NB1 These are selected abstracts only, the Bulletin always includes other chit-chat and Society news.

NB2 we are a bit strange, we only add families in subjects when the surname is one that may be in common use elsewhere, such as the GREEN, BROWN, BLACK, WHITE families. Thus SHARP appears here, as we have many objects where "sharp" would otherwise appear in the catalogue.
