Sciences and Physics, including Astronomy, Meteorology, 

 Navigation, Geodosy, Civil Engineering, Geography, Maps 

 and Charts, and Voyages and Travels. The III Class of 

 books and pamphlets on Chemistry, Mineralogy, Mining, 

 Metallurgy, Geology, and Palaeontology, carrying the Cata- 

 logue folio up to page 250, is in press. These three, with 

 the IV Class, of 130 pages, and the V Class, of 115 pages, 

 would make a volume of aliout 500 pages, which might be 

 issued as a first volume. Leaving Classes VI, VII, and VIII, 



to make a second volume of about 600 pages The 



Catalogue has been increased in size to these unforeseen di- 

 mensions by the introduction of over ten thousand pamphlet 

 titles, which are usually in themselves longer than book titles, 



and are still further lengthened by their references 



When the Catalogue is published, an increased use of the 

 Library will probably be a consequence, for which additional 

 room will be needed. 



On motion, it was resolved that Dr. Bridges, Dr. Coates, 

 and Dr. Le Conte, be a special committee to obtain informa- 

 tion respecting the completion of the Catalogue of the Library. 



On motion of Mr. Fraley, an appropriation of $349 35 

 was made, to pay the bill presented for printing the Catalogue, 

 accompanying the Committee's Report. 



And the Society was adjourned.
