     Provided in Article VII, Paragraph 6, of the Convention

                          (continuation)


1.Pursuant  to  Resolution Conf.  2.14,  adopted  by  the
  Conference  of the Parties at its second  meeting  (San
  Jos�,  1979), the Management Authorities of Switzerland
  and  the United States of America have communicated  to
  the   Secretariat   further   information   about   the
  scientific institutions which they have registered  and
  which  are entitled to the exemption for non-commercial
  loan,  donation  or  exchange of museum  and  herbarium
  specimens provided by Article VII, paragraph 6, of  the
  Convention.  The  attached  information  updates   that
  given  in  Notification to the Parties No.  924  of  20
  June 1996.

2.In  accordance with the provisions of paragraph  b  ii)
  of  Resolution  Conf. 2.14, the Management  Authorities
  of  Parties  which have not yet done so are invited  to
  communicate  to the Secretariat as soon as  practicable
  the  names and addresses of the institutions registered
  and  thus  authorized to apply the simplified procedure
  provided   by  Article  VII,  paragraph   6,   of   the
  Convention, or to inform the Secretariat, as  the  case
  may   be,  that  no  scientific  institution  of  their
  country will be registered for that purpose.

3.When  communicating their lists, Management Authorities
  are  invited  to  assign to each  institution  a  three
  digit  number  chosen  at their  convenience.  The  two
  additional  letters of the code will be  attributed  by
  the   Secretariat  under  the  system  adopted  by  the
  Conference  of the Parties [see Resolution Conf.  2.14,
  paragraph x)].

4.The  Secretariat would also appreciate  receiving,  for
  communication  to  the other Parties,  samples  of  the
  labels  used  by  all the Management  Authorities  that
  have   registered  scientific  institutions  for  CITES
  purposes.

5.The   present   Notification  is  a   continuation   of
  Notification to the Parties No. 924 of 20 June 1996.
