Though the diplomatic relations of England and the United States over the Central American isthmus have received frequent consideration of a general character by writers on American diplomacy, no exhaustive study of the subject appears to have been before attempted. It is the aim of the following essay to present the result of a detailed investigation into Anglo-American isth- mian diplomacy, from the first emergence of Central America as a subject of diplomatic interest between the two countries down to the immediate present. The work here presented is to a large extent based upon new material. Part of this is in the form of printed sources, 'drawn upon to some degree by pre- vious writers but by no means exhausted.

    CONTRIBUCIÓN DE LOS HISTORIADORES DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS A LÀ HISTORIA DE ESPAÑA Y DE HISPANO-AMERICA EXPLICACIÓN PRELIMINAR ' u Excelencia el Embajador J. Hunteley Hayes pidió S desde Madrid que se preparase una lista de publica­ ciones hechas durante los últimos veinte años por los his­ toriadores de los Estados Unidos referentes a la Historia de España y de Hispano-América. En principio esta lista había de ser selectiva y no completa. La lista que se ofrece aquí es una respuesta apresurada a los deseos del señor Embajador. Se espera que en el fu­ turo se haga una bibliografía más completa, preferible­ mente con la intervención de un grupo de peritos. La com­ pilación actual está basada fundamentalmente en las bi­ bliografías de Mary Wilhelmine Williams en su People and Politics of Latin-America (Boston, Ginn and Co., 1938) y de A. Curtis Wilgus en su Development of Hispanic-America (New York, Farrar and Rinehart, 1941).

Sm: As provided by law, I submit herewith the Annual Report of the American Historical Association for the year 1939. This consists of one volume containing the proceedings of the Association for 1939, the proceedings of the Pacific Coast Branch for 1939, the report of the Conference of Historical Societies for 1939, and the report of the Conference on Latin American History for 1939. Work on Writings on Amerioan History has been suspended for financial reasons and the combined 1937-38 volume forming Volume II of the Annual Report for 1937 is the last one for which pro­ vision has peen made. It is, however, unthinkable that this indispensa­ ble tool to research in new world history should suffer permanent lapse, and its early reappearance is confidently expected. The com­ pilation of a cumulative index to Writings is now in progress and this will appear in due course.
