Tins annual publication has by now estab- lished itself as

the standard work of reference in its own particular field. The thirty-first edition (the first to be published by the Association itself) devotes 850 pages to the universities and university colleges of the Dominions and Colonies as well as 650 pages to those of the United Kingdom, in each case giving full staff lists besides general information drawn from the universities' Own calendars. Particularly valuable is the alphabetical index of over 30,000 staff members of the university institutions, pro- viding a ready key to all engaged in univer- sity work throughout the Commonwealth.
