dissertations from. abroad 
The Research Chronicle No.3 of the Royal Musical Association has pub-

lished a list compiled by Paul Doe, detailing all postgraduate theses written at 
British universities since 1945; the list will be up-dated in subsequent issues. 
To avoid duplication of effort, Current Musicology will cease with this issue its 
own listing of theses written at British universities. 

Dissertations written at the Rijksuniversiteit in Utrecht and published from 
1938 to 1958 can be found in Music in Holland (ed. E. Reeser, Amsterdam 1959), 
p. 116.
