PREFACE. 



This List, showing the order in which the various Serial Publications are 

 arranged (under arbitrary numbers) on the shelves in the General Library, 

 has been printed for the convenience of the Museum Staff 



The general sequence has been adopted from Scudder's Catalogue of 

 Scientific Serials," but under each country the publications of the more im- 

 portant Academies are placed first, the remainder following in alphabetical 

 order according to the place of publication, whilst Magazines are usually 

 placed last. 



The List has been revised for the press by the Assistant-in-Charge, 

 Mr. B. B. Woodward , whilst the appended Index of Towns has been 

 contributed by the Attendant, C. Hadrill, who compiled it for the purpose 

 in his private time. iMj
