Abstract

IN a ”Foreword ” to this work it is stated that ”this list is the outcome of a suggestion first made by Dr. T. Muir, F.R.S., in NATURE.” The list, which contains the names of about 1100 serials, must be of great service to workers in science in Cape Town; it is arranged in seven columns, the first containing the names of the serials and the remaining six references to the libraries in the following order: South African Library, South African Museum, Royal Observatory, Royal Society of South Africa, Geological Commission, and the South African Association for the Advancement of Science. There is also an appendix containing a list of the serials in the Bolus Herbarium of the South African College.
