International Catalogue of Scientific Literature

Abstract

THIS is the second instalment of the work of the International Catalogue Bureau, the first (part i. of Botany) having been reviewed in our issue of July 3 (p. 217). In a notice on p. xiv. it is explained that in consequence of the difficulties attending the complete organisation of the work of the regional bureaus some delay has arisen, and it is hoped that the second part of the volume will be published in a few months. In starting a colossal work such as this “International Catalogue,” delay was inevitable, and it is to be hoped that when the different bureaus are in working order the volumes will be published more closely to the period to which they refer. On the title-page it is stated that the MS. for this volume was completed in January, 1902, so we presume that both parts i. and ii. will deal with the year 1901 only.
