Recent Polar Literature

This selected bibliography has been prepared by R. J. Adie, Julia Allen, Terence Armstrong, T. H. Ellison, Amorey Gethin, J. W. Glen, W. B. Harland, H. G. R. King, and Brian Roberts. Its main field is the polar regions, but it also includes other related subjects such as " applied " glaeiology (e.g. snow ploughs and ice engineering). For the literature on the scientific study of snow and ice and of their effects on the earth, readers should consult the bibliographies in each issue of the Journal of Glaeiology. For Russian material, the system of transliteration used is that agreed by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use in 1947 (see Polar Record, Vol. 6, No. 44, 1952, p. 546). Reprints of "Recent Polar Literature", from Nos. 37/38 onwards, can be obtained separately (to allow references to be cut out for pasting on index cards) from the Institute, price 2s. 6d. for two prints. Copies will be sent without charge to organizations with which the Institute maintains exchange arrangements and which notify their wish to receive them. Readers can greatly assist by sending copies of their publications to the library of the Institute. provisionally Classification. To increase the usefulness of the bibliography entries have been arranged under subject headings in classified order according to the Universal Decimal la
