Abstract
THE comprehensive index to the first twenty volumes of the Bulletin of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists is a fitting tribute to the work achieved by the Association during the first two decades of its existence. In 1917, the production of petroleum in the United States amounted to approximately 355 million barrels, whereas in 1936 it exceeded one billion barrels. The first volume of the Bulletin, issued in 1917, contained 176 pages, whereas the twentieth volume contains 1868 pages. This in itself is proof of the efforts made by the Association to further the search for oil and aid its scientific development during these years. The value of the work has been immeasurably enhanced by the compilation of an index, which facilitates reference to all publications of the Association during the period 1917-36.
