Abstract

(1) THE British Museum of Natural History continues to issue at frequent intervals a series of extremely useful catalogues, guides to the collections, or other valuable volumes. Not the least welcome of these to workers in the museum, although probably not of general interest to the public, is the “Catalogue of the Books, Manuscripts, Maps, and Drawings.” This, under the superintendence of Mr. B. B. Woodward, the librarian, is still in course of completion, and vol. iv. now lies before us. Starting at P, it brings the entries under authors' names down to SN. We learn from the director's preface that the first sheet was passed for press in October, 1910, and the issue of this volume marks a distinct advance in cataloguing a library, the value and richness of which is probably known to very few of the public.
