In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Ix 4. New Publi cat ions: THE GISSING NEWSLETTER: We welcome what appears to be another labor of love, THE GISSING NEWSLETTER wiΠbe edited by Jacob Korg (University of Washington), Pierre Coustillas Universite de Paris), Shigeru Koike (Tokyo Metropolitan University), and Herbert Rosengarten (Brasenose College, Oxford). Free of charge, it is intended for those interested specifically in Gissing. The editors welcome very short contributions, critical, biographical or bibliographical; "substantial articles on Gissing should, we feel, go to less specialized publications where they will find wider audience." All correspondence should be sent to Jacob Korg, Department of English, University of Washington, Seattle, V/ashington 98105. We are especially pleased to wish the editorial foursome well since we at one time or another have had helpful advice and assistance from all four and contributions from three of them. THE JOURNAL OF COMMONWEALTH LITERATURE: Norman Jeffares wrote to say that the School of English in Leeds plons to issue this new journal and that William Heinemann will publish it as a biannual. Each issue is to contain about 180 pages of bibliographies and criticism. It becomes increasingly evident, as Joseph Jones, the editor of CBCL NEWSLETTER, has long been insisting, that the study of Commonwealth literature deserves and will win wide académie acceptance as a valid major area of literary study. 5. CBCL NEWSLETTER, No. 6 (November 1964): This issue announces the topics of the meeting of Conference U held in connection with the MLA meetings in December, 1964; reports on the Second Conference on Commonwealth Literature held at Leeds, 9-13 September 1964; and announces the acquisition of the C. Hartley Grattan Collection of Australiana and South Pacific materials b/ the University of Texas, "another step towards establishing a center for Australian studies there." This issue also includes a supplement, "Shakespeare and the Commonwealth," prepared by D. H. Simpson and published by the Royal Commonwealth Society (London, 1964). 6. Exhibition Catalogue, Texas: The Humanities Research Center (University of Texas) has published a handsome catalogue of an exhibition (November 1964), A CREATIVE CENTURY, selections from the Twentieth century collections at the University of Texas. Illustrated with reproductions of manuscript materials, dust jackets, editions, authors1 signatures, and so on, the catalogue lists and describes, among many more, works by Beerbohm, Bennett, Blunden, Conrad, A. C. Doyle, F. M. Ford, Forster, Galsworthy, Gissing, Lawrence, Machen, Maugham, George Moore, A. Symons, and Oscar Wilde. 7.

Moran, Secty, Yeats international Summer School, Stephen Street, Sligo, Ireland. CORRECTION The name of Peter L. Irvine was misspelled in "ELT Research in Progress: 1965," ELT, VII: 4 (1964), 220. The entry should read: Symons. Peter L. Irvine, English Dept, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio 45221, A biographical study of Arthur Symons [diss, Columbia University].
