Abstract
THESE volumes are a continuation of. the new annual tables of physical, chemical, and engineering constants, the publication of which was commenced by an influential International Committee in 1910; they contain the data for the years 1911 and 1912 abstracted from a very large number of scientific periodicals. One of their most commendable features is that memoirs are not passed over even when their titles do not indicate them as sources of new constants. The abstractors have indeed no light task in the collection of the large amount of information constituting in a single volume the results of a year's research by the laboratories of the entire world. While the basal language of the book is French, the preface, headings to the pages, and the excellent indexes are also printed in English, German, and Italian.
