List of correspondents. 



Mention was made in the report for 1881 of the sending of a circular 

 to all scientific establishments in correspondence with the Institution, 

 asking for corrections and additions of any addresses of public libraries, 

 learned societies or scientific bureaus of Governments. The Institution 

 also requested secretaries of societies to furnish a list of the names and 

 addresses of persons actively engaged in scientific or literary investiga- 

 tions, together with the particular branch of learning to which each was 

 devoted, with a view of facilitating communications and exchanges 

 with specialists in all parts of the world. Another item of information 

 desired related to the literary productions and the libraries of the re- 

 spective establishments. 



Prompt responses having been very generally made to this circular, 

 a new list of foreign correspondents was prepared and issued in the 

 early part of the year, showing an increase of almost 600 new societies 

 over the list published in 1878. Copies of this new list were sent to all 

 corresponding establishments, and, as a result of further corrections 

 since the date of publication, an "addition sheet" for the year 1882 is 

 herewith presented :
