208 Journals and Serials 



founded on 2 March, 1908, at the initiative of Dr. Cabanes. The small octavo 

 volume contains 19 articles which relate chiefly to French medicine. (I do not 

 know of further volumes; neither is any recorded in catalogs. ) 



1870- : Bulletin des sciences mathematiques. Edited by Gaston Darboux 



[1842-1917] and Emile Picard [1856-1941]. Paris, Gauthier-Villars. 

 Vols. 1-19 (1870-84) were entitled Bulletin des sciences mathematiques et as- 



tronomiques; after that the astronomical part was published separately in the Bulletin 



astronomique. The latest volume seen was that of 1948. General tables for 1870- 



76, 1877-1906. See Isis 2, 134. 



Vol. 1-11, 1870-1876, form series No. 1; series 2, begins with vol. 1, 1877. The 



serial is issued from the Ecole pratique des hautes etudes in Paris.

From vol. 7, 1939, on, this is the current title of the Bulletin of the Institute of 

 the History of Medicine. ( C. F. M. )

Henry E. SiGEmsT. Baltimore, The Johns Hopkins Press. 



Vol. 1 appeared in 1933. Latest no. seen vol. 24, 6 (December 1950). Supple- 

 ments to the Bulletin began to appear in 1943, also edited by Sigerist. These sup- 

 plements dealing with special subjects were reviewed or listed in Isis under their 

 authors' names. E.g., no. 1, Ludwig Edelstein, Baltimore 1943 (Isis 33, 53), no. 

 9, Benjamin Spector, 1947 (Isis 40). 



The title of the publication was changed to Bulletin of the History of Medicine 

 in 1939 (with vol. 7).

1941-1943: Bulletin of the Medical Library Association. Menasha, Wisconsin. 



According to its editors the character of this publication changed. It usually con- 

 tains association aflFairs. In vol. 30 and vol. 31 ( 1941-1943), under the management 

 of Claudius F. Mayer, its associate and managing editor, the journal was also pub- 

 lishing "contributions of value to . . . the history of medicine in its bibliographical 

 aspect." A special section was devoted to rare books and exhibits, and another to 

 medical bibliography. (C. F. M.) 



1911- : Bulletin of the Society of Medical History of Chicago. Published in 



Chicago. 



This is a very irregularly issued medico-historical journal containing the papers 

 of the Society (founded February 1910). It has a few general articles, and many 

 biographies, local (Chicago and Illinois) histories. 



An unusual example of slow motion publishing. Vol. 1 includes four numbers 

 which were issued as follows: No. 1, Oct. 1911; No. 2, Aug. 1912; No. 3, March 

 1913; No. 4. Jan. 1916. Five nos. of vol. 2 were pubHshed from Jan. 1917 to March 

 1922. Vol. 3 in 4 Nos., Jan. 1923 to Sept. 1925. Vol. 4 from April 1928 on. Vol. 

 5, from Jan. 1937 to June 1946. The latest is No. 5 of vol. 5. There is an Index 

 to vol 1 to 4. (C. F. M.) 



1868-1887: BuUettino di bibliografia e di storia delle scienze matematiche e fisiche. 



Edited by Baldassare Boncompagni [1821-94]. 20 vols, folio. Roma. 



At the end of vol. 20 (p. 697-748), elaborate tables to the 20 vols. I have a 

 separate copy of these tables dated Roma 1890. The Index was also separately re- 

 printed in the Serie di Indici generaU di Opere periodiche italiane estinte; edited by 

 Attilio Nardecchia (^Roma, 1915).
