Abstract
THE annual Exhibition of Scientific Instruments and Apparatus organised by the Physical Society for many years before the War was always an important occasion for the physical sciences, and the very full catalogue prepared in connexion with the Exhibition served as a guide and record of much value. It is an achievement on the part of the Society, and of the officers particularly concerned, that the first post-war issue of the Exhibition catalogue has been issued promptly, and in its well-known style. The Trade Section occupies 232 pages, and apparatus being shown for the first time is marked by asterisks ; the Research and Educational Section occupies 45 pages. There are alphabetical lists of the exhibitors in these two sections, and a subject index of the whole. It will quickly take its place, with preceding volumes, as a reference work ; and it is of special interest as illustrating many of the developments of the war years. The catalogue is published by the Physical Society, 1 Lowther Gardens, Exhibition Road, London, S.W.7, price 2s. net to non-members (2s. 6d. post paid).
