In order to bring the existence and objects of this 
Journal to the knowledge of Furopean Missionaries re¬ 
siding in the less frequented parts of the Archipelago and 
Eastern Asia, and with the hope that they would be 
induced to contribute to it, we continued for 12 months 
to present it to all whose names and addresses we could 
ascertain. At the end of that period we limited this dis¬ 
tribution to a few gentlemen at each station, and we now 
intend to send copies to those only who have acknow¬ 
ledged the receipt of the numbers hitherto forwarded. 
As the presentation of a large number of copies is at¬ 
tended with considerable expense, we shall adopt a 
similar rule in future with respect to scientific societies 
and editors of journals. While the principal societies in 
England, such as the Royal Society, the Linnaean, &c., 
and all the Indian ones, have acknowledged the receipt of 
the Journal, and most of the editors of periodicals to whom 
we presented copies have favorably noticed it, and sent 
or offered to send their publications in exchange, there 
are some who have continued to receive it from its com¬ 
mencement without any acknowledgment direct or indirect. 
We shall continue to send it to all the leading societies, 
a list of which we formerly published, and repeat an ex¬ 
pression of our readiness to send it to any others that 
may inform us of their desire to receive it. 
To Contributors we shall continue to send a copy of 
the Journal, and 10 copies, printed separately, of their 
contributions,
