Voici Ie Tome II de l'Arbitrage International Commercial. II y a quatre ans, a 1'occasion du Congres de Paris 1956 de l'Union Internationa1e des Avocats, que Ie premier volume a paru. Le Tome II sera offert par son rapporteur-general, notre confrere Ie Prof. Pieter Sanders, au Congres de Bale, September 1960, et il ne sera pas, nous en sommes convaincus, Ie dernier dans la serie de notre Manuel sur l' Arbitrage International Com- mercial. II me semble que nous pouvons etre reconnaissants a tous ceux qui ont bien voulu cooperer a Ia composition de ce Manuel, qui presente un interet primordial pour la pratique de l'arbitrage commercial inter- national. Je veux rappeler que Ie premier volume nous offrait deja une description du droit et de la pratique de I'arbitrage dans 16 pays de 1'Europe de I'Ouest et aux Etats-Unis. Le deuxieme volume y ajoute des contributions sur Ie droit et la pratique de 1'arbitrage dans 5 pays de l' Amerique latine et 7 de 1'Europe de l'Est. En vue de I'accroissement des relations economiques entre l'Europe de 1'Ouest et de l'Est et entre 1'Europe d'une part et les deux Ameriques d'autre part, les deux volumes de notre Manuel presentent une source d'information inappreciable. II apparait de plus en plus que la OU se developpe Ie commerce international, l'arbitrage suit. Pour la solution des conflits commerciaux internationaux l'arbitrage s'avere dans beau coup de cas comme la voie la plus indiquee.

Since the appearance of the third edition of 'Ethnomusicology', still more titles have come to my knowledge, all issued before September 1958. The reader will find them in this Supplement. I have used this opportunity to add some more synopses of training possibilities for ethnomusicologists, together with an additional selective list of recordings issued, as far as I know, in 1958. Finally I may express my gratitude to Messrs. Nijhoff who gave me the opportunity to improve my endeavor to give a practically exhaustive survey of what has been published in the field of ethnomusicology up to August 31, 1958.
