Abstract
PROF. HOLDEN, of the Observatory of Washington, U.S., lately read to the Washington Philosophical Society a paper on “Special Astronomical Bibliographies” in which a careful comparison of one section of the “Reference Catalogue of Scientific Papers,” by Mr. E. B. Knobel, F.R.A.S. (lately mentioned in these columns), was made with a MSS. catalogue on the same subject (nebulae and clusters) which Prof. Holden had compiled for his own use. Only one misprint was found (op. cit., p. 377, for Comptes Rendus vol. 28, p. 537, read p. 537, read only one omission of a highly important paper, the “Siderum Nebulosorum Observationes, Havniensis” of D'Arrest. The list of works given by Mr. Knobel might be still further extended, but in its present state it is very accurate and extremely useful.
