The Subject Index
references items under general headings; where a contribution covers
two or more clearly defined subjects, each is separately referenced,
but otherwise sub-headings within the same topic are not included.
Publication reviews are indexed as such, but their subjects are not
further cross-indexed. The Author Index
details all named contributions, including talks at Ordinary Meetings,
but not questions from the floor.
