Abstract
IN recent months much has been said about the organization of science and, without prejudice to, or support for, any particular formula, there is one direction in which effect can be given in some measure to that aim, namely, in the provision for the British Commonwealth of a directory of scientists along the lines of “American Men of Science”1. Such a directory should be available in public libraries and research institutions and should serve to group together, in a manner hitherto entirely overlooked, those members of the community who conduct original investigations in the natural and exact sciences in any of the recognized branches. The concise style of entry, apart from the contentious practice of ' starring', adopted in “American Men of Science” is admirable for conveying the information that scientists have a right to expect to have regarding each other, and much would be gained in reducing the insularity felt by members of one branch vis-à-vis those of another.
