Antarctic Research Series Bibliography on Snow, Ice, and Permafrost
Translations of numbers 57 and 58 have been completed and the composition is in progress. Numbers 59 and 60 are being translated. There has been a marked change in the character of the more recent Bulletins. Each of the numbers through 56 contains about 60 or 70 pages, but each of numbers 57-59 contains 90-132 pages. Number 60, however, has only 72 pages. The articles have changed markedly in character also, tending to be longer and somewhat more scientific. The English editions of the first 30 Bulletins were published by the American Elsevier Publishing Company in three bound volumes, each containing 10 Bulletins. AGU began this work with number 31—numbers 31-42 making up volume 4 (unbound). Volume 5, which is also unbound, contains Bulletins 43-54. These two volumes (price, $36 each) and volume 6 (price, $40) are for sale by the American Geophysical Union, Suite 435, 2100 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037.
Antarctic Research Series WALDO E. SMITH
tains over 400 pages and 20 essays. Price: $17. By late 1967, three more volumes, devoted to ornithology, marine biology, and Ascidiacea, should be completed. Other volumes are in the early planning stages. They will be devoted to glaciology, oceanography, petrology, and the upper atmosphere of the Antarctic. Subjects being considered for the series are investigations of the Weddell Sea, gravity and magnetism, and fishes. The first seven volumes of the series, listed below, are still available. Volume 1, Biology of the Antarctic Seas, 1964, 187 p. , $10 Volume 2, Antarctic Snow and Ice Studies, 1964, 277 p., $12 Volume 3, Polychaeta Errantia of Antarctica, 1964, 131 p., $9 Volume 4, Geomagnetism and Aeronom y , 1965, 236 p., $10 Volume 5, Biology of the Antarctic Seas II, 1965, 280 p., $10 Volume 6, Geology and Paleontology of the Antarctic, 1965, 281 p. plus plates and maps, $14 Volume 7, Polychaeta Myzostomidae and Sedentar/a of Antarctica, 1966, 158 p., $10
American Geophysical Union The publication of volumes in the Antarctic Research Series, initiated in 1963 by the American Geophysical Union with the aid of a grant from the National Science Foundation, has continued and is moving forward at a rapid pace. This series includes research papers in all fields of antarctic science. Since May 1966, volumes 8 and 9 have been released. Volume 10 should be released by the time this issue of the Antarctic Journal is distributed. These books present collections of original contributions that are of value not only to scientists and students involved in the Antarctic, but also to those whose major scientific interests lie outside of that region. All of the published volumes are for sale by the American Geophysical Union, Suite 435, 2100 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037. Volume 8, Antarctic Soils and Soil Forming Processes, edited by J. C. F. Tedrow, was released in October 1966. It contains six essays by 10 authorities on antarctic scientific problems. The book has 171 pages. Price: $10. Volume 9, Studies in Antarctic Meteorology, edited by Morton J. Rubin, was released in May 1967. This 231-page publication consists of seven essays. Price: $14. Volume 10, Entomology of Antarctica, edited by J. Linsley Gressitt, is now being printed. It con208
Bibliography on Snow, Ice, and Permafrost W. R. FLOYD U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory The U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), continuing the program started by its predecessor organization, the U.S. Army Snow, Ice, and Permafrost Research Establishment (SIPRE), sponsors a bibliographic project conducted at the Library of Congress. Since 1950, a highly specialized staff has produced over 25,000 abstracts of scientific and technical articles pertaining to snow, ice, and frozen ground, including a great many items not otherwise available to researchers interested in these subjects. Standard library reference cards citing these articles are supplied to approximately 50 different libraries on their continuing request. In addition, this same information is published periodically as CRREL Report 12. The primary distribution is made to more than 300 addressees. The latest issue, volume 21, dated June 1967, contains abstracts 24,201 through 25,200. ANTARCTIC JOURNAL
