Abstract
THE problem of bibliography threatens to become the most absorbing practical question for all scientific workers. It is not yet quite the time to discuss a proposition to sweep away all previous records and begin afresh; but the time has come for at least producing some sort of classified subject index to all branches of contemporary work. The editors of the Annales de Géographie, the foremost French journal of scientific geography, have brought out as their September number a bibliography of geography for 1895. This does not profess or attempt to be exhaustive, but the 1087 titles recorded have been carefully selected, and nothing of the first order of importance seems to be omitted. Notes are appended to each title, not in the nature of criticism, but simply as an indication of the contents of each book or memoir; and these notes are admirably done. They are the work of forty-nine contributors, and each is signed.
