Smith Ph.D." Subject: thanks regarding journal (and humor) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Thank you all for the overwhelming response. At random, I pulled a few descriptions of the journal: "According to the ETH library catalog here in Zurich, it is Roczniki chemii, which had changed its name to Annales Societatis chimicae polonorum in 1938, and, once again, to Polish Journal of Chemistry at some relatively recent time. A large university library might well know it under this name." "Rocz. Chem. is an abbreviation of the Polish journal titled "Roczniki Chemii" (translates as Annals of Chemistry)." "Abbreviation Rocz. Chem. means Roczniky Chemii (Years of Chemistry) which is a journal of Polish Chemical Society. It is not very known journal and it is not very widespread." "Don't have the journal here, but can tell you where is the US you can find it: UC Davis Phys Sci QD1 R65 v.1-51, 1921-1977. UCSD S & E QD 1 R684 38-41,U42-49,50-51 (1964-1977) The full journal name seems to be Roczniki chemji." Apparently the name was changed in 1977 rather than the journal ceased publication. Publications were both in Polish and English. Oh, and one more: "Doug - obviously, this is Roscrusian Chemie, the journal of cabalistic practices of central Europe. Well, I might be wrong here, since I think that journal went out of circulation in the 1500's or 1600's when the witches trials got too severe. Kinda hard to get reviewers when they've all been toasted!" Doug -- Dr. Douglas A.
