HE present volume of has been carried out on the principles explained at length in the general preface in the volume.

Only in one particular has a deviation been made from the plan there adopted. The delimitation of the various departments in some instances having proved extremely difficult, it has been found desirable to indicate, in the case of each article, the department editor who is responsible for its appearance in the volume, by printing the initial of the editor on the left-hand side and the initials of the contributor or contributors in larger type on the right. When articles have been passed by the Executive Committee of the Editorial Board, instead of by the department editor, the initials "" appear at the left.
