Abstract
COLONEL C. A. GILL has published a small book entitled “The Reform of the Calendar—a Measure of Social Security” (Reigate: Ancient House Bookshop. Pp. 36. ls.), which contains the proposals for a British Calendar. On p. 26 this Calendar is shown in full, and it agrees with the World Calendar (shown on p. 15), except that the days termed the 365th and 366th days are to be included as an eighth day in the last week of June and December respectively. It is suggested that the 365th day, June 31, should be called Mid-Year Day, and the additional day in leap years, bearing the date December 31, should be called Leap-Year Day.
