PREFACE

The Index to Vols. 11–20 of the S.M.C. Journal has been compiled on similar lines to Messrs. Garden and Parker’s Index to Vols. 1–10, but not in any such detail.

The Illustrations Section, detailed separately in the latter Index, has been incorporated in the General Section of the present one, and other amendments have been made as follows:

1. Authors – Authors of Reviews, Meet, and other Reports, In Memoriam notices etc, have not been included. Only authors of Articles, and Paragraphs in “Notes and Excursions” have been indexed.

2. Club Proceedings – This has been abbreviated very considerably, only the more important headings likely to be referred to, being retained.

3. S.M.C. Abroad – To save space, this Section has been cut down to mere reference to districts visited, but a detailed list of all peaks climbed is available for reference in the Club Library.

4. General – Casual references to ascents, and all ascents at Meets, have been omitted, unless of primary importance. Descriptive articles appear in Bold.

5. A new Section, dealing with the Junior Mountaineering Club of Scotland, has been introduced, containing reference to Club Proceedings and Sectional Proceedings. Meets of the Club have been indexed under one heading according to locality.

Compiled by the following Members of the Club:
