The following list still includes many works published in the war years. It covers every aspect of glaciology in all parts of the world. Attention is drawn to the bibliographies in the Polar Record which concentrate mainly on polar exploration and literature.

A few copies of some of the works marked in Vol. 1, No. 1, 1947, are still available for distribution.
