The duplicate works which have accumulated from time to time have been 

 catalogued, priced and packed, preparatory to sending them to Wm. Wood & 

 Co., of New York, for sale. Selections from these duplicates to the value of 

 $150.00 have been exchanged by the Library Committee for a copy of Elliot's 

 Birds of North America. 



During the year the books in the Conchological Department have been 

 newly catalogued and numbered. The latter arrangement has been produc-
