 1919. — Lewis S. Ware, the distinguished sugar engineer, publisher, and author, of Philadel- 

 phia and Paris, made a special study of sugar beet industry and attempted unsuccessfully to 

 establish it in the United States in 1873. In 1879 he established at Philadelphia a monthly 

 publication, The Sugar Beet, which continued for 32 years. He also published pamphlets and 

 books, his principal work being "Beet Sugar Manufacture and Refining," which is one of the 

 standard works on this subject. Dr. Ware collected a sugar library of 12,000 volumes, which 

 he has bequeathed to the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia. — C. Rumbold.

 1919. — This bibliography gives mycological and entomological publications, each of which 

 is based wholly or in part on the field results of the compiler, in the Philippines and Malaysia, 

 during the period from 1913 to 1918, inclusive. The object of the index is to aid the investi- 

 gator in obtaining the literature on these subjects, and to illustrate the great value of coopera- 

 tion between scientists. — S. F. Trelease.
