All the scientific works sent to the editor of the Record have been, and will hereafter be enumerated, whether specially noticed in the journals in question or not. The responses to the invitation for the transmission of copies to the editor for notice have been numerous, but many important publications have been withheld. In the interest of accuracy completeness of enumeration, the editor renews his request for copies of new works for notice in future numbers of the Record's Bibliography. and For the notices of books, those journals have been referred to which are most generally accessible to ordinary readers on account of the nature of their circulation.
