Periodicals. The periodicals published by French 

 scholars on Oriental subjects, and appearing in Paris under 

 the auspices of the University or the closely connected 

 learned bodies whose members are University professors, 

 are also worthy of notice. The "Journal Asiatique," 

 published by the Societe Asiatique, is the oldest and best; 

 its contributors are mainly from the University. The 

 "Memoires de la Societe de linguistique " and the "Bul- 

 letin de Fficole franchise d'Extreme-Orient" are also 

 valuable periodicals in their respective scientific and 

 practical lines; while the "Journal des Savants," though 

 more general in scope, is not less scientific. Under the 

 care of the Mus6e Guimet appears the "Revue de 

 Thistoire des religions," an invaluable aid to all workers 

 in the field of comparative religion; while the "T'oung 

 Pao," now in its eighteenth year, and the "Revue Semi- 

 tique," published by Halevy, are indispensable for the 

 Sinologue and Semitic scholar. 



Libraries. Besides the general libraries of the College, 

 the Sorbonne, and the Institute, the student of Orientalia 

 has the Mus6e Guimet (7 Place d'lena), which contains 

 32000 volumes on the history and culture of the extreme 

 Orient, and the Musee Indo-Chinois (Palais duTroca- 

 dero), which contains a rich collection of Oriental anti- 

 quities. There is a special Salle de travail (Galerie 

 Saint- Jacques) reserved for foreign students wishing to 

 obtain the Certificat d'fitudes francaises.
