LIBRARY. 



Additions have been made to the library by the receipt of 

 many exchanges. 



In the earlier days of our Society, papers of more than 

 usual interest were published in the " Canadian Naturalist." 

 It has been thought desirable to have these publications in 

 our possession, and so the first series of eight volumes of that 

 journal has been purchased.
