R. INDEX TO THE REFERENCES.

IN the large number of serial works received regularly for use in the preparation of material for the Record, it has been found expedient to adopt some mode of abbreviating the titles, so as to save both time and space in writing and printing them. For this purpose the different countries have been represented by letters, and the journals numbered as in the following table. Publications referred to only occasionally are indicated by abbreviations of their titles at the ends of the articles. Where no references are made, it is to be understood that the article is partially or entirely original, and prepared by the editor or his collaborators; in some cases, however, that the quotation has been mislaid or overlooked.

The list of works here mentioned relates simply to those most frequently consulted-especially those coming direct through the post-office-and forms but a small portion of those passed regularly in review. The Smithsonian Institution is in regular and constant receipt of the latest publications from at least one thousand societies and establishments, public and private, in different parts of the world, and its unrivaled scientific library is used to a greater or less extent by the editor and his associates in the preparation of the Annual Record.
