Abstract
THE publishers of this Year-Book are to be congratulated on their enterprise, for the present year marks the jubilee of its issue. There can be no question that the existence of such an annual volume has promoted the interests of science generally and of the societies with which it deals, by providing accurate details of the numerous scientific bodies in the British Isles. The present issue is on the usual lines; the various societies are classified into 14 groups. The officers, membership, dates of meetings, and publications of each society, institute, etc., are given, and in many cases further details, such as the objects of the society, are appended. A good index, and a logical grouping of the societies make it quite easy to refer to any society. All information incorporated in the volume is compiled from official sources; it is, indeed, a work of ready reference, worthy of support by scientific societies.
