Abstract
Messrs. Charles Griffin and Co., Ltd., deserve the thanks of scientific workers generally for the money and care they have expended during the past half-century on the production of this useful reference book. This, however, is to be the last time we shall be able to welcome its appearance—at least, in its present form. For those who are unacquainted with the volume, we may say that it contains particulars as to the names, addresses, meetings, membership, and publications of the scientific and learned societies of the British Isles and of Government scientific departments, and to each society, where the information is available, is appended a list of the papers read during the session 1929–30. The societies are classified by their subjects. The information given is ‘official’ in the sense that it is supplied by officials, honorary or otherwise, of the societies, institutions, and laboratories dealt with, and we are grateful for the trouble they have taken.
The Year-Book of the Scientific and Learned Societies of Great Britain and Ireland: a Record of the Work done in Science, Literature and Art during the Session 1929–1930 by numerous Societies and Government Institutions.
