which the Contracting Body by whom they are appointed 

 desires that the schedules of the vohinies delivered to them 

 shall be printed. 



Special Volumes for Card Catalogues. 



33. It has been sug-g-ested that it might be convenient to some 

 of the Contracting Bodies to have copies printed on one side of 

 the paper only, in order that they might be cut up and the 

 various entries pasted upon cards so as to form a Card Catalogue. 

 Such volume would, of course, be doubled in size and more 

 expensive than the ordinary volumes. Regional Bureaus are 

 requested to ascertain whether any volumes of this character 

 would be preferred to the ordinary volumes in their region. 



Journals to be Catalogued. 



34. Each Eegional Bureau shall furnish to the Central Bureau, 

 as soon as possible, a list of the Journals, the contents 

 of which it proposes to catalogue. Such Journals to be 

 arranged in a list according- to the sciences they mainly deal 

 with {see 8 above). 



Journals dealing with science generally are to be placed under 

 a special heading of " Science in General." 



Journals dealing with a limited number of sciences are to be 

 placed under a special heading of "Several Sciences," and the 

 sciences with which they deal (.'learly indicated by the regi.stra- 

 tion letters of Section 8 supra. 



Journals, especially those of technical character, containing 

 occasionally matter of scientific interest, shall be placed in a 

 separate list, headed '' Journals partially Scientific." 



35. In sending in its list of Journals, any Regional Bureau 

 may also suggest abbreviated titles for the Journals. Such 

 abbreviated titles must, however, be prepared according to the 

 following rules : — 



(a.) The abbreviated title must be intelligible without a key. 



(b.) In the abbreviated title the words, whether entire or 

 abbreviated, must follow each other in the same order as in the 

 original title. 



(c.) Titles of proceedings, reports, or scientific periodicals in 

 general which are edited or published by Learned Societies, 

 Academies, &c., must, however, begin with the name of the 

 place where the Society resides. 



e.g., Schriften der physikalisch-oekonomischen Gosell- 

 schaft in Konigsborg, should be shortened to :— 



Koiiigsberg Schr. phys. oekon. Ges.
