In order to fully understand this card, it must be mentioned that each 

 lot of books sent to the Smithsonian Institution for transmission accord- 

 ing to directions forms one single entry inthe in voice book of incoming 

 exchanges, in which the daily receptions are entered consecutively. The 

 number of this entry is noted on the list of addresses (which has to 

 accompany each sending, specifying the nature and contents of the 

 respective parcels) and on the parcels themselves. This numberwill be 

 found on the above card catalogue, appended to the name of the sender, 

 thus simplifying inquiry into the nature of the sending, should it become 

 necessary. 



Bules relative to scientific and literary exchanges. 



In consequence of the great inconvenience occasionally experienced 

 by this ofQce from indiscriminate sendings to it, for foreign transmis- 

 sion, of exchange packages, without specification of contents or any list 

 of addresses, involving an increase of work and the risk of misunder- 

 standings, the following rules regarding the scientific and literary ex- 

 change have been adopted, and they are now rigidly adhered to. 



1. Transmissions through the Smithsonian Institution to be confined 

 exclusively to books, pamphlets, charts, and other printed matter sent 

 as donations or exchanges, and not to include those procured by purchase. 

 The Institution and its agents will not receive, for any address, ap- 

 paratus and instruments, philosophical, medical, &c. (including micro- 

 scopes), whether purchased or presented; nor specimens of natural 

 history, except where special permission from the Institution has been 

 obtained.
