Abstract
THE publication of the “Annual Tables” having lagged behind schedule since vol. 10 (1930), the new managing committee (Institut de Chemie, 11 Rue Pierre Curie, Paris, 5e) proposes to make up for it by publishing the data for 1931-36 in a more condensed form and more critically edited, in separate fascicules by subjects, partly separately for 1931-34 and 1935-36 and partly for the whole period 1931-36. The set of these fascicules will form vols. 11 and 12 of the “Annual Tables”. This programme is to be completed in 1937: the numerical material published in the “Annual Tables” will then be brought up to date. In addition, an index volume by substances for vols. 6-10 (1923-30), like that published for vols. 1-5 (1910-22), is to appear towards the end of this year. A new index volume by substances will be prepared for vols. 11 and 12, to be published in 1937. The Committee would welcome inquiries about the “Tables”, and state that the back numbers have now been greatly reduced in price. The new fascicules are being issued at a very modest price, which will place them at the disposal of all scientific workers likely to need them in their investigations. The preparation of the “Annual Tables”, which is a purely scientific and non-profit-making undertaking, is a worthy task deserving the active support of men of science in securing their prompt publication.
