CORRESPONDENCE, 1883-1920
Note on correspondence: Correspondence comprises letters received by the Society, 1883-1917, with a few copies of letters sent. Most incoming letters were numbered sequentially by the secretary. This was not always done immediately so that some appear later than expected in the sequence. The numbered sequence in this collection begins at 101, May 1884. Some numbers are  missing, and some letters were removed from the sequence by the secretary or another office bearer and placed in special bundles, eg those dealing with the  New Guinea expedition. However, many letters relevant to special issues were left in the main sequence. The special bundles are described at the end of the  numbered and chronological sequences.
