The Librarian reports as follows : — The rate of growth of the 

 Society's Library has been maintained during the year, 1328 new 

 books and parts of periodicals having been received. The 

 crowded condition of the book-shelves having become a serious 

 inconvenience, a Committee was appointed to confer with the 

 Librarian on the matter. The Committee accepted the estimate 

 of Mr. C. Hill for shelving one side of the Council Room at the 

 cost of £10 10s. The work is now done, and the Librariwaa 

 proposes that in future the room hitherto termed the Library 

 shall be reserved for works published in English, French or 

 German, while those in other languages will be kept in the 

 Council Room, where they will be available for members." 



During the year the following publication has been issued : — ■ 

 "Transactions," Vol. IV. — containing a "Monograph of the 

 Tertiary Polyzoa of Victoria," by the late Dr. P. H. MacGillivray. 

 Vol. VIII. of the " Proceedings " is now in the press and will 

 shortly be issued.
