The accessions in this important division of the Museum were 

 specially noteworthy and numerous during the year just closed. 

 An increase of 2 2 2 titles over those received in any previous year has 

 to be recorded. This exceptional increase was due to the fact that 

 exchange transactions were for the first time inaugurated with 

 several learned institutions and societies both at home and abroad. 

 The number and value of the publications thus obtained increases 

 yearly, and every effort is made to extend the mailing list with this 

 object in view. The accessions were received from 122 individuals 

 and 628 societies and incorporated institutions, 228 of which were 

 from abroad. The number of periodicals subscribed to is 67. A 

 complete list of the accessions to the Library accompanies this
