Abstract
THE recently issued second edition of the “World List of Scientific Periodicals” (see NATURE, Sept. 22, 1934) provides a census of the current scientific periodicals throughout the world. The detailed thoroughness of the work, executed under the editor ship of Mr. W. A. Smith, of the British Museum, with an expert staff, the advantage taken by them in regard to comprehensiveness of entry, from experience gained in the first edition now nine years ago, and the very magnitude of the list arrived at, extending to more than 36,000 individual titles, allow the supposition that in this conspectus we have the total current output of scientific periodicals of the world represented with something like exhaustive completeness.
