the sub-tropics; it is consequently followed by its 

 literature, and those interested in this culture must there- 

 fore not restrict their attention to publications in the 

 Tropics only. 



General and Scientific Literature. 



It is not proposed in this paper to deal at any length 

 with the publications of a general kind, nor with the 

 purely scientific literature that circulate in the Tropics. 

 Brief mention may be made, however, of the Colonial 

 Journal and the Empire Rcvieiv as examples of the former 

 class; of the latter, Nature, Science, the Journal of 

 Agricultural Science, Science Progress, the Journal of 

 Agricultural Research, the Annals of Botany, the Bulletin 

 du Jardin Botanique, the Kew Bulletin, Annales Mycolo- 

 giques, Bulletin Trimestriel dc la Socictc Mycologiquc de 

 France, Mycologia, Phytopathology, Comptes Rendus 

 de V Academic des Sciences, the Journal of Economic 

 Entomology, the Review of Applied Entomology, the 

 Quarterly Journal of Applied Physiology, the Zeitschrift 

 filr Pflanzenkrankheiten, and the Bulletin of Entomo- 

 logical Research are examples of scientific publications 

 issued in Europe and America which frequently contain 

 information indispensable for conducting research in the 

 Tropics. As already mentioned, the greater part of the 

 scientific work done in the Tropics appears as special 

 bulletins or pamphlets, or else somewhat unfortunately 

 interposed between articles of more general interest in 

 the agricultural periodicals. If institutions of the univer- 

 sity type with a university Press existed in the Tropics 

 it might be possible to co-ordinate scientific literature, 

 and so render an invaluable service to those engaged in 

 agricultural education and research.
