 No. 15. Especially as experience has shown, that the publication 

 in pxtenso of all the communications presented at the Congress can fol- 

 low only so late afterwards that the contents of many contributions are 

 overtaken by the advance in science before they can appear; 



And whereas it would not be difficult for every contribution to be 

 published in some one of special journals or periodicals where it would 

 come more directly to the knowledge of those working in the particular 

 subject. 



Therefore the General Session of the XITTth International Congress 

 of Orientalists resolves that — 



The issuing of the communications in extenso be given up. That the 

 Executive Committee in Hamburg be entrusted with the duty of 

 publishing within at least six months, the essential points of those 

 contributions and discussions, of which a resume is handed to the 

 General Secretary within one month after the close of the Con- 

 gress. The length of the single resumes^ so far as possible, shall 

 not exceed two printed pages, of the form and size of the previous 

 reports. The Congress requests that the Board of Directors of 

 the German Oriental Society lend their aid to the Executive Com- 

 mittee in Hamburg in the matter of publication.
