The early investigations into the structure and general physical properties of external galaxies up to 1935 have been reviewed by Curtis [A] and by Hubble [B]. The order of magnitude of their dimensions, luminosities and masses was established over thirty years ago by Hubble [25] and by Lundmark [44]. In the following decade more detailed studies of their colours, spectra and dynamics were undertaken principally at the Harvard, Lick, Mt. Wilson, Lund and Stockholm observatories. The main results available at the end of the war have been summarized by Shapley [C] and by Vogt [D].
