1878. Baird, Spencer F. {editor). Annual Record | of | Science and Industry | for 

 1877. I Edited by | Spencer F. Baird, | with the assistance of eminent men of 

 science. | [Cut.] | New York: | Harper & Brothers, Publishers. | Franklin 

 Square. | 1878. 8vo. pp. xiv, 480.— Preface dated March 1, 1878. 



"A modification of the original plan of the ' Annu.al Record' was commenced in the vol- 

 ume for 1877. Previous to that it consisted of two parts — first, a general summary of progress 

 in the various branches of science ; and, secondly, a series of abstracts of special papers, 

 credited to the work in which they were published. These abstracts, although prepared by 

 several specialists, were without indication of their authorship. The experience of several 

 years showed that, in attempting to give abstracts of anything like the most important an- 

 nouncements of the year, more space was required than could be spared for the pui-pose ; and 

 it was therefore determined to enlarge the scope of the first division, and make it include a 

 greater amount of detail, each summary to be prepared by some eminent specialist, and to 

 be headed by his name."
