The Journal. 
11. The fifteenth volume of the Journal of Transactions has 
been issued, and its value is increased by the larger number, 
both at home and abroad, that have contributed to the 
investigations carried on by the Institute. A much larger 
Edition — almost three times as great as that issued a few 
years ago — is now published, and the Journal is subscribed 
for by several Institutions at home and abroad.
