part 1] ANNUAL REPORT. XV 



Mr. C. Davies Sherborn reports that 



' The Card Catalogue has now been edited up to S. and Vol. XV of the 

 Royal Society's Index of Scientific Papers has been cut xrp, mounted on cards, 

 indexed, and incorporated, thus including many of the papers issued between 

 1894 and 1900 of the Authors, from A to H. Vol. XVI of the Royal Society's 

 Index (I to M) is now being cut up. As these volumes take about three 

 months to read through and cut up, before indexing" can be commenced, the 

 work is tedious." 



In order to facilitate the answering of official enquiries con- 

 cerned with matters arising from the War, Mr. Sherborn lias 

 prepared a card-index to nearly all geological maps (except British), 

 whether issued as sheets or in books. This index has been of the 

 greatest value, and the means of considerable saving of time ; and 

 the Society is much indebted to Mr. Sherborn for the great care 

 and trouble that he has taken over the work, and for the amount 

 of time that he has devoted to it.
