As Librarian of Clark University, I have received hundreds of requests by letter for references on Child Study,and am constantly required to assist special investigators here. To meet this demand I have drawn up the following list of books, memoirs and brief articles up to date, selected from a far larger list kept here. The alphabetical arrangement by authors has been chosen because it brings together the contributions of each writer, but to make the bibliography of use for topical reference there is appended at the end an index of the more important subjects arranged under the leading captions. Under section II the titles of the leading serial publications dealing with Child Study are given; under section III the Reports, Serial Studies, and Transactions of Societies, and, finally, under section IV, a brief list of current text books on themes most nearly allied to the work in this field.

In the brief notes appended to the publications I have had the assistance of several members of the Psychological department who have kindly looked over the list. I am also indebted to the Bibliographies of Professor Earl Barnes (No. 22), Dr. W. H. Burnham (No. 86), Dr. A. F. Chamberlain (No. 95), Dr. O. Chrisman (No. 105), Dr. G. S. Hall and J. M.
