Xl PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



The new Library Catalogue has had a fair sale, upwards of 

 100 copies having been disposed of. 



The Society's Proceedings, vol. v., part ii., has been sent to 

 115 Societies, Institutions, Magazines, &c. 



The Library now contains 598 bound volumes, besides a large 

 amount of unbound material ; and the Librarian would recom- 

 mend that a portion of the latter, including such volumes as 

 have been completed, should be placed in the hands of the 

 binder immediately, as many of the works— rra>isacfio?is of 

 Foreign Societies— contain valuable monographs which are not to 

 be obtained in any other Library in Glasgow. These, when 

 unbound, and especially when containing plates, are very liable 

 to injury if kept in a loose condition. 



On account of the accessions to the Library during the year, 

 the additional accommodation, which was provided last Session, 

 has been fully occupied ; and it has been found necessary to 

 ask that some further book-cases be obtained for the conserva- 

 tion of the valuable works of Foreign Societies which are 

 rapidly accumulating, and for the proper arrangement of which 

 no space is at present available. 



The Chairman, as Convener of the Museum Committee, 

 reported on the work done by the Committee during the past 

 year. In addition to the collection of Ileioaticcv, which has 

 been completed and handed over to the Curator of the Kelvin- 

 grove Museum, several other collections are in course of pre- 

 paration.

 the Summer Session. The usual number of meetings and
