The back volumes of the Transactions, with the exception of 
volume I, have been extensively utilized in securing ex¬ 
changes with foreign scientific societies. Only a limited num¬ 
ber of copies of volume II being still in the possession of the acad-

of the state are entitled to receive the publications of the Acad- 
amy (See list on page ix of volume VIII of the Transactions)

as possible. Mr. Wm. M. Smith, the librarian of the Univer¬
