Announcement Concerning Publications

of the

National Research Council

The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

is partly supported by the National Research Council which is represented
officially on its Editorial Board and Executive Committee. It is open for
the publication of papers to members of the National Research Council on
the same terms as to members of the National Academy of Sciences.

Subscription rate for the "Proceedings" is $5 per year. Business
address; Home Secretary, National Academy of Sciences, Smithsonian
Institution, Washington, D. C.

IiIBRAB?
The Bulletin of the National Research Council

presents contributions from the National Research Council, other than pro-
ceedings, for which hitherto no appropriate agencies of publication have
existed.

The "Bulletin" is published at irregular intervals. The subscription
price, postpaid, is $5 per volume of approximately 500 pages. Numbers
of the "Bulletin" are sold separately at prices based upon the cost of
manufacture.

The Reprint and Circular Series of the National Research

Council

renders available for purchase, at prices dependent upon the cost of
manufacture, papers published or printed by or for the National Research
Council.

Orders for the "Bulletin" or the "Reprints and Circulars" of the National
Research Council, accompanied by remittance, should be addressed:

MANUSCRIPT BIBLIOGRAPHIES IN

CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL

TECHNOLOGY

Compiled by Clarence J. West and Callie Hull

There exist many unpublished, or manuscript, bibliographies
for scientific subjects which, if known and made available to
investigators, would be effectively utilized. In view of this fact
the Research Information Service, in cooperation with the
Divisions of Science and Technology of the National Research
Council, has undertaken to compile lists of manuscript bibli-
ographies in the mathematical, physical, and biological sciences.
A list for geology and geography has already been published
as No. 27 in the Council's Reprint and Circular Series.1

The list presented for chemistry and chemical technology,
although incomplete, should prove useful. It is hoped that it
may also encourage those who possess unpublished bibliographies,
as well as those who are in need of bibliographic lists, to cooperate
with the Research Information Service by reporting their bibli-
ographies and by inquiring as to the existence and availability
of lists before undertaking independent compilation.

The fact that the information concerning each bibliography
included in this list — period covered, method of entry and ap-
proximate completeness — is taken directly from the reports
supplied to the Research Information Service, accounts for the
incompleteness of the data in certain cases and for the evaluation
of materials.

The Research Information Service is prepared to serve as a
clearing house in connection with scientific and technological
bibliographies. Those who prefer, however, may correspond
directly with the compiler of any given bibliography and, unless
otherwise indicated, may assume that the compilers listed have
indicated willingness to have their material consulted or dupli-
cated. Ordinarily a copy of any bibliography may be obtained
for the actual cost of duplication.

The Research Information Service will welcome corrections
or additions to this list and suggestions concerning the further
development of a bibliographic exchange.

1 Dr. H. P. Little has kindly consented to the incorporation into the
present list, of material of chemical value contained in his list.

The National Research Council

Membership and Organization.-The National Research Council
is a cooperative organization of scientific men of America, including a so
represenSion of men of affairs interested in engineering and industry
and in Te "pure" science upon which the applied science used m these
"tlvde depends. Its membership is largely composed of accredited
repreintativS of about seventy-five national scientific and technical
societies.

The Council was established at the request of the President of i
United States, under the Congressional charter of the National Academj
ofSctaS to coordinate the research facilities of the country for work on
war problems involving scientific knowledge. In 1918, by Executive Order
Hvas reorganized as a permanent body. Although partly supported dur
he war period by the government and primarily devoted at that time to
te activities, the Council now derive, all of its financial support from other
an governmental sources and is entirely controlled by ,ts own represen
tativety selected membership and democratically chosen officers. It mam-
tains, however, a close cooperation with government scientific bureaus and
their activities.

Purpose—The Council is neither a large operating laboratory nor
a repository of funds to be given away to scattered scientific workers
institutions. It is rather an organization which, while clearly _ recognizing
the unique value of individual work, hopes especially to bring 'together
scattered work and workers and to assist in coordinating scientific attack
in America in am- and all lines of scientific activity. Its essential pur
is the promotion of scientific research and of the application and dissemi-
nation of scientific knowledge for the benefit of the national strengtl
well-being. m

Research Fellowships

The Council maintains, with the fin* -tance of the Rockefeller

Foundation and General Education Board-to the amount of one i
dollars, to be expended during a period of five years-two
advanced fellowships.

Fellowships in Physics and Chemistry.— Candidates must already
hive made the doctor's degree or have equivalent qualifications and hav
demonstrated a high order of ability in research. Address application

or biology are eligible for these fellowships. Address applications I
