number will probably be greater during the year to come, as 500 

 copies are printed of each number, there still remain about 250 for 

 further distribution or sale. 



Besides the additions made to the library by the exchange of 

 the Journal, considerable additions have resulted from the 

 exchange of duplicates of various books which have been received, 

 and this will probably be a source of considerable increase in the 

 future. Of various periodicals and pamphlets accumulated, 115 

 volumes have been bound and placed on the shelves. This rapid 

 increase will soon crowd the shelves and make more room a neces- 

 sity, but at present there is still space at command. 



The use of the library has been limited, but it is hoped that 

 the members of the Society will soon come to realize the value of 

 the library as one of reference and consult its books and pamphlets 

 more frequently.

 Respectfully submitted, 



Jos. F. Jamp:s, Librarian.
