Extract f'OJJi the Preface 



The present volume deals with the papers on Physics, as 

 classified in the schedule of the International Catalogue of 

 Scientific Literature. As it was found that the number of 

 entries in this subject was too large for a single volume, the 

 Committee decided that it should be published in two Parts, 

 the first volume containing the entries classed under General- 

 ities, Heat, Light and Sound, and the second those on 

 Electricity and Magnetism. Part I contains 33344 entries 



relating to the papers contained in 1261 serial publications 



The Index titles were prepared in the same manner as those 

 for Volumes I and II. Papers published from 1884 to 1900 

 inclusive were consulted by Referees familiar with the subjects, 

 so that the Index titles were made from the contents of the 

 papers and not merely from the headings. For the years 

 from 1800 to 1883, it had been intended that the Index entries 

 should be made from the titles in the published twelve volumes 

 of the Catalogue arranged according to authors' names ; but 

 it has been found necessary in a large number of cases to refer 

 to the original papers, as the headings of the papers were not 

 sufficiently definite to enable the Referees to classify the 



contents The subjects are arranged under the registration 



numbers adopted in the International Catalogue of Scientific 

 Literature ; a copy of Schedule C (Physics) of that Catalogue, 

 as revised in 1905, is prefixed to the Index, with indication of 



the pages on which the titles for the different sections occur 



At the end of the volume will be found an alphabetical index 

 to the subdivisions under which the subject titles have been 

 arranged ; this will much facilitate reference.
