Catalogue of Scientific Papers, Fourth Series (1884–1900)

Abstract

WE congratulate the Royal Society on the fourth volume of the Author Catalogue of the scientific papers published during the seventeen years 1884–1900. The first volume (numbered vol. xiii. of the catalogue), containing a list of papers by authors whose names begin with the letters A and B, was published in June, 1914; the second volume, with authors names from C to Fittig, in February, 1915; and the third volume (numbered vol. xv. of the catalogue), containing the author index to the end of H, in October, 1916. The volume now issued carries the indexing as far as the name Marbut. It is no light matter to have surmounted the difficulties in the production of a work of this magnitude under the conditions created by the war. Scientific workers will also recognise that the Cambridge University Press has carried out the printing with as great care and efficiency as was the case with volumes produced under more favourable conditions.
