“A. Concerning the polyglot dictionary the following resolutions were ap
proved by the final plenary session:
1. The leading language of the polyglot dictionary should be English,
2. The extent and the number of words to be included in the dictionary
should be left to the discretion of the editors. However, due consideration
should be given to suggestions of national societies contributing to the compi

3. In editing the polyglot dictionary the proper agencies of UNESCO should
be approached for advice to standards in editing international dictionaries.
B. Concerning the bibliography of photogrammetric literature and
patents:
Each national society should prepare annually a bibliography of all photo
grammetric literature published and patents applied for in their country. The
bibliography and list of patents should be forwarded annually to the chairman
of Commission VI.
The titles of the bibliography or list of patents should be followed by a
concise resume of the contents in at least two languages, one of them preferably

photo interpreters’ needs and encouraged to improve the quality and design of
their products to better meet such needs.

issues which stress photo interpretation are sold readily to non-subscribers,
therefore be it
Resolved: that selected Commission VII papers be published in various
suitable periodicals in the near future and that a maximum effort be made to
