Abstract
IN this supplement the compiler has given nearly as much space to 10,000 volumes as was occupied by twice that number in the catalogue published in 1880 (see NATURE, vol. xxiii. p. 262). Most of the works have been published since 1880, but some earlier books have also been added. The rapid accumulation of knowledge makes it extremely difficult to provide adequate references to the subjects of pamphlets and of articles in treatises and serial publications. The compiler has, however, recognized the importance of this part of his work, and the results of the labour he has devoted to it will be of real service to students who may have occasion to consult the supplementary catalogue.
