New Series N.S. 31=52.1883 - N.S. 46=67.1890

• for the moment, there are no digitized version of this section available anywhere
• hence it cannot be verified as to how long the New Series count persisted and when the volume count switched to Whole Series volume count

• U Michigan, which still scans actively can provide single issues of volumes 52.1883 - 62.1888 (these issues have been registered to be requested for scanning in 2023 or 2024)
• Harvard Countway has complete volumes from n.s.: v.12(1873) - n.s.: v.55(1895) & n.s.: v.56:no.1-2, 5-6(1895), but does not scan actively any more

69.1891 - 90.1901

• according to Countway Library handwritten comments these are vols. New Series N.S. 47=69.1891 - N.S. 68=90.1901

• whole series count correct as per title page, hand-written New Series count in all Harvard Countway volumes - and hence also in their metadata (yet not officially on any issue's title page etc)
  • it is unclear why Countway Library is at N.S. 47 for whole series 69, as originally the difference in numbers was 21, equivalent to the number of volumes in the first series. It is absolutely unclear where this extra volume came from between (correct) N.S.27=48 to now N.S. 47=69, difference being 22.
