The trace formula contains terms on the spectral side that are constructed from unramified automorphic $L$-functions. We shall establish an identify that relates these terms with corresponding terms attached to endoscopic groups of $G$. In the process, we shall show that the $L$-functions of $G$ that come from automorphic representations of endoscopic groups have meromorphic continuation.
