Abstract
THE Safety in Mines Research Board has just issued its twelfth annual report this report is always looked forward to with a good deal of interest by all connected with coal mining in Great Britain, and this twelfth report is especially interesting because it includes a report on matters that come under the purview of the Health Advisory Committee. The subjects dealt with are exceedingly wide, but all have bearing on the safety of men engaged in any way in coal mining. A number of the detailed reports, which are contained in appendixes to the main report, have already been published, chiefly in the Transactions of the Institution of Mining Engineers, and these are exceedingly important. It is also of the greatest interest to find that this Board is co-operating with similar bodies in other countries, and especially with the United States Bureau of Mines, with the French, German, Belgian and other interested bodies.
