A copy of this new Exchange List has been published at the 
end of Vol. VI. of the Transactions. 
As our former list included three hundred and thirty-one 
Societies, there has been a gain of forty-three in the total num- 
ber. Highty names of societies, institutions, persons, and jour- 
nals have been dropped from the old list, because no longer in 
existence, or no longer in exchange with us, or because for other 
reasons their continuance was no longer desirable. 
In answer to the circular of the Academy, proposing exchange 
and revision of our list, which was prepared and sent out in 
1886, about one-third of the societies addressed have sent for- 
mal replies; about one-third have virtually accepted the ex- 
change by their continued action; and replies are yet arriving 
every week up to date. 
As a result of this circular, one hundred and twenty-three 
societies and institutions new to our exchange list have been 
included, nearly all of whom are now sending us their own 
publications. Many of these societies are very active and im- 
portant, and their publications very valuable. 
The list of Corresponding Members now numbers three hun- 
dred and twenty, of which seven names have been added during 
the year.
