as a considerable number of gentlemen neglect to make the return, believing that the non-return will imply "correctness.' But those gentlemen forget that "no return " may imply "death or "removal." It is therefore to be hoped that every one to whom the "Circular" is addressed will, without unnecessary delay, respond to the annual appeal of the Editors, especially as it is burdened by no conditions, and attended with no expense beyond that of postage. The "Directory " being the only recognised Register of Medical Practitioners, it is as important to the personal interests of the Profession as to the character of the work itself, that all the particulars contained therein should be strictly correct, and this correctness can only be secured by the co-operation of every Member of the Profession. The Editors beg now to call attention to the various alterations and additions which are to be found in the present volume. 66 1. A very considerable increase in the number of Names, &c., will be observed. The Editors have from various sources obtained the names of gentlemen who had hitherto neglected to forward the necessary particulars for insertion in the 'Directory." To each of these gentlemen the usual Circular was sent: many were promptly returned, but others paid no attention to the application, although it was again repeated. As the Editors are always unwilling to add to the "Supplemental List," they examined very carefully the published lists of the College of Surgeons and Apothecaries' Hall, and wherever the names and qualifications could be identified, they have been placed in the General List of known qualified Practitioners. If, therefore, any of those gentlemen, who have not replied to repeated applications, find their names inserted in the "Supplemental List," or if their qualifications, &c., are imperfectly described in the General List," it must be remembered that themselves are alone to blame. 2. The list of Medical and Scientific Societies has been augmented. 3. The County Infirmaries, with their Medical Officers, have been incorporated with the List of Hospitals and Infirmaries. 4. An important and useful addition will be found in "The Poor Law Medical Service of Ireland," giving the name of each County, Union, Clerk of Union, Districts, with their Population, Area, Names of Medical Officers, and their Salaries. This list has been compiled from various sources, and from original returns, at considerable cost and much labour, and the Editors trust that on examination it will be found as correct as can be expected for an original list so full of detail, and which is published for the first time in its present form. The number of pages added to the bulk of the "Directory' will prove how anxious the Editors have been to supply the wants and meet the exigencies of the Profession, and they most cordially thank those gentlemen who have so greatly aided and encouraged them in their work. 11, NEW BURLINGTON-STREET, LONDON.
