We may draw attention to The " Athenaeum " Subject

Index .to Periodicals, 1916, issued at the request of the ,Council of the Library Association. A new part, devoted to theology and philosophy as discussed in a very large number of periodicals, has just appeared (Athenaeum, 2a. 6d. net). It is a very good index, and will undoubtedly be very useful to students. Under the heading "Women as Ministers," for example, are all the chief pronouncements in lad year's controversy.
