in 

 Isis. 



After having completed my task, I submitted the notes assembled by me to Dr. 

 Claudius F. Mayer, Editor of the Index-Catalogue (Isis 40, 119; 1949), Chief 

 Medical Officer, Army Medical Library, Washington, D. C. Dr. Mayer was kind 

 enough to revise them. He not only corrected or brought up to date many of the 

 items mentioned by me, but he added many more which I had omitted. As his 

 efforts have doubled the list, it is fair to consider him as co-author. His initials are 

 put at the end of items entirely or chiefly contributed by him, but it should be under- 

 stood that the other items may have been revised and partly rewritten by him. 



Dr. Mayer was able to add many items partly because of his superior bibliograph- 

 ical knowledge, partly because of his greater cathoHcity. On the other hand, his 

 long experience has enabled him to discard many items, the title of which suggests 

 that they concern the history of science, but which are nevertheless irrelevant. A 

 list of these discarded items being in itself very instructive has been printed in the 

 appendix at the end of this chapter.
