REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.

I have pleasure in reporting that the statistics of the library 

 during the twelve months from Nov. 30, 1891, to Dec. 1, 1892, 

 indicate a steady increase in the rate of growth in this dejiartment 

 of the Academy. The number of accessions amount to 6,111. 

 This includes 1,108 volumes forming the John Warner library, to 

 be referred to later. Exclusive of this special gift, the current 

 accessions include 4,556 pamphlets and parts of periodicals, 413 

 volumes and 34 maps, making a total of 5,008, as compared with 

 4,335 of the preceeding year.
