From some of the above mentioned Institutions, no returns have yet been 

 received. These will be found marked with an asterisk. From many so 

 marked, however, an exchange is shortly expected, while from others, 

 such as Libraries, w^hich publish no transactions, nothing can be looked 

 for. Even here, however, duplicate volumes, as has already happened in 

 several instances, will occasionally be transmitted. Many of the Universi- 

 ties on the continent have forwarded the theses of their graduates, and 

 other miscellanea. It must also be observed, that the period at which it 

 was found possible conveniently to transmit volume I. of vSmithsonian 

 Contributions to France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, has been so recent as 

 to render the reception of any returns up to the present date impossible. 



It may be proper to add, that suitable occasions of forwarding to some 

 of the above mentioned societies, have not yet occurred, although shortly 

 expected. This is the case in regard to some of the Asiatic societies, the 

 Egyptian society of Grand Cairo, and those of the West Indies and South 

 America.
