181 volumes, including 20 volumes of entomological pamphlets, 

 have been bound. 



The copying of the Geological Catalogue, which had been 

 revised and arranged at the end of 1873, has been completed. A 

 general card catalogue of the entire library has been commenced, 

 and the titles of all the volumes and pamphlets in the departments 

 of Entomology and Botany, the former numbering 1067, and the 

 latter 1024, have thus been recorded. The works in these depart- 

 ments have been numbered, so that their position on the shelves is 

 indicated by the entry on the card, and the advantages of this 

 arrangement have been found to be so great that the same system 

 of numbering and cataloguing will be extended to the other depart- 

 ments of the library as rapidly as may be.
