Excerpt from Catalogue of the Periodical Publications: Including the Serial Publications of Societies and Governments, in the Library of University College London This catalogue contains the titles of all the works in the College Library which are issued in a serial form. Some publications are included which are not, strictly speaking, issued as periodicals (e.g. the Publications of the Ray Society), and there are a few others the right of which to be classed as periodicals is doubtful: but in both these cases it has been thought better to include something which may not be a serial rather than to exclude a work which may be looked for in a catalogue of periodicals. Every periodical is entered under the first word (articles only excepted) in the title, and the entries are arranged strictly in alphabetical order. The only exceptions to this rule are the entries commencing with the word 'Mitteilungen' or 'Mittheilungen, ' in which case the discrepancy in spelling has been ignored. Where the title of a periodical changes, the second and any following titles are entered immediately after the original one, cross-references being made from the later titles to the number under which the periodical is catalogued. Cross-references from the names of editors have been made in those cases where the journal is usually known by the editor's name.
