Three years ago the Reports on Astronomy were for the first time
published in three separate parts whereby related astronomical
topics were collected in one volume and each volume was kept to a
size of no more than about 250 pages. The a m was to facilitate a
wider distribution of individual volumes among astronomers and
other scientists interested in specific subjects of astronomy. The
same system was adopted for the present volume A of the IAU
Transactions which covers the activities in astronomical research
from January 1976 to December 1978. The Commission Presidents were
invited to restrict their reports, to present a selection of the
most important developments in the field of astronomy covered by
their Commission, and to avoid overlaps with other Commission
reports. As a re sult of the restriction in the number of pages
some Commissions presen.t a large, concentrated list of references
with little discussion, whereas others review some of the most
exciting recent research developments in their subject. The
distribution of the Commission Reports into the three parts of
volume XVII A is as follows: VOL. XVII A PART 1 commission 4.
