FOREIGN EXCHANGE AGENCIES. 



Since Finland became an independent State the president of the 

 Delegation of the Scientific Societies of Finland, Helsingfors, has 

 offered the services of that delegation as the Finnish exchange agency. 



This offer has been accepted and consignments intended for that 

 country are now forwarded in care of the delegation. 



Dr. Julius Pikler, of Budapest, whose services as Smithsonian 

 agent for Hungary were, owing to the war, discontinued June 30, 

 1917, until further notice, was reappointed Hungarian exchange 

 agent, to take effect July 1, 1920. 



The Bureau Scientifique Central Neerlandais — the Dutch exchange 

 agency — formerly under the Bibliotheque de I'Universite, is now 

 under the Bibliotheque de I'Academie Technique at Delft.
