Review of American Chemical Research, edited 

 by Arthur A. No yes. In the Technology 

 Quarterly, issued by the Massachusetts 

 Institute of Technology, Boston, Mass. 

 The first paper appeared in the number 

 for April, 1895 (Vol. viii., p. 90); the re- 

 views consist of abstracts of papers in peri- 

 odicals, grouped under the following heads : 

 General and Physical Chemistry, Inor- 

 ganic, Organic, Technical, Sanitary, Agri- 

 cultural, Vegetable, Metallurgical, Assay- 

 ing, Geological, Mineralogical, Apparatus. 

 Each abstract is signed by the abstractor. 

 This review promises to be an important 

 contribution to contemporary chemical sci- 

 ence of America, and deserves to be well 

 supported. 



Enumeration of Titles of Chemical Papers. This 

 bibliography has been published monthly 

 since May, 1894, in Science Progress, Lon- 

 don. It embraces titles (without com- 

 ments) in several European languages. 



Bibliography of Agricultural Chemistry (Ameri- 

 can). 



The several publications of the scientific 

 bureaus of the United States government 

 contain many valuable contributions to 

 chemistry in its applications to agriculture 

 and the arts, widely scattered in their pages,, 

 and it has been difficult to keep informed 

 with reference to them. Thanks, however ,^ 

 to the excellent bibliographical work of the 

 Ofiice of Experiment Stations, U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, the 

 chemical treatises published in the Bulletins 

 of the State Institutions are made accessi- 

 ble ; this is accomplished in the three publi- 

 cations here named : 



Experiment Station Record, Vol. iii., No. 12 

 (July, 1892). Bulletin No. 19 (1894), and 

 Bulletin No. 23 (1895). Organization 

 Lists of the Agricultural Experiment 

 Stations, U.S. Department of Agriculture^ 

 Ofl&ce of Experiment Stations. 

 These contain : ' Lists of Station Publi- 

 cations,' giving dates, bulletin numbers and 

 titles of each bulletin, under each State, 

 alphabetically arranged. For the agricul- 

 tural chemist these bibliographical helps 

 are too important to be overlooked. 



The Committee also chronicles the publi- 

 cation of the following valuable aids to 

 chemical research :

This is a classified index, with an index 

 to authors, compiled from fifty-nine foreign 

 and American periodicals; it is intended to- 

 be published annually.
