Also the Royal Bureau for Statistics and Topography at Stuttgart 

 (Koniglich Statistich-Topographisches Bureau zu Stuttgart) '. is prepared to 

 connect itself with the Royal Society, and exchange publications. This 

 Society is principally concerned with Statistics and Meteorology, and tlie two 

 publications sent herewith give further information. 



From the ROYAL GOVHENMBNT OF SAXONY, 



I have received a list of the following Societies which would be willing to 

 be connected with the " Royal Society :" — 



'' The General Du-ectorsliip of Royal Collections for Arts and Sciences 



in Dresden" (G-eneral-Direction der Koniglichen Sammlungen fur 



Kunst und Wissenchaf t zu Dresden) . 

 *•' The Statistical Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior at Dresden" 



(das Statistische Bureau des Ministeriums des Innem zn Dresden). 

 '* The Imperial Leopold Caroline G-erman Academy of Natural History 



at Dresden" (die KaiserUch Leopoldinisch-Carolinisch Deutsche 



Akademie der Naturforscher zu Dresden). 

 "The Academy of Mines at Freyberg" (die Berg Akademie zu 



Freiberg) . 



Of the coUectiou of pubUcations bearing on Natural History, which the 

 General Directorship of the Royal Collections intend to send regularly in 

 future to the Royal Society, a number of publications have been sent, as per 

 list herewith. 



In the GEAND D UCHY of BABEN there are four Societies of Natural 



Science : — 



1. " Society of Natural Science at Carlsruhe" (Naturwissenschaftlicher 



Verein zu Carlsruhe). 



2. ''Society of Natural Science" at Mannheim (Mannheimer Verein 



fiir Naturkunde). 

 3 " Society of Natural Science " at Freiburg (Naturforschende Gesell- 



schaft zu Freiburg), 

 4. '* Society of Natural History and Medicine " at Heidelburg 



(Naturhistorisch Medicinische Gesellschaft zu Heidelberg). 



Only the first and third of the above Societies have so far decided to con* 

 nect themselves with the Royal Society, and the Reports for the years 1870-73 

 of the Society of Natural Science are sent herewitb. 



Finally, I wish to mention that the *' Society of Medicine and Natural 

 Science," at the University of Jena (die Medizinisch Naturwissenschafthche 

 Gesellschaft der Universitat Jena) has resolved to send to the Royal Society 

 regularly a copy of their Jena Pamphlet for Natural Science, (Jenaische 

 Zeitschrift fur Naturwissenschaft), and thus enter into the desired connection 

 with that Society.
