M. A. MEHENDALE
In the first volume the Editor had said that it was impossible for him to include everything that had appeared in the different Journals and that he was therefore forced to make a "judicious selection of articles". On going through the matter presented in the volume under review one has to say that this principle of 'judicious selection was not applied rigorously. Again, although one observes that the abstracts of papers published in this volume are on an average shorter than those in Vol. I (where they often extended to the length of a full page, and occasionally even beyond that), it must be said that they could have been still shorter. If both these principles-careful selection-and abstracts of minimum length-are strictly adhered to, it would be possible for the Institute to bring out future volumes expeditiously and at a considerable less cost, without sacrificing its utility.
