With volume 80, the Reatsic began adding short descriptive comments to the standard bibliographic information published in previous volumes. These comments are prepared by the editor after brief examination af the publications discuraed. The number of items received makes formal review of the great majority of them impossible.

The comments in these notes are not intended to be interpreted as recommendations for or against the books and other ivritings described. These comments serve only as information for the guidance of our readers who may w-ant to obtain and examine one or more of the publications further on their own initiative. However, description of an item in this secrion does not preclude simultaneous or subsequent review in the Military Laa Reaiaic.

Notes are set forth in Section IV, below are arranged in alphabetical order by name of the first author or editor listed in the publication, and are numbered accordingly. In Section 11, Authors or Editors af Publications Noted, and in Section 111, Titles Noted, below, the number in parentheses following each entry is the number of the corresponding note in Section IV.
