For the exhibition of the results of the meteorological labors of the 

 Institution at the Centennial Exhibition, an outline map 16 by 12 feet has 

 been prepared. This map will be of use to the lecturer and to the different 

 departments of the Government in exhibiting on a large scale tbe results 

 of various statistical inquiries. Already a number of different parties 

 have applied for copies, for which such a charge will be made as to con- 

 siderably diminish the cost to the Institution of the original production 

 of the map.

This system has been prosecuted during the past year with unabated

 credit to the parties who have transmitted free of cost the packages of 

 the Institution, we reprint, as usual, the following list of their names :

 York, agents of the Atlas Steamship Company, have made a very lib- 

 eral concession to the Institution in the reduction of charges for trans-
