Summary:

Problems with expensive postage for [W. S.] Stratford's notices could have been avoided if these had been sent to R.S.L. for mailing. Explains R.S.L. system for foreign mailings. Believes that council's list of recipients for star catalogs should include many institutions that are not associated with observatories. Advises sending more copies to French institutions. Problems at Paramatta Observatory.
