With this explanatory introduction the following pages will, it is hoped, 

 be clear to all whose interest in the metallic carbides leads them to con- 

 sult this, — a bibliographical dictionary of those compounds. 



J. A. MATHEWS. 



Chemical Department, 



Columbia University, 



January, 1897. 



Note. — During the period since the manuscript of the present work 

 was submitted there has appeared a great deal of original material upon 

 the carbides. Especially must be noted a number of books, and the 

 addition of these, together with the more important journal references, 

 will add very materially to the usefulness of this bibliography.
