 LIBRARIAN'S REPORT, 1890-91. 



To the Council of the Ottawa Field- Naturalists' Club 



Ladies and Gentlemen, — I have the honour to report that since 

 our last annual meeting the library of the Club has been removed from 

 its old quarters in the Literary and Scientific Society's rooms to a room 

 kindly provided for that purpose in the. Normal School building by 

 Principal MacCabe, Partly owing to lack ot time on my part and 

 partly to the delay of a carpenter intrusted with the making of a set of 

 shelves, the books have not yet been placed in order, for which an 

 apology is due and is hereby tendered to Principal MacCabe as well as 

 to the Council of the Club. I am assured, however, that the shelves 

 are now being made and will shortly be completed. Their cost is not 

 to exceed $6.00. An appropriation of $10.00 has been made for bind- 

 ing periodicals received in exchange for the Ottawa Naturalist, and 

 arrangements will be made for the binding of fourteen volumes, which 

 will probably contain upwards of twenty volumes of periodicals, as 

 some of them are small enough to be bound two or more together. 

 Eight names have been added to our exchange list during the year, as 

 follows : — 



Botanische Gessellschaft, Munich, Bavaria. 



Iowa Academy of Sciences, Des Moines, la. 



Jardin Botanique, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 



Natural History Society of British Columbia, Victoria, B.C. 



Natural History Society of P. E. I., Charlottetown, P. E. 1. 



Rochester Academy of Sciences, Rochester, N.Y. 



Scudder S. H., Cambridge, Mass. 



Victoria University, Cobourg, Ont. 



The total number of exchanges now on our list is 71. 



A list of publications received as donations and exchanges during 

 the year is appended to this report. 



Respectfully submitted. 



WM. A. D. LEES, 



Librarian. 



Ottawa, 17th March, 1891.
