LIBRARY ACCESSIONS 



The library has received as the gift of Mr. Patrick Calhoun, 

 through Mr* Waring P. Carrington, thirty-four volumes, which in- 

 clude a number of fine old works of travel and several books re- 

 lated to local scientific history, which have long been needed in 

 the work of the Museum. Among the former may be mentioned 

 the voyages of D'Urville, Peron, Durand, Harris, etc., while among 

 the latter are Porcher's Resources of Southern Fields and Forests, 

 Drayton's View of South CaroUna, Ramsay's History of South 

 Carolina, and the life of John Bachman. Among miscellaneous 

 works may be mentionedt he Southern Agriculturist, volume IV. 

 The Museum would be glad to receive other volumes of this series. 



Two astronomical volumes have also been presented to the 

 library by Dr. John Forrest. 



Through the courtesy of Mr. Hinson the Museum has been 

 afforded an opportunity of examining an extensive series of notes 

 and correspondence relating to the identity of Pinus Elliottii 

 Engelm. and P. heterophylla (Ell.). 



Note: Miss Persis N. Andrews, president of the board of direc- 

 tors of the Hamlin Memorial Hall, Paris, Me., has brought to the 

 attention of the editor a numlDer of errors regarding the history 

 of that institution as given in A Librarian 's Vacation in Maine, pub- 

 lished in the Bulletin ^ last spring. The chief of these is that the 

 Hamlin Memorial Hall was given, named, and endowed by Dr. 

 Augustus Choate Hamlin — not by Hon. Hannibal Hamhn.
