Abstract
As a result of the appeal by Sir John Russell, chairman of the Anglo-Soviet Scientific Collaboration Committee, for Russian-English technical dictionaries, sixteen glossaries of Russian technical and scientific terms have been collected and placed in the Science Library, South Kensington, London, S. W. 7, where they are available for consultation. Most of the glossaries, which cover a wide range of subjects-military and naval terms, metallurgy, medicine, botany, fuel technology and bacteriology of fish-have been compiled by individuals during the course of their work in a special field. Some are printed, others are typed or in duplicated form, while others are in manuscript or on cards. A list of these glossaries giving the name and address of the compiler or donor can be obtained from the Secretary of the Anglo-Soviet Scientific Collaboration Committee, British Council, 3 Hanover Street, W. I. A location list of Russian technical glossaries has also been compiled by the Anglo-Soviet Scientific Collaboration Committee. This list, which incorporates the glossaries collected for the Science Library, also indicates the libraries in which copies of the chief Russian scientific and technical dictionaries may be found. Copies of the location list may also be obtained upon application to the Secretary of the Anglo-Soviet Scientific Collaboration Committee.
