THE ORIENTAL CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA has placed at the disposal of the LINGUISTIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA a limited number of copies of two of its publications, Thirty Years of Oriental Studies, and The Song of Songs: A Symposium. The former volume was issued in 1918 in commemoration of thirty years of activity of the Club, and contains papers by John P. Peters, Morris Jastrow Jr., R. W. Rogers, and E. W. Hopkins, on the progress of Semitic and Indo-European studies from 1888 to 1918. The latter volume was issued in 1924; it contains papers by M. L. Margolis, J. A. Montgomery, W. W. Hyde, F. Edgerton, T. J. Meek, and W. H. Schoff. Members desiring complimentary copies of these volumes, or of either one of them, should apply to the Secretary of the SOCIETY.
