 Henry Carrington Bolton. First Supplement; pp, ix, 489. 

 Washington, 1899. (Smithsonian Miscellaneous Contributions, 

 1170.) — Workers in science owe much to the careful and pains- 

 taking labors of those who prepare the bibliographies in the 

 different departments. One of the most complete of these is the 

 Bibliography of Chemistry, 1492-1892, by Professor Bolton, 

 which was issued in 1898. A First Supplement to this work has 

 now been issued, bringing the literature of the subject down to 

 the close of 1897. This is a closely printed volume of nearly 

 five hundred pages, which fact alone gives evidence of the large 

 amount of material brought together. The total number of 

 titles is 5554 in twenty-five different languages ; these titles 

 are classified under the following seven heads : Bibliography ; 

 Dictionaries and Tables ; History of Chemistry ; Biography ; 

 Chemistry, Pure and Applied ; Periodicals.
