Abstract
(1) AT the Fifth International Botanical Congress held at Cambridge in 1930, the necessity for a new address book of botanists of the world was emphasised and an International Committee was appointed to make all arrangements for the publication of such a book. The Committee consisted of Prof. L. Diels (Berlin), Dr. E. D. Merrill (New York), and Major T. F. Chipp (London). After Major Chipp's untimely death in 1931, his share of the work was carried on by Miss M. Verbrugge. This volume is the result of the splendid effort of the Committee. Realising that it would be impossible to incorporate all available information in a compact volume of useful size, the compilers have made a wise choice of material and given such facts as they decided would be most sought after.
