rv Preface. 
A list of learned bodies with which the Royal Society of 
Victoria is in correspondence, and to whom the Transactions 
are forwarded, also appended, shows the immense circulation 
given to the Papers read before the Society, and affords some — 
guarantee of the benefit Victoria must ultimately derive 
from the mass of information on all subjects appertaining 
to her Natural History being disseminated throughout the 
world.
