THE present publication is intended as a list of the foreign 



institutions with which the Smithsonian Institution is, at the 

 present time, in correspondence, and in fact embraces all that 

 have come to its knowledge having objects akin to its own, or 

 from which it has received serial publications up to the date 

 mentioned on the title-page. 



As new editions of the list will be published from time to 

 time, the Smithsonian Institution desires to receive any informa- 

 tion relative to new addresses, changes of title or character of 

 the old ones, typographical errors, etc.
