This is drawn up by commissioners of the states and countries 

 belonging to the European International Geodetic Survey. It con- 

 tains references to about 380 writings on Geodesy, 200 of which are 

 German, 64 English, 50 Italian and 24 French. The English and 

 Italian literature is well presented, the German and French is not. 

 Coming from sucli a source, this list should have been a great deal 

 better. 



The work is received just as this sheet goes to press, and the fol- 

 lowing are the additions which it renders necessary to the preceding 

 pages : 



The work by Baeyer recorded on page 206 is a lithographed 

 manuscript issued in 1867 or 1868. Two other parts on Geodesy 

 were also published. 



The following articles, all relating to the adjustment of geodetic 

 triangulations, should properly have been mentioned in my list: 1865 

 ScHiAPARELLi, IstU Lombard. JRend., Vol. II, pp. 348-359 ; Vol. Ill, 

 pp. 27-41. 1867 WiTTSTEiN, Astron. Nachr., Vol. LXIX, col. 289-
