ARCHEOLOGY — BIBLIOGRAPHY. 335 



will appear very soon. A number of new monuments or parts of monu- 

 ments throughout the city have been identified during the year. The 

 most important of these are several new portions of the palaces of 

 Nero and Hadrian on the Palatine, and of Caligula at its foot, as well 

 as a nameless monument of the period of Hadrian on the south side of 

 the upper Sacra Via. The remains of the so-called Temple of the Sacred 

 City have been found to belong almost entirely to the period of Augustus 

 instead of to that of Vespasian, as generally held. An extensive group 

 of monuments in the Forum has been identified, which belongs to the 

 period of Sulla. 



Hearty support has been given to the work, during the year, by 

 the older English, German, and Italian archeologists, and valuable 

 assistance has been rendered by students of the British School and of 

 the University of Rome, who have furnished careful descriptions and 

 measurements (made according to the newer methods) of various 

 monuments studied by them.

Garrison, Fielding H., Army Medical Museum, Washington, District of 

 Columbia. Preparation and publication of the Index Medicus. (For 

 previous reports see Year Books Nos. 2-12.) 



The Index Medicus for 1913 contains 1,448 pages, 39 pages more 

 than the issue for 1912; and the annual index of the same, issued about 

 July 15, contains 233 pages, 9 more than that of the preceding year. 

 The seven monthly numbers issued to date (1914) consist of 841 pages, 

 covering the months January to July. The sudden advent of the war 

 in Europe makes it highly probable that, after a certain date, there 

 will be little medical literature from the continent of Europe for some 

 time. In the Surgeon General's Library at Washington this is already 

 true, so far as the periodical literature of France, Austria, Russia, and 

 Belgium is concerned, and perhaps a temporary falling off in the medical 

 periodicals of England, Germany, and Italy may also be noticeable 

 during the war. This being so, the monthly numbers of the Index 

 Medicus may be correspondingly diminished in size. 



There have been no changes in the scheme of classification, except 

 that the subtitle ''Deficiency Diseases" has been added to the general 

 concept of disordered metabolism, "beri-beri" and pellagra having 

 been transferred to this class from ' 'Intoxications. "
