ABSTRACT
The March 1942 issue of the Journal de la Société de Statistique de Paris contained three items with regard to Potron. In Section VI Alfred Barriol wrote Maurice Potron’s obituary (see W1/Appendix I below), and in Section VII he published a report on the booklet which Potron had compiled at the occasion of his lecture series in 1937 (see W2/Appendix II). Moreover, in Section VIII we find Potron’s very last economic paper, ‘Lettre sur les statistiques industrielles’ (Journal de la Société de Statistique de Paris, 1942, 83: 207–8; the title comes from the Table of Contents).
