With regard to the distribution of the Journal, every effort has 

 been made to place the copies free of expence in the hands of the 

 subscribers throughout the kingdom, but it having appeared, 

 however, that in some cases they have not duly reached their des- 

 tination, the Society, on being informed of any omission in their 

 delivery, v/ill give immediate directions for such copies to be sent 

 direct to the parties so requiring them. They have also to an- 

 nounce that the arrangements are completed for the new Number 

 of the Journal, and that it will make its appearance on the 1st 

 of February.* 



The English Agricultural Society having held out an offer to 

 receive communications from local agricultural associations, and 



* His Grace the Duke of Richmond, as President of the Society, sug- 

 gested to the Meeting a mode for the distribution of the Journal, subse- 

 quently adopted by the General Committee on the 15th of January, as the 

 simplest and most efficient arrangement for placing the copies in the hands 

 of the subscribers, free of expence, and with the greatest security and least 

 loss of time. The announcement of this plan is made at the commence- 

 ment of the present Number of the Journal.
