Vol. xii. Tome i., Texte, 2® partie, dated on cover 1881 ; Vol. xiv. 
Tome iii., Atlas ii., 2^ partie, dated on cover 1879 ; Vol. xv. Tome iv., 
Atlas iii., dated on cover 1881, were received in May, 1882. The circu- 
lar, which accompanies them, proves that they could not have been issued 
prior to 15th February, 1882, and, in fact, were not issued until much 
later — many plates with errors having, moreover, still to be exchanged 
for rectified ones. All consideration of these works is therefore post- 
poned until the Record of the year in which they really appeared.
