The Journal of the British Astronomical Association

Index to Volume 107 (1997)

Prepared by R. A. Marriott

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.

Abbreviations: ill.= illustration; news= in 'Notes and News' or 'BAA Update'; ltr.= letter to the Editor; rvw.= publication review; mtg.= meeting contribution
