CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OF THE KANSAS ACADEMY OF 



SCIENCE. 



BY F. W. CRAGIN, LIBRARIAN. 



The following catalogue has been drawn up by the Librarian in accordance with 

 the plan proposed by him at the last Topeka meeting of the Academy (1883), which 

 was to render the library of the Academy a circulating library of science available 

 to all members; whereas without some such plan, its benefits must practically be 

 limited to the Librarian and members resident at Topeka. 



I have therefore weighed the volumes and pamphlets of the library, and have as- 

 certained and recorded the number of cents postage required for their transmission 

 by mail, and which will need to be sent by a member who makes application for any 

 of them. This number is indicated by inclosure in brackets, and is based upon the 

 weight of the book with the necessary wrapping. The abbreviation "b. t."' signifies 

 "bound together." 



In case of many of the heavier works, though a weight exceeding four pounds 

 does not as formerly exclude them from the mails, special single-book rates can be 

 had of the express companies which will somewhat lessen the cost of sending, while 

 at the same time affording safer carriage. The balance of postage will in such cases 

 be returned with the book applied for. 



The sending of all books will be subject to such conditions as the library com- 

 mittee may think safe to prescribe. But these conditions cannot at this writing be 

 definitely stated, and will be published to members by special circular. 



As below given, the catalogue includes all that has come into the hands of the 

 Librarian up to the 20th of June, 1887.
