The abstracts in this volume occupy 773 pages, and required in their 

 preparation the reviewing of 28,203 pages in the original publications. 

 In addition to this the volume contains 2,104 foreign titles, not 

 abstracted; 20 editorials, occupying 29 pages; 11 special articles, occu- 

 pying 138 pages, and 79 station notes, occupying 12 pages. 



As in previous volumes, the subject index has been made in suflS- 

 cieut detail to serve as a fairly complete guide to the contents of the 

 publications abstracted. 



The classified list of abstracts has been omitted from this volume. 

 The number of articles to be catalogued is so large that it is believed 

 that in most cases references to a given subject will be more readily 

 found in the detailed index than in a voluminous subject list of titles.
