London The Royal Society NOTE BY THE EDITOR

In 1937 the Council decided to issue Occasional Notes to keep the Fellows more fully informed of the activities of the Society. A year later its place was taken by Notes and Records in order to provide in addition a periodical for the publication of articles dealing with the history and past activities of the Royal Society and its Fellows which could not be printed in the Philosophical Transactions or Proceedings. One or two numbers of Notes and Records have been published each year since 1938 with the exception of the war years 1942 to 1945. The completion of the twelfth volume seemed an opportune moment for publishing an Index of the contents of Notes and Records so as to facilitate reference to them, and to draw attention to the valuable contributions to the for which the Royal Society is indebted to the authors. Dr. John Hutchinson, F.R.S., very kindly undertook a preliminary survey and following on this the present Index has been compiled by Mr. R. K. Blulim. He has also been respon­ sible for the sub-editing of the last two numbers of Notes and Records and the Editor wishes to acknowledge his skilful help and interest in the history of the Society. The Editor would be grateful for contributions to future numbers of and Records particularly those based on new documentary material. There must be many collections of letters and manuscripts of interest to the Society which are either unknown or hitherto neglected, several of which have been brought to light in articles in Notes and Records. Contributions should deal with the history of the Royal Society and its Fellows and should not exceed 5,000 words in length. Relevant illustrations would add greatlyto their interest. H.H.
