Periodicals 



American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Bulletin, published monthly by 

 the Association, 624 South Cheyenne Ave., P.O. Box 979, Tulsa 1, Oklahoma. 

 Contains occasional papers on geophysical exploration for petroleum and gas. 

 Index, 1917-1945, contains over 150 references published in the Bulletin in the 

 period cited. Case histories, theoretical and applied techniques, problems of 

 correlation with geologic data, interpretation and significance. 

 American Geographical Society (1944). Geographical Review, July, 1944, New 

 York. Contains a review of about 40 meteorological books by Chapman and 

 Brooks. 

 American Geophysical Union, Transactions, published by National Research 

 Council, Washington, D. C. Six numbers per annual volume. Contains 

 articles, news items, reports of Union meetings and papers, bibliographies, ab- 

 stracts and reviews, and an annual index. The American Geophysical Union 

 was established by the National Research Council in 1919 to "promote the 

 study of problems concerned with the figure and physics of the Earth, to 

 initiate and coordinate researches which depend upon international and na- 

 tional cooperation, and to provide for their scientific discussion and publica- 

 tion." Sections of the Union are : meteorology, hydrology, oceanography, 

 seismology, volcanology, terrestrial magnetism and electricity, geodesy, and 

 tectonophysics. Indispensable to all geophysicists with scientific interest in 

 the field. 

 American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, Transactions, New 

 York, published irregularly as separate volumes:

 (1932), 510 pages; vol. 110 (1934), 583 pages; vol. 138 (1940), 489 pages; vol. 

 164 (1945), 426 pages; also vol. 74, pp. 3-28, contains one paper on electrical 

 prospecting. Professional articles on all phases of geophysical exploration 

 under a series of Technical Papers sponsored by the A.I.M.E. Committee on 

 Geophysics. Covers case histories, theoretical, mining, laboratory and field 

 tests, with a series of papers on geophysics education. 

 Petroleum development and technology, published annually as Transactions.

 petroleum production and reservoir studies. For late years see Transactions, 

 vol. 160 (1945), 665 pages; vol. 165 (1946), 292 pages; vol. 170 (1947), 279 

 pages. Beginning in 1948 a new series called Statistics of oil and gas devel- 

 opment and production was started; 514 pages in the 1948 volume.
