The title of each abstract on the fallowing pages is the same as-or is a close translation of-that appearing in the corresponding original article. ( 445 ) PERIODICALS ABSTRACTED. ABBREVIATIONS. THE following is a list of periodicals from which abstracts are prepared (directly or indirectly) by the Institute of Meta.ls. The letters which constitute the official abbreviations used in the abstracts are printed in clarendon (black-face) type. Thus the abbreviation Met. Ind. (Lond.), found in the text of the abstracts, appears in the list of periodicals, combined with the full title of the periodical, as Metal Industry (London). To facilitate reference, tho names of the periodicals are arranged in the alphabetical order of their abbreviations. With the exception of those marked *, all the undermentioned publications are regularly abstracted. Abrasive I ndu~try. Abstract Bulletin of the Nela Research Laboratory.

PREFACE. of the following abstracts relate to papers published some years ago. These are included primarily in order to ensure completeness when the next ten-year Index Volume is published. It is regretted that they did not appear nearer to the date of issue of the periodicals to which they refer, but this was not possible owing to the small number of abstractors who were engaged upon this work at the time of the large expansion in the abstracting service which took place a few years ago. Since then the work of overtaking arrears has been strenuously pursued. As a result, the abstracting of the many hundreds of periodicals regularly searched is-in the majority of cases-no-\v quite up to date. By including abstracts of those which have been published some time ago, there will thus be rendere,d available a practically ·complete abstracting service as from 1921-the date of issue of the last Index Volume. From the point of view of the user of the ten-year Index it is a matter of no consequence in which particular volume of the Journal the abstract is published, so long as it can be found. It is hoped, however, that from now onward the abstracting will be kept thoroughly up to date. CERTAIN
