Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Scientific Papers, 1800-1900, Vol. 3: Subject Index The subjects are arranged under the registration numbers adopted in the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature; a copy of Schedule C (physics) of that Catalogue, as revised in 1905, is prefixed to the Index, with indication of the pages on which the titles for the different sections occur. It has occasionally been found convenient, in order to save repetition in printing, to group entries under a sub-heading which is not contained in the International Catalogue Schedule. Where this has been done the sub-heading is printed in italics. In some of these cases the words of the sub-heading are understood to exist before the entries following them, and consequently these entries commence with small letters. These minor classifications, being often made mechanically on the basis of the explicit mention of the sub heading, are not to be taken as exhaustive; cognate entries may be found elsewhere under the same main heading. The unit of classification is thus the complete numbered heading. At the end of the volume will be found an alphabetical index to the subdivisions under which the subject titles have been arranged; this will much facilitate reference. The index also contains references to important subjects included within some of the subdivisions but without separate headings. The entries in the Index are arranged so that reference can be made, if necessary, to the complete titles in the Catalogue of Scientific Papers. Generally the author's name together with the date will indicate the volume in which the title of the paper may be found in full. But these clues are insufficient when the paper is anonymous, or occurs in Volume XII or in the additions to Volume VI. They are also at fault for titles marked with an asterisk showing that they belong to previous volumes; in these cases the number of the volume is given in the Index entry in small Roman numerals within brackets. The references have been made as short as possible; thus the number of only the initial page of each paper has been given; but the length of the paper may be found by reference to the Catalogue of Authors.
