Abstract

This well-known review of all sections of science is published as a quarterly; the last number received in Australia (Vol. XXXI, No. 121), published in July, is well up to standard, and students of science will be able to take the advantage of keeping their general information up to date, whatever may be their more particularised interests. A very interesting article is contributed by Professor Adrian on "Research on the Central Nervous System", which will be just as interesting to the physicist as to the biologist ; after all, the physicist, depending on his nervous system for the making and interpreting of "observations" must necessarily be concerned with progress in the understanding of the central nervous system. The customary section "Recent Advances in Science" is one of the first sections to which the hurried reader turns: those who have neither time nor opportunity for browsing through even a small field of current scientific journals will find summarised in these sections sufficient of recent advances to keep them informed as to what is happening, and where to find fuller information on those advances of which they want to read more fully.
