Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of Periodicals, Newspapers, Transactions and Other Serial Publications: Currently Received in the Principal Libraries of Boston and Vicinity This list includes current newspapers, periodicals, the publications of societies, universities and institutions, and in certain instances the reports of societies and public departments, when of especial interest or value. It is arranged in one alphabet, except for the agricultural experiment stations, which are all gathered under a single heading. American and English periodicals published by a society, when they have a specific title, as, for instance, the Archaeological journal, are, in general, entered under that title, and a reference is made from the society to the periodical. But journals, transactions, proceedings, etc. are entered under the name of the society publishing them. All publications of a foreign society, however, are entered under the name of the society. In the case of observatories, entry is made under the name of the place in which an observatory is situated, or of the university with which it is connected. Except in the case of English and American societies, references have been made under places to the societies located in them. The times of issue of periodicals are indicated as follows: d. daily; w. weekly; semi-m. semi-monthly; m. monthly; bi-m. bi-monthly; q. quarterly; semi-a. semi-annually; y. yearly. The dagger following the name of a periodical indicates that it is indexed in the Annual literary index, the double dagger that it is indexed in the Cumulative index. The letters at the end of the lines show the libraries in which the publications can be found. The numbers given are the shelf-numbers of the Boston Public Library. When the current numbers of a periodical are kept on file in the Periodical room of that library, this fact is indicated by the letters P. R. followed by figures and enclosed in parentheses, thus (P. R. 490). The expression "Per. room" signifies that the bound volumes also are kept in the Periodical room. An Appendix containing additional titles is on page 108. The Corrections are on page III.
