NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



Owing to the great length of the Account of the Meeting of the 

 British Association at Dublin, Communications, Notices of Books, 

 &c, are unavoidably delayed until next Number. 



We regret exceedingly that Mr Hardy's ample and excellent Re- 

 port of the Proceedings of the British Association in Dublin, did not 

 reach us until the last sheet of our Journal had passed through the 

 press.
