1926-1940: Facsimile reproductions of scientific classics. 



This title was given retroactively to a series of papers published in Isis, the first 

 in vol. 8, 671-84, 1926 (Abraham de Moivre), the twenty-first in vol. 31, 327-79, 

 1940 (Roemer). The series was discontinued, because Isis was overcrowded with 

 other contributions; it is hoped to renew it sooner or later. 



1885-1904: Fiziko-matematicheskaya nauki v ikh nastoyashchem i proshedshem. 



(The physico-mathematical sciences in their present and their past). Journal 



edited by V. V. Bobynin. Moskva. 



Victor Victorovich Bobynin ( 1849- ) was the author of a Russian bibliog- 



raphy of physics and mathematics (Russkaia fiziko-matematicheskaya bibliografia) 

 pubhshed in 13 parts forming 3 vols. Moskva, 1886-1900). Vol. 1 deals with the 

 period 1587-1763; vol. 2 with 1764-1799; vol. 3 with 1800-98. He wrote many 

 papers (in Russian and French) on the history of mathematics and contributed to 

 vol. 4 of Cantor's Vorlesungen. He founded this Russian journal on the history of 

 mathematics and physics in 1885; 13 volumes appeared between 1885 and 1898; 

 from 1899 to 1904, a final volume which might be called vol. 14 or the single vol. of 

 series 2 appeared under a somewhat difi^erent title: Fiziko-matematicheskaya nauki 

 v khode ikh razvitiya (The physico-mathematical sciences in the course of their 

 development. ) . 



I wonder whether the Russian bibliography did not first appear in Bobynin's 

 journal; this is suggested by the fact that it appeared in 13 parts and that the journal 

 filled 13 volumes.
