Williams College has the only such set. On the Atlantic sea- 
board such orders have been further received from Columbia, 
Cornell, Pennsylvania, and Princeton. Minnesota has two 
such ; Iowa and Illinois each one. The more restricted set, in 
which each paper figures but once, usually in the systematic

setts, one to Rhode Island, a number to the Washington depart- 
ments, two to Ohio, and one each to Indiana, Michigan, 
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Kansas. As will be seen from 
this summary, there are still districts where no complete set can 
be seen. This is a pity, since we are rapidly nearing the time 
when no more back sets will be available.

now being done for the zoological portion. A delay took place 
in consequence of a rupture with our former printer, so that 
in order to issue the book edition of the Bibliographia Physio-

In order to facilitate relations with the United States, Mr.

authorized to receive subscriptions. A large number of de- 
scriptive circulars will be deposited in his office and may be 
had on application. ;
