Abstract
MORE than eight hundred technical and scientific periodicals are received by the library of the American Geographical Society. From these a careful selection of material of geographical interest is made, to be entered in the library’s research catalogue. A current index is thereby provided to an extremely important body of geographical material that does not appear in the usual library catalogue. There is thus afforded a continuous, up-to-date record of current material of value not only to geographers but also to geologists, economists, anthropologists, and workers in many other allied fields. So useful has the research catalogue proved to the staff of the Society and to those consulting its library that the Society now proposes to make this material more generally available if there is sufficient demand. It is planned to publish ten mimeographed lists a year of the material catalogued during the month (material for July and August to be listed in the following issues). The subscription rate will be 3·75 dollars.
