Date10 February 1891
DescriptionThe correspondent asks for the newest edition of Clifton & Grimaux's dictionary on approbation and the 'Archivio per l'antropologia e la Etnologia' ed Mantegazza from the beginning of the year. If the Messrs can obtain a complete set of the back parts of the latter for £10 or £12 the Royal Society will take them. They would also like, with continuation, the 'Bulletin de la Société française de minéralogie' at the price quoted in the Messrs memorandum.
