Abstract
The subject of geometrical probability has recently shown signs of renewed vigour which is partly due to the attractive nature of the many unsolved problems which it contains, and partly the ever widening field of applications. These applications are so diverse and so scattered in the literatures of different branches of science that when Professor M.G. Kendall and I published a monograph on the subject in 1963 some interesting papers were ignored. Others have since appeared and the purpose of the present paper is to survey, in a very brief manner, work not described in that book. In fact the present bibliography, which contains 94 items, is disjoint from the bibliography in our joint monograph.Keywords
