This historical account traces the beginnings of the Society for Education, Music and Psychology

A B S T R AC T Over the past 25 years there has been an increasing and worldwide research interest in music education, embracing a range of disciplines and perspectives. As well as particular research foci on the nature of curricula, musical behaviour and development, new research literatures have been developed that link music education with ethnomusicology, psychology (including neuropsychobiology, cognitive and developmental psychology), history, sociology and philosophy, as well as with mainstream studies in pedagogy. This review creates a 'map' of these various and related literatures in order to (i) provide a summative overview of the current breadth and depth of available research knowledge for actual and potential users, and (ii) create a research development agenda that embraces indicators of possible research priorities for the immediate future. The review is also a celebration of the major UK impact on these research literatures. An introduction (Swanwick) leads into a series of linked overviews, focusing first on research concerned with individual musical development (Hallam and Lamont), then on the potential impact to musical learning of social group membership (O'Neill and Green) and schooling (Cox and Hennessy) and concluding with an ethnomusicological perspective (Farrell) and coda (Welch).

The Crystalline Structure of the Sugars. Part V.l A Three-dimensional Analysis of Methyl P-XylosideBy C. J. Brown and (in part) Sir Gordon Cox and F. J. LlewellynThe crystal structure of methyl p-xyioside has been worked out from X-ray diffraction data. The trial structure was obtained from a combination of vector syntheses and graphical methods. Refinement w a s carried out by Fourier syntheses, followed by ieast-squares and structure-factor calculations using 861 terms until R = 5.9%. The results confirm the configuration deduced by Haworth, with the pyranose ring in the strainless trans form. The mean bond lengths are C-C 1.51 5 and C-0 1.41 7 A with the angles all approximately tetrahedral. Molecules are linked in chains along the screw axis by hydrogen bonds.
