Abstract
FOR the last six years the well-known Paris publishers Hermann et Cie. have been issuing brief but authoritative accounts of recent research work in many fields under the general title of Actualitss scientifiques et industrielles. Several of the latest additions to this series are of a mathematical nature, and are grouped under various sub-headings such as Exposs d'Analyse Gonorale (which deal with developments of Cantors theory of aggregates), Exposs de Goomotrie, and Exposss mathmatiques. One of the tracts placed in the third group might very well have been included in the first. The authors include M. Frechet, Emmy Noether (who writes in German), A. Appert, M. Brelot, J. Dieudonns, L. Godeaux and N. Lusin. Some of these confine themselves to rather special problems investigated by themselves, while others, notably MM. Fréchet and Appert in their Exposés dAnalyse Générale, give a general account of all the results obtained in the field considered. The number of pages in a tract varies from 11 to 63, and the price from 5 to 14 francs. The style has the clarity and charm which are characteristic of French exposition.
